What does an Oxy Od feel like?

Feels the same as any other opioid OD.

My first drug overdose was insufflated Oxycodone. Very little tolerance, pushed past my limit. It was technically an overdose, but I did not fall out or have to go to the ER. I felt while coming up that it was way too strong compared to any other time using Oxy, so I knew I did too much. It was difficult to breathe for several hours, had to fight the urge to go to sleep (which was very difficult) until my breathing was back to normal, extreme sedation. Very unpleasant, much more unpleasant than two later IV Heroin overdoses which knocked me out the second after I removed the needle, both times.
 
Moral of the story : pharmacutical pills are not meant to be administered via a needle in your fucking arm.

You would be unable to stay conscious, you would fall under and not come back.
Your breathing would be extremely shallow.
A lot of people get paranoid when they take a large amount and end up nodding, thinking that they're going to OD.

Health care workers are very clear about this: you don't have to be unconscious to have taken an overdose.

There is a huge difference between being very high, nodding hard, and being on the verge of not being able to breathe without intense effort. Had I taken this dose IV at the time, I would have fallen out and possibly died. Needles came later.

Regardless, depending on ROA, the drug(s) involved and other factors, it is indeed very possible to be conscious for part of or all of an overdose.
 
I feel like i"m od'ing right now. I've done about 560 mgs of Oxy since about 7:00pm last night (it's now almost 1am...so 30 hours or so).

But I also suffer from panic disorder, so it could also just be a panic attack. I'm not sleepy at all. But I sometimes feel like I'm forgetting to break and I'm super, super anxious. My pulse is up for sure. A little dizzy. Some numbness/tinglin in my left shoulder and arm. Hard time focusing on what i"m reading/typing (I seem to do better when I close one eye).

Basically, I'm starting to freak out. I think since i woke up this morning, I've done about 8 OC 40's throughout the day...with the last 80mgs about 1/2 hour ago.

Somebody tell me to just calm the F**k down and that it's only a panic attack. Cause my thought is that if I were really od'ing, I'd be much more fucked up (sleepy, confused, high, nodding, etc) than I am.

and to think, this was gonna be my last night (again). What a shitty way to end this run.
 
560 mg's?

you're tolerance is very high. you need to slow down. you're gonna damage your liver if you keep it up.
 
You are so right..my tolerance is out of control and I need to slow down. As a matter of fact, I'll be taking a nice long (who knows...maybe permanent) break from the opiates starting today. Not only is the negative affect on my health a bad thing, but I'm also spending insane amounts of money to catch a buzz. It' just not worth it these days.

And regarding my liver....I'm not sure if I'm really doing any extra special damage to that organ as I abuse Oxycontin (brand name stuff) and it has no APAP in the pills. But I'm also no kind of expert on what oxycodone can do to the body, so maybe that alone can be bad for the liver.

Thanks for the response!
 
I would assume that, at some point, oxycodone itself becomes toxic...though I'm not sure what kind of dosage that would mean.
 
this happened to me with heroin. i took way too much and had trouble staying concious, but in retrospect i was just paranoid and my breathing was fine...i was just nodding hard.

are there any other signs that tell you you're just really high and not ODing? i heard your face turns blue (which might make sense for what i said above, as my face was red and i was just really high)

Feels like you have jelly bones and you have respiratory depression(which is where its hord to breath and you have to make yourself breath or else your body will forget to and youll take very small breaths and most likely passout from not getting enough air and if you cant breath cause of opiates stay up until or breathing is back to normal and you dont have to make yourself breath kus if you fall asleep and your taking very shallow breaths you CAN die in your sleep
 
It feels like going to sleep and waking up covered in sweat, lethargic/weak , dehydrated. I even had the thought, this seems like a little much....then it was the next day and I was hearing stories about having blue lips the night before.
 
I believe that I OD'd from OxyContin. It was very hard to breathe and I couldn't move or I'd vomit. I must have vomited 10 times and it was like black probably because I had no food in my stomach. I was also shaking really bad and felt cold. Blue fingers.

I didn't go to the hospital. My friend didn't want to send me there anyway. We made a deal that if one of us OD'd than we'd just let them die. We lived pretty hardcore
 
Just a question SWIM has been taking Opiates for 14 years now. SWIM started on Lorcet 10's now SWIM is up to Oxy 30's about 2 or 3 at one time. SWIM suffers GREATLY GREATLY from panic disorder from being over seas in iraq and afghan more months than SWIM can count. SWIM is always SUPER SUPER parnoid after taking alot of Oxy. and was wandering if its my panic disorder that makes me think my breathing is shallow or if its the actual oxy. SWIM has no other OD symptoms every no vomiting no blue lips no pinpoint pupils non of that only SWIM catches himself counting his breath making sure he is looking in the mirror every 2 secs for blue lips. Do you guys think SWIM is really just parnoid because of anxiety disorder or do you guys think SWIM am legitmatley on the brink of OD?

Also SWIM read above that someone said that you can OD while you you are concious. SWIM am really unaware of OD. And thought that it was a progression that SWIM would know that SWIM is fucked up really bad and to call 911. SWIM has horrible axiety disorder so SWIM always has the phone next to him just in case. Can someone explain to SWIM what the process of ODing is and like would SWIM know or have an idea or is it just one minute SWIM is happy go lucky playing videogames then the very next second your dead?

Thanks for any responses.

Sorry for saying SWIM i wont do that again i was informed its not a common practice on this website.
