Opioids Roxicodone or Oxycontin: What would you prefer?

for me its roxy's. they seem to keep me up there longer.
but i rarely do them, because they are hard to come by here.
so i have a tiny tolerance, so idk, OC's might be better for you.

Mr. Blonde - I do have pain (thus the medications), but my psychological pain is worse right now and I am just wondering which would be better for euphoric purposes. I thought this is a place where one can seek discussion and advice.

Opioids aren't for psychological pain; there are meds for that and therapy and counseling services and all sorts of avenues that will actually address that issue rather then just cover it up and make it worse.

When you start to make choices about your meds based on covering up psychological difficulties rather then physical pain, then it's time to seek help. This is a place for discussion and advice, and my advice here would be to get treatment for your psychological problems and not try to self-medicate them. I've been there before, and I know it doesn't end well.
 
Watashi Wa,

Since you're no longer TAKING pills, and just COLLECTING them, my advice is this. Oxy's are GENERALLY easier to come by than roxys. However, there's only about about two or three sizes of roxys, right? I suggest building up a full oxy collection, just because there's so many of them, first. One hint, you might start with the Teva series. Since most junkies would just as soon eat Advil as take a Teva OC, you can probably get those pretty cheap. And since they're less abusable than Purdue OC or any brand of roxy, it will be less tempting to dip into your collection;)
 
Binge - I guess you read my TDS post. Unfortunately, I could resist the percs, but with roxi's or OC's - fuck it, I'm going to enjoy them, so I will be taking them and not collecting. Thanks for your concern though.

Mr. Blonde - Thank you for your words of wisdom, and of course I know you are right, but I am at a point where I just don't fucking care, have no money for therapy, and damn well am gonna get high if I can because I have nothing better to do or nothing better that will help my life. In a couple months, hopefully my job situation will fix and I will get my life straightened out - believe me. I have never been a long time addict for anything and have ridiculously high will power and can stop when I actually need to. That's just it - I DON'T need to stop right now, i have no reason not to get high. However, in not too long, I will HAVE to stop to get a good job and get my life straightened out which is much more important to me. I am just filling the void right now.
 
Everyone certainly has the right to drive their own chariot, even if they choose a rougher road than some. But are you familiar with the phrase "eternal now" and all the cliches that it inspired? I believe that you got the response that you did from a few people because you didn't just ask a simple question, you also made a statement (several actually) about why you want to use the oxy/roxie. They responded to that. There is a very strange line that exists between what is deemed acceptable when discussing the euphoria of opiates, and what is not. Like yourself, I don't understand it either.

Personally, I prefer roxies because after having taken oxicodone for a long time, I got very sensitive to a certain chemical and chemical smell that comes from oxys. If you open a bottle of them and bring it up to your nose, you will notice a chemical smell that for me is almost as obnoxious as formaldehyde. Roxies have no such odor.

Roxies also feel different to me - lighter, as others have said, with fewer subtle side effects. But everyone is different.

I don't see why the OP is catching so much criticism for what seems to be a legitimate question to me. Just because he/she enjoys their pain meds, doesn't mean that they aren't in real pain.

I have recently found myself asking myself the same question: Which do I like better? as I have only just recently come across the IR form of Oxycodone instead of the usual 40's or 80mg Oxycontin. I must say I enjoy the lack of fillers in the IR tablet, and they seem to really pack a punch for their size and dosage. A 30mg IR tablet IMO/E provides results similar to that of an OC40, with about half the amount of binders/fillers.

I suppose I like both for different reasons, but I feel I will always have more of a soft spot for Oxycontin. I also prefer the taste/smell of OC to that of the IR.

The way it seems to go is people prefer roxis, become serious users, then prefer OC, then lose any preference and take whatever will keep them from being sick, since a single script never lasts more than a few days anymore.

Not criticizing... just my personal pattern which is identical to about 12 other people I know that doctor shop.

But really oxycodone = oxycodone. As long as you do the same number of mgs, and crush OCs, the difference is all in your head.

I was a 'serious' user. I did some form of opiate every day in massive tolerance caused doses. But I still proffered the roxys. Even If I had to crush 10 to get high, it still just felt better.
 
Thanks a lot guys - I am the OP btw. I just joined a few days ago and have been posting non stop because I love the site and I love the people. Never has my faith in Blue Light been shaken until this thread, because of the assholes who slammed me for so reason. If they read my posts I am also depressed and my life is super shitty right now, but I guess that doesn't stop them from trying to make me feel like shit. Anyway - I appriciate all the others who agreed with me. After some of the shit I've read on here - including from Mods - I was dumbfounded when people were appalled by what I thought was a legitimate question. I still stick to my feelings and think everything I've said is appropriate and thank you all for your continued support - it makes me think that humanity has not failed quite yet. Anyways - keep the discussions coming, it's good to hear thoughts and opinions.

10 to get high isn't massive tolerance. And it's a pattern, not an absolute law.
 
I would say it depends on how you are taking them. If you are going to take them oral I would go with the IR but if not I would go with the non generic time release OC's.

That is just my opinion.
 
i prefer roxies becuase the IR. popping oxycodone is better than snorting anyway....what would be ur dosage/directions?

Your question is not legit and that attitude of my life sucks so I will abuse meds is lame.Besides your going to go into further hell with an opiate addiction without dealing with the basis of your depression.Some peoples gave some great advice others just thinks its cools to have a legit script to abuse.Your only hurting yourself in the end, I have been down this path many times and even with chronic pain the depression/anxiety are finally in control even without SSRI's but a great therapist who helped me find my way.

whatever floats your boat.
 
It's a legit question. People are going to take drugs to feel better no matter how bad people say it is. Taking prescription drugs obtained from a doctor is the safest way to go about abusing drugs, so questions regarding how to best go about that are legitimate.

The reason that people can get touchy about this issue is that people abusing pain medication is the reason that it's hard for many to get the meds they need, and they either have to settle for very poor substitutes, turn to street drugs or jump through a myriad of hoops for their doctors.

Of course, them attacking you isn't going to change the situation but I'm just trying to get you to see their point of view; pain medication is for pain, and people who are prescribed them and use them for other purposes have the potential to ruin it for others.

I am sorry you are in a bad state right now emotionally, I have been there and I know self-medication can seem to work wonders - in the end though it doesn't help. I know you say you don't care right now but hopefully one day you will and you will get the treatment for your issues that you need.

Peace.

At the risk of turning this thread into another "junky vs pain patient" thread, I'd like to discuss this point a bit.

It seems contrary to the general philosophy of this site to chastize those who choose to abuse prescription narcotics--ie, the Junkies. Also, it seems contrary to human sympathy to suggest that certain people shouldn't get the medicine they need--ie, the pain patients. Therefore, we should expect this site to have more of a "junkies AND pain patients VS doctors" vibe.

When we be objective about it, there really isn't too much of a difference between junkies and pain patients. Both have "unhappy" conditions that can be relieved by opiates. And what ever condition this may be, we could possibly argue that the junkies have it even worse than the pain patients; after all, they usually require a higher dose to rectify their unhappiness.

With all due respect: there are many, many addicts who are (or were) convinced they "have ridiculously high will power and can stop when [they] actually need to." I was certain I could quit drinking whenever I needed to. It took me over a decade, and a metric shitload of fuckups and missed opportunities, to actually succeed.

If you "just don't fucking care" at the moment, you're not likely to care a few months down the road. Those voids can get a lot bigger than you might expect, especially when you're filling it with an active addiction. Take it from somebody who spent years in one before crawling out.

I'm not telling you what to do or judging you for whatever choice you make. (I doubt you give a shit about what some words on the screen are saying to you anyway: I certainly wouldn't when I was swirling around the toilet). But I would advise you to think long and hard about where you're going. I've been there, and it's not a nice place.
 
I would go with OC. You have the option to peel the coating off and make it a 40mg roxicodone... Just my opinion.
