I might inject Oxycodone for the first time tomorrow.

[Mykonos]

I have a short explanation, and my questions will follow.




My tolerance is up to 120mg at a time. I get Roxy 30's and it takes me around 4 at this point, even though I don't ever take them more than once or (very rarely) twice a week. I have considered shooting them before, because I really don't get sick when I don't take them, most of my addiction is mental. I get bored, and just want to get high.

Anyway, so I know a couple of people who shoot and they tell me that it's better for someone with high tolerance, because you only need half of what you normally would. Which brings me to my first question, is this true? If I normally sniff 120mg, how many mg would I need to inject to get the same effects?

Moving on, I also don't know where to get needles around here. I live in Pasco County, FL, and not even our local health department offers clean needles. I called a pharmacy the other night, and the guy told me that he can only sell them to me if I have a script, which I kind of sensed was total bullshit, and that he ws just being a dick about it.


Now, I know it's irresponsible and I'm not supposed to do it and whatnot, but this is a choice I've been researching and considering from quite some time, but I wanted to get answers from people with experience.

So, in summary, my questions are:
1. Like before, how many mg should I use?
2. Will this effect my tolerance worse than sniffing? I.E. If I shoot this week, and try to snort a week from now, will I need alot more than normal? I understand this is how alot of people get addicted, but like I said, I really don't do them more than once every seven days, mostly because I can't afford it right now.
3. Where can I get clean needles? If anyone is in my state that knows, or can tell me whether it varies by county, I'd appreciate it.



Thanks in advance for any info. If I wasn't clear on anything, let me know, and I'll fix it.

Bump?

 

[nickeldick]

don't do it man, its opens up a big ass black hole that you might not escape from.... . please really consider if it is worth it to you because sure, the rush will be awesome but also short lived, while if you eat or snort them the high might be more mellow, but will last twice as long and won't double your tolerance every week or less... if your already snorting 120 mg, it wont be long before your banging up double that and try withdrawing from that... think about it....

 

[nickeldick]

double post sorry


use the search engine... all your questions can be found here quite easily

 

[BadHabbit]

oh man, let me say a couple things... First If you are going to IV roxis get a micron filter, second any pharmacy that has needles could possibly sell them to you, it depends on the pharmacy and tech working in it.... but if you are going to use a micron filter, which i strongly recommend you can buy your gear or works from the same online supplier most of the time... but Lets say you take a 2 or 3 weeks break and if you really must get high smoke weed if you do so or take something like a benzo or something else to substitute for your opiate needs... then youll be much better off then injecting for a couple of weeks and actully bringing your tolerance up! if the whole point of this thread is to use less then obviously you just need to do the common sense thing and A use less often and B take some time off from using... even when you are an IV user you have to take time off, because eventually your tolerance will be so high you wont be able to get high just well and having to put something in your arm to get well sucks trust me I know from personal exp... IMHO DONT START IV'ING just take a good break and try again.... IV drug use should be a last resort IMHO.
peace hippie

dont do it.

oral oxy has like 85% percent oral bioavailability, you'd still have to use almost the same amount. which would be alot binders.

 

[TRPPNASS_DSCOMONKE]

no point in shooting. oral bio is so high. dont shoot pills.

 

[Obyron]

I'd implore you not to IV pills. Read some posts here from people who have done it and have all kinds of vein scarring, not to mention particulate matter build-up that could cause health trouble later. Please prepare properly with micron filters if you are even going to consider this. I cannot advise you enough against you, but you're your own person. Instead you might consider tapering back your use and weening yourself down to a more reasonable dose so that your pills can affect you the way they used to.

The fact that your tolerance is to the point that you're considering shooting up should be a warning flag to you about your infatuation with this chemical. I'm not saying you're an addict, but I'm asking you to do some soul searching before you make this step.

OP I know how you feel...I live in FL too around your area and you do need a script. Luckily I have a buddy to has a script because he "used?" to have diabetes. I would drive him to the pharmacy, and he'd pick up a couple bags of syringes for me. Oddly he is only allowed to get 1 bag at a time, but the pharmacist is cool and lets him buy more than one bag.

 

[methadonian]

First of all, I would highly advise against shooting. But if you must I would start at half the dose that you use normally. Your tollerance will increase exponentially, I mean it will really skyrocket. Also it is potentially dangerous. I know a guy who was booting roxys and almost had to have his arm amputated because he was cold shaking them and got an infection.

 

[AdOgG0911]

Since you said you are not a daily user and don't get dopesick when you quit I cannot advise you strongly enough to not start IVing pills. Not only is this dangerous for your health but it will almost certainly turn your casual drug use into a full blown addiction with IV drug use. Increased tolerance always comes with continued usage, its a fact of life. Rather than start IVing I'd suggest you take a drug holiday and not use for a month or so and see where your tolerance goes. You can use other drugs, just stay off opiates.

try eating ur 4-5 roxies at a time, ull get more outta it.
u ever hear of bioavalibility?

snorting (insulflated) oxycodone is around- 40-70%

orally taking oxycodone is- 60-87%

rectally taking it- 95-98%

IV-100% DUHHH

dont go and start shootin up, ull end up a loser man.

try eatin it or rectally takin it, theres many threads on BL about Bioavalibility and rectal administration.

i myself have only takin oxy orally and thru the nose... if i ever even think about shooting up im just gonna try it rectally which i probably wont even get to.

 

[Obyron]

Remember to crush up the pill and dissolve it in water before plugging...

 

[smokeymcpot42088]

^not everyone who shoots up is a loser for the record. Some of us just started recently. (zinggg)

if you dont get dopesick you should not even be considering IV. my opinion only.

 

[Darkprogramer]

yea, I live in california and its the same here with trying to get needles.
but, most states that are like this have several programs called clean needle
exchange. so thats where I get mine. they are free and no stupid pharmacy
to hassle with. lol

 

[Darkprogramer]

I do have a question. I usually use a cotton as a filter. are the micro filters a lot better?
I done a search for micron filters and there are many different types, like coffee filters
water filters ect. can someone explain exactly witch ones to get ?

Thanks

 

[mmmCHRISx]

There ALOT better, DEFINETLY NEED ONE if you are shooting pills.

They just go on the end of your syringe and when you draw up the liquid it filters, pop the needles on and shoot away.

and again, if you are shooting oxy or other pills, you need one.

 

[Coreyjoe]

With a micron filter, do you put it in the syringe itself, or in the spoon like a would the cotton?

 

[Darkprogramer]

Well, I found the micron filters everyone has been harping about.
However there are a few problems.
One- they are very, very expensive. like wow
Two- there are a lot of different types of micron filters that are made for using with a syring
and for the most part I did not understand the chemistry language enough to be sure I was
getting the correct one.
No wonder people mostly use the cotton instead. Can anyone offer any insight/help on this.
exactly witch filter is supposed to be used and are they supposed to be that expensive?

Thanks
Your friend,

I have a short explanation, and my questions will follow.




My tolerance is up to 120mg at a time. I get Roxy 30's and it takes me around 4 at this point, even though I don't ever take them more than once or (very rarely) twice a week. I have considered shooting them before, because I really don't get sick when I don't take them, most of my addiction is mental. I get bored, and just want to get high.

Try plugging. Srsly.

Anyway, so I know a couple of people who shoot and they tell me that it's better for someone with high tolerance, because you only need half of what you normally would. Which brings me to my first question, is this true? If I normally sniff 120mg, how many mg would I need to inject to get the same effects?

This is not true. You get a rush with IV oxycodone, but the stuff is incredibly bioavailable orally.

From Wikipedia:

Oxycodone can be administered orally, intranasally, via intravenous/intramuscular/subcutaneous injection or rectally. The bioavailability of oral administration averages 60–87%, with rectal administration yielding the same results.

Oxycodone is approximately 1.5–2 times as potent as morphine when administered orally.[29][30] However, 10–15 mg of oxycodone produces an analgesic affect similar to 10 mg of morphine when administered intramuscularly. Therefore, as a parenteral dose, morphine is approximately up to 50% more potent than oxycodone.

^
See, oxycodone isn't all that effective IV. It's much more effective orally. If you want more of a rush, try plugging. Or dissolving in your mouth - sublingual.

Moving on, I also don't know where to get needles around here. I live in Pasco County, FL, and not even our local health department offers clean needles. I called a pharmacy the other night, and the guy told me that he can only sell them to me if I have a script, which I kind of sensed was total bullshit, and that he ws just being a dick about it.

Order them online. They're dirt cheap, and you can probably sell them for a profit to your IV using associates. Clean needles are important to have around if you are going to inject. Get some now, even if you aren't going to shoot up, just in case. It sounds like it's risky not to.

1. Like before, how many mg should I use?

Try 30mg first, then another 30mg if that's not enough, then another 30mg if that's not enough, etc. 30mg at a time sounds fairly safe doesn't it?

2. Will this effect my tolerance worse than sniffing? I.E. If I shoot this week, and try to snort a week from now, will I need alot more than normal? I understand this is how alot of people get addicted, but like I said, I really don't do them more than once every seven days, mostly because I can't afford it right now.

Injection probably increases tolerance faster. You're more likely to shoot up again before the first dose wears off completely because the rush feels so nice.

3. Where can I get clean needles? If anyone is in my state that knows, or can tell me whether it varies by county, I'd appreciate it.

Online, seriously. Go buy a prepaid Visa at the pharmacy if you don't have a credit card. It's safe to order needles to your house.
