oxycodone dosage

i think some harm reduction advice would go wellin here-

start with only half of what people tell you to take; being new to the drug will mean that you are probably going to get a reaction much greater than seaoned users- you yourself said you have a low opiate tolerance above.

If your going to take it than do so with friends or at least tell someone you know as if you OD on your own that would be not very nice for you or people around you at least if you have people around you than a ambulance has a chance of getting some narcan into you should this happen.

Oxycodone would be prescribed for pain management right? if so than overusing your prescription could lead to you gaining a tolerance where you have to go up on your regular pain meds- if it is long term pain you will be doing yourself an injustice with this trust me- i have worked with people who have comprmised the possibility of pain managment due to opiate prescription abuse- lots of pain and having to transfer onto methadone and dose at a public clinic daily. which in itself means you would have to travel every day
 
I've been enjoying the oxys lately - some nights having just 10mg orally and other nights having 20mg orally - but only every other night.
However, I've been waking up with really bad headaches every morning for the past week - even the morning after I didn't have any oxy.
Does oxy give you some sort of hangover?
 
it would seem youre starting to develop a physical tolerance to the oxycodone and are experiencing some minor physical withdrawals. how long have you been using the oxy again? is the headache the only bad symptoms youre experiencing upon waking up?
 
i thought it might have been slight withdrawal symptoms.
been using the oxy for around 4 weeks - 2 weeks for legit pain reasons and around 2 weeks for fun but like i said only every 2 or 3 nights.
the headaches and an inability to sleep in anymore are the only symptoms I've noticed. I've been drinking a lot of water during the day and taking 2 nurofen+ and the headache will usually go away by night time but then I'll wake up again the next day with a splitting headache.

I guess I should just lay off the oxys for a bit?
 
sounds like a good idea if you want to avoid furthering physical dependency:) i cant see your symptoms getting any worse or even lasting any longer than maybe 2 or 3 days after your last dose so cold turkey it for sure. you dont need a taper thats for sure.
 
Shouldnt this be in OD or BDD?

15mg used to do me pretty nice with no tolerance. Any more than that and I would get anxiety. Opiates affect me oddly though. Morphine is totally relaxing for me and makes me nod, but oxy only makes me nod in doses that exceed the levels that produce an edgy rush.

Oxy is a good daytime opiate. It would probably be good with E, if I were still into that.

Nurofen+ contains codeine, which is satisfying your physical dependency, which is stopping the headaches etc. Definitely sounds like a minor physical dependence to me, stop while it's easy! Also don't use any Nurofen+ or any other OTC med which contains codeine. Just some regular Panadol for the headaches, some Loperamide (Imodium) if you get the diarrhea, and maybe an OTC antihistamine like Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) to help with the sleep.

That being said, with such a low level of dependence the withdrawals aren't going to be that severe, so you may not need any of the things I've mentioned.
 
Although now it takes me 250-300mg+ to get a decent high but when I started I could feel 5mg, be a little high off 10mg, nods start around 15mg and im all fucked up by 20mg.

But tolerance grows very fast, im on methadone now so I dont use but at the end of my last stint I could easily do 300mg in a shot with a few xanax's on top of that. pretty bad hey.

Just take it easy with oxy, theyre like cigarretes, you wonder how you could get addicted to them then before you know it BAM your dependant and in need of treatment either that or your willing to sell yourself, steal and do plenty of illegal things just to get that high.

Good luck matey, I know people who do oxy occassionally so its possible.
 
i want to second what others have said about the addictive nature of this drug. Nothing I have taken before has led me to want to redose more or do everyday than oxy. I started off like you, taking 10mg and getting a really nice high off that. However, I would always redose reguarly.
Thankfully, I have stopped taking it (supply ran out). i was getting the 80mg TR tablets (I'd crush them and swallow them), and would generally dose in the vacinity of 25-30mg each time and redose every hour or so. Over the course of a day I could easily go through 100mg+. This is nothing to be proud of and the tolerance developed very quickly. Around this level the nausousness and itching were terrible.

I also experienced mild withdrawal symptoms: headaches, strong cravings, running nose, sore throat, shakes, no energy.

I warn you to keep your oxy use to a minimum. Sure the euphoria is beautiful, but tolerance and dependence are very easily obtained.
 
I'm assuming you only have a packet left or something, if you have a supply its time to stop now or you are setting yourself up to be a full time junkie.

I'm not exaggerating, most users start as you do thinking its nice once and a while, however before you know it you'll be using 40-50mg to feel normal, then when you run out you'll be feeling awful for a week and probably try and source something stronger.
 
Oxy seems to be one of the rare drugs where oral dosing is the best possible route (except for IV I suppose, if you can deal with IVing pills).

Snorting works, but the bioavailability is lower, the pills are a bitch to crush and they don't absorb well at all (I'll end up with chunks of it stuck in my nose and throat for hours afterwards).
 
thanks everyone for all the advice

I've only got half a box left that I was prescribed and after that is gone I have no way of sourcing them so I can't see myself getting addicted to them. They were fun while it lasted and I can see how very easily people do get addicted to them but.

the minor withdrawals have pretty much subsided so all's good!

Agreed and glad to hear! I'm happy you managed to have fun whilst not getting addicted, but let this be a reminder if you ever do get a stable source and decide to dabble once again.

oral oxy really is the best way to take it because of the BA. sure you squeeze maybe 10% extra out of booting it but you lose the majority of the high all for a sub-par rush. IV oxy is worthless. its like the crack version of IV opiates, much the same as dilaudid
 
if youre inexperienced with opiates and benzos then i would avoid dosing the oxy with the xanax until youre at least a little more experienced with them both. both drugs cause a lot of CNS depression and dosed together only lower the threshold of ODing.

if you do decide to mix the two together then start with an absolute minimal dose of both drugs. halving your normal dose of each is generally a safe starting point.
 
Personally, I'd recommend starting with 2, you can always take more later if you don't feel you're high enough, and the line between 'feels awesome' and 'vomitting for 3 or 4 hours' is fairly thin. On that note, having some phenergan (promethazine) on hand is a good idea, half a pill completely kills opiate nausea, although it increases the sedation somewhat.

I've never combined it with benzos, but I'd recommend being cautious with the doseage, since both of them are powerful CNS depressants. Anecdotal reports suggest that it will greatly increase the sedation, but dull the actual euphoria.
 
Ive never noticed any withdrawal effects. Been doin oxys on and off for a long time usually 2 times a week. If its ur 1st time stick to max 10mg. U can always up the dosage later on. I usually do alprazolams with codeine but dont mix 2 substances until u get the feel of one and know u can handle it.
