How do I Nod on Hydrocodone?

I have six pills of hydrocodone. Each pill is 5 mg of hydro and 325 mg of acetaminophen. I'm basically new to opiates though I have done low doses a few times and never in consecutive days.

I want to take enough to nod out. I'd rather not feel nauseous but will do so if that is what is necessary to nod depending on the expected severity of the nausea.

I have even less experience with hydro than other opiates though my experience with oxycodone might be a guide. I once swallowed 20 mg of oxycodone (which were 325 mg of acetaminophen and 5 mg of oxy per pill) or 4 whole pills and then an hour later swallowed 10 mg of oxy crushed up. That is a total of 30 mg. I felt pretty high but felt I could take more. The only negative side effects were itchiness and difficulty sleeping. I hear oxy and hydro have different potencies.

So, how much hydrocodone should I swallow to nod out? Will it be necessary to crush any pills? If so, how much?

Thanks for any help.
 
Oxycodone and hydrocodone are actually almost equivalent when it comes to potency, the thing is most tend to agree oxy is more stimulating while hydrocodone is more sedating. I'd take the 30mg of hydro, if you're not nodding you can either eat more, smoke a cigarette, or take them when you've worked hard all day or whatever, it seems to feel better that way if you can hold off. You may want to look into potentiators, they make it so the nausea & itching, which I see you don't like,(in general) is reduced while either extending the duration or making it feel as if you've taken more than you have. Look into promethazine, tagamet, chlorpheniramine, hydroxyzine etc, the last three are all otc, if that helps. Just be careful

Thank you. I currently have no reason to doubt your advice but wish for more feedback just to be sure.

fatstep's advice is more or less the best you can receive. Start low and titarate up to prevent large nausea producing doses. No one is going to be able to tell you a specific dose that will cause you to nod out. As mentioned being tired will increase the likelihood of you beginning to pass out in euphoric bliss, this can also be increased by taking the potentiators mentioned. Also a sedating (OTC) anti-histimine will increase the likelihood of that sleepy tired feeling. This will also remove the histimine release associated with opioids, I.e. stop/mitigate itching.
