How much oxymorphone is safe with little tolerance?

I've only been using 10 mg hydrocodone for the last 5 days, before that it was 30 mg a day for about 3 weeks. I've run into 20 mg oxymorphone pills. How much is safe for me take right now? I was thinking maybe 4 mg but I'm not sure. I'm a little worried I'll cut the pill unevenly. It seem like small amounts could make a huge difference.I might be an idiot but I'm actually pretty confused about oxymorphone. The bioavailability of different routes seems to be very different. The opoid comparison chart is useless to me because I don't know which route it's talking about.

i would sniff 2-3 mgs, crush the whole pill and make 10 even piles, then sniff one of those and wait 15-20 min
 
OP, definitely sniff it, here are the BA's

nasal bioavailabilty 43%
orals l10-20%
Rectal ~10%

Questions like this are impossible, some people have different natural tolerances, even for a first time it's hard to judge. Sniff a little, wait 10 or so minutes, do more if you aren't comfortable. If you work your way up in slow increments, you have nothing to worry about, and can slowly work your way into your perfect bliss.

Good luck.
 
Oxymorphone is a drug that is extremely potent and is meant for people who are very tolerant to opioids. I don't think people with no or little tolerance should be fucking around with it.

Bluelight is for harm reduction, so I suggest you not use such a potent narcotic opioid like oxymorphone if you only have a little tolerance to opioids.

I just measured out 1 mg worth of oxymorphone on my scale based on the total weigh of the pills and snorted it 2 hours ago. It seems to be equivalent to about 10-15mg of hydrocodone. I'll move on from there still with caution.

Just because a substance is more potent than others in the same class doesn't make it more dangerous as long as you have an accurate way to measure dose. It's the dose that's most important. I started this thread because I was being as cautious as possible. I think that fulfills harm reduction because I was going to take some no matter what.

Well I was just trying to keep ya safe man. Oxymorphone is a potent narcotic, moreso than hydromorphone and I've seen many OD and die on hydromorphone.

Just play it safe.

I can totally see where you're coming from though. I've seen drug users do extremely reckless things too. I'll always be cautious though, no high is worth dying for. I don't even like taking enough to nod because it's too risky for my taste.
 
A girl I know with a tolerance similar to yours od'd on oxymorphone. Respect the drug, also wait 10-15 minutes to redose. It takes a little bit. Also snort it or it's otherwise useless
 
Okay, I've had a ton of fun with oxymorphone the last 4 days but I'm waking up with worse withdrawal symptoms now than I had before. This is my 4th day of taking 6-7 mg. Is it possible to taper down using oxymophone to a point with negligible withdrawal?

I have 30 mg left. Could anybody suggest a schedule and a dose to come off of it? Maybe like .5 mg or something. I'm also thinking the shorter half life has something to do with me feeling more withdrawal in the morning. Since I wasn't taking it very long at all, I was thinking a rapid taper would most likely work.
