Opioids Snorting up to 20mg Opana IR a day

Hey all,

I have a question. I was trying to get into rehab clinics for a Vicodin (sometimes oxycodone) addiction. I detoxed myself the beginning of January but I was suffering from PAWS. The rehab clinics turned me down because I was on 6mg of Klonopin and I refused to do a rapid detox with those so I'm cutting back gradually and slowly and then I want to enter rehab. However, the depression and anxiety from not having painkillers was destroying my life. I could not function.

My friend gave me a supply of 5mg Opana IRs and said to take them to kill the edge off the anxiety but he said I had to snort them because of the bioavailability. So I crush up 5mg at a time, put them into 4 lines and snort them alternating nostrils. It feels great. I've been doing this about 4 times a day for the last week or so I'm snorting 20mg of Opana IR a day also taking 5mg of Klonopin (I made my first 1mg Klonopin cut about a week ago as well).

Now I've been reading that I'm lucky I'm alive right now. When I was taking the Vicodin back in December, the highest amount I took was 90mg. So I'm assuming my tolerance is very high. However, I've been reading on the forums that mixing benzos with Opana IR could just kill me in my sleep.

I'm 6'2" and weight about 215 lbs. Is it likely that I could die that easily? I think I'm tolerant to the Klonopin because it never worked well for my anxiety but I'm not 100% positive.

I'm reading about respitory failure and the power of Opanas now. I have about 25mg of Opana IRS left and I really want to use them up for the next couple of days before I go into detox and withdrawal again. I feel like I've been living my life, enjoying time with my friends (for the first time since I was addicted to Vicodin) but now it seems like I'm probably going to O/D. I'm actually afraid to fall asleep tonight.

It doesn't seem like I'd O/D though. They've been working fine!

I just crush a 5mg pill into fine powder, make them into 4 lines and snort alternating nostrils each time. Takes about 5-10 minutes to feel pretty darn good. I function fine, I don't feel "drunk", I can drive, everything feels fine besides itching late at night.

Should I maybe only do 5mg a day to finish them up or in your opinion do you think the 20mg (spread throughout the day) sounds safe? Should I stop now?

Please don't be judgmental. I just need the low-down.

I appreciate anyone giving me sound advice.
 
90mg of hydrocodone isn't alot and if the opanas and k-pins hasn't killed you yet its your decision wether the risk benefit ratio is ideal. do a little more opanas and maybe die or dont do anymore and not die your choice.. my good friend passed away from that mix and he was pretty experienced at what he did.... be smart and safe
 
20mg of Opana up the nose is equivalent to about 90-100mg morphine IV or like 120mg of Hydro or Oxy.
SO you've effectively raised your tolerance.
I would CT right now and use the remaining opanas in extremely small amounts to help bring you down through withdrawal. Good luck dude.
 
Lol, you don't have that 'high' of a tolerance, and if you're not sick throwing up, I don't see why you think you're going to overdose, that's ridiculous.
Just don't go overboard...
 
Opana is very smooth and I've come close to OD'ing on it a few times, it doesn't warn you by making you toss your shit like oxycodone.
 
As others have said, you're taking the equivalent of more than 90mg of hydrocodone now. You've just increased your tolerance and dependence, so this will not help you withdraw more easily.

Combining opioids and benzodiazepines is inherently risky, so please be careful.

How did you know you came close?

Thanks for all the other replies by the way.

Also, I've taken benzos with those high dosages of Vicodin or Oxycodone many times. 6mg of Klonopin of day and I've never had any feelings of ODing (around 8 months). I understand Opana much stronger but does it really make the combination that much more ky?

The opana has definietley masked withdrawal symptoms of my first cut. Obviously it's going to make everything worse in the long run but to see these opana go to waste seems foreign to me because of my addictive behavior. My mindset is not very healthy right now, but to feel that high again until these opana run out in my opinion is worth it. I have a close family member that is terminally ill and I can actually talk to them, be there for them and tell them my true sentiments, say the words "I love you" while I'm high. I can easily get more opanas but I know I have to stop soon. I don't want to die. That's why I'm asking if I'm REALLY playing russian roulette here. That may not make sense to a lot of people but like I said, I'm just a mess.

shit, let's recount some stories.
I fell asleep and left my oven on, and woke up to my roommate slapping me in the face - he had come home to the appt completely full of smoke and me passed out - I was barely breathing.
My ex-girlfriend told me that when I would nod off at her house I would stop breathing for like 1-2 minutes at a time sometimes, which is where you are just totally playing with fire.
And the best of course was when I was found in the back of a crashpad with a blue face, and got narcann'd.
Remember, i've never injected, and the closest I've come to dying is from snorting this.

fyi, i think all of these times I had combined various benzo's with the oxymorphone.

Nasally it is 4 times stronger than injected morphine, mg per mg. Keep that in mind.

How much would you snort in a day?
 
Little Worried, How long have you been taking Klonopin. Do you think that it may be contributing to your PAWS?? I know we are all different but it does get better over time. PAWS can vary to different degrees. I am lucky that I feel so much better off pain pills. Anyway, as you seen to know, taper from the Klonopin as slow as you can.

Good luck
 
It doesn't matter how much you snort in a day, it matters what your tolerance is.
anywhere from 10-60mg, though.


ALso, reading that edit of yours, I don't know what to tell you, it's hard to quit. Opana is the fucking cadillac of opiates, the best shit, better than oxy or H or even Dilaudid. It is a terrible withdrawal. Just be cool with it and taper down though.

Since April 2009, it could be but I never finished my first taper
 
Opana is my DoC, bud.. If you do too much, you WILL yack, and yack good. I don't know what you're talking about..

It's not like I have a 10mg IR as my avatar or anything. For me it was always super smooth, no itchies, no vomiting, no constipation.

It is obviously my DOC, and i've done tons.

But i'm not going to argue. If it makes you yack, it makes you yack. Everyone responds to drugs differently.

I'm not trying to argue, holmes. Opana lovers, UNITE! I'm just saying, when one does too many opiates, vomiting is a thing that happens. Being how oxymorphone is so strong, I've seen it happen hundreds of times. But, if you don't yack, that's great, it's never fun, lol.
I'm not a fan of the IR's though, really.. The high doesn't last long, but, then again, I don't slam. Railing a 40ER has me lit. Though I've been doing tons of Fentanyl lately, I might have to snag morphone tmrw. =D
 
My supply is almost gone and while I'm able to get more easily, I don't want to continue playing with fire. It's funny because I'd rather get high off of vicodins still, I have an easier time getting Opana IR for free. Does your tolerance ever go down? I'd imagine it would take years even after being on Opana for such a short amount of time. All in all, I'd love to get by life without relying on painkillers and I think that day will be coming up soon. So I'll be facing klonopin withdrawal, opiate withdrawal and I don't think I mentioned im stopping my cymbalta too. It was nice while it lasted but I don't think I could relapse with Opana knowing it could easily kill me with the amount of benzos I take. I simply cannot afford vicodin or percs and they probably won't work for me for a long time...or ever. I'm not 100% on that but that's what I'm assuming taking a drug like Opana does. It really was nice while it lasted though. I guess I have a very rough road ahead of me.

I think tomorrow will be my last rail. I'm going to try to make the best of it!
 
first off your friend is an idiot. why anyone would give you a STRONGER opiate for withdrawal is beyond me but whatever, you've already been doing it for this long. Depending on how long you've taken the klonopin is the bigger issue because the withdrawals from benzos are more dangerous. You need to taper your klonopin down to taking only 1-2 mgs at a time before entering rehab and STOP taking the opanas immediately. from my experience from using 20 mg opanas I feel that doing that at one time is better than heroin!!!!! that's just my experience.
 
I would say the Klonopin is a bigger issue simply because of the danger of withdrawal, but it sounds like the OP is working on bringing his usage of benzos down slowly, which is the right (and safer) thing to do, if you ask me.
 
Just don't Cold-Turkey from the K-Pins, as you probably know, you could have a fatal seizure from abrupt cessation of benzodiazapines.
I would C/T on the Opana RIGHT NOW. and use what you have left to bring you down when you just can't take the withdrawals anymore.
