I have taken 60mg of oxycodone and now I am sweating a lot. This havent happen before. Am overdosing mildly as during last three days I have taken only one 20mg pill without crushing per day because I have been mostly sleeping because quitting caffeine cold turkey with over 1 gram per day use. Could it also bebecause of the quitting caffeine?
 
Actually sweating and hot flashes are common side effects of oxycodone, however upping your dose by 40 mg is quite stupid. What do you mean by mild od? Either you od or you don't. If you vomit Alot or get excessively tired and notice shallow breathing you should seek medical attention.

Exactly. It may indeed be a combination of the higher doses of oxycodone and caffeine withdrawal (although I haven't heard of excessive sweating as a symptom of caffeine withdrawal - it is possible, and excessive sweating is a symptom of opiate withdrawal).

I don't know what you mean by "mild OD" either but please take care of yourself, if you are in doubt, seek medical attention. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
 
It seems to get back to normal. Just checked my bodytemperature and it is ok. No feel of nausea and breathing is normal and I just the good feeling off high. Told my gf to check me if I am totally nodding and told the amount I took. I think I am in good hands as she is a nurse and not afraid to call ambulance if I lose my consciousness or my breathing gets too shallow. Also my pulse is normal.

I meant with mild OD the symptoms I have had before like vomiting or such. I do normally around 20-60 mg per day for pain management but within few last days I have done only one 20mg pill as I have slept so much because quitting caffeine.

I know that OD is serious and I always have someone around me when taking recreationally.
 
I did a few oc 40s last year and had a similar effect you described. The high was tere but I was confused, sweating, and wanted a nap. Breathing felt fine. I took my dog for like a 3 hour walk until it passed. Was really close to calling an ambulance. Prolly the closest I've cMe to actually oding. Not fun. Be safe. Smart having that nurse with you.
 
I think perspiration is a regular side effect from most opioids. It happens with methadone, it happens with morphine/heroin, it happens with hydromorphone, hydrocodone, and oxycodone. I've noticed it happen with a lot of the opioids I've done. It happens with codeine, especially in high doses where you itch so bad you feel like tearing your skin off. It's happened with Demerol too. It's usually not a lot and sometimes you barely notice it, but I've noticed it. If it's too much, then maybe you've taken a bigger dose than your body is used to (severe sweating is a sign of OD with opioids).

The only opioid that never made me sweat was propoxyphene.
 
Yeah man I'm high on hydros and oxy's.... I'm sweating a lot right now. It could also be because its hot in the house but honestly I know its from the pills. I wasn't sweating until after I dosed.

Last summer I was at my peak of oxycodone abuse and I was at around 90mg of oxycontin pills a day. And you know, that last summer was one of the hottest on record!~

So anyways one day I'm already sweating my balls off then all of a sudden (I was already sweating from the heat) I feel like my back is breaking out. I was sweating profusely during a nice oxy buzz. It felt all itchy and shit. I looked in the mirror the next day to a horrible discovery, dozens and dozens of zits on my back. It was fucking nasty. Next summer is just around the corner, and these dark scars are still on my back. They lack texture, but I don't know if this was caused by excessive oxycodone use? Or just some skin infection?

Hmm....never had breakouts of any sort of acne off opiates.
 
^I've noticed that since I've been using buprenorphine for maintainable my acne has increased a small amount. That could be related to other factors, or the various other drugs I've been doing as well.
