so im prescribed oxycodone 10mg tabs(no tylenol shit) for two really bad herniated disc and a really bad sciatica. some times i take the oxy to get high(not often maybe once or twice a week). i have been doing this on and off for the last 6 months. but since i started it has taken 50mg to get a good buzz or high. from a friend i have talked to he says 50mg is a pretty large amount. thoughts?
 
Thats like the beginning amount for starting an addicting I would say, if that was dosed daily. If you keep at it you will be up to 100mg before you know it, and it just keep going up my dude.

But for your sake keep your use how you have been; 1x/2x per week at max should really help w/ tolerance nd addiction.

and to directly answer your question, doses are all relative to the person who is taking it.. For me I would not even feel that 50mg, if might keep me from WD for a couple hours, but I take at least 120mg methadone a day, so my tolerance to opiates is stupid. But if that dose give you a good high, there there you have it, it must be a higher-ish dose for you.
 
He's right it only gets worse I went from being high in 20mgs a day to needing 500 just to get by without being sick.
 
Tolerance is a real bitch!! as said above, thats your problem. Plus Oxys only last a couple hours, so they are not that great imo, definitely not worth what they were selling for on the street last time I looked.

You an either take a break and get the tolerance lowered, or upgrade to something stronger, the little light blue roxi 30s maybe, its still oxycodone, but more mg per pill, Opana is a good one, if you can find them and afford to get high off them every day.
 
It's called tolerance. Sucks. If you keep going like this, that 50mg's will turn into 100, and on and on. In the grand scheme of oxy habits.. 50mg's is nothing. People are scripted way more than that just for pain, let alone using it for recreational purposes.
 
well im prescribed 4 10mg tabs aday for pain. but unless im truly having a bad day i don't take more than 2 tabs. but the first time i tried to get high with oxy it took 50mg(that was almost a year ago). so im not sure if it truly is tolerance. also not to sound like a true asshole or dumb ass, but i would not classify myself as addicted(i know what your all thinking from this statement, denial), but as i just said i started this almost a year ago and and i have gone almost a month in one instance and never felt the signs of withdraw, so would you say addiction has set in?
 
Only you can answer that question my friend but just a piece if my mind if you need to ask yourself or make excuses then it usually means you are addicted.
 
well im 99% sure i dont have a addiction yet, but it is possible i am. i have not had oxy in over four days and again no withdraw is noticeable.
 
but again i dont want to sound cocky or like a total ass. the reason why i am here is more or less to ask experienced people. that is why i ask question and make comments on certain stuff

I don't think you sound like an ass. All I can say is that most addicts start out feeling this way, so be careful.

Anyway, if you notice that 50mg is not enough to get high, take a longer break between your recreational doses. Just don't raise your dose and you'll likely be alright for a while. Higher doses are harder to manage on the addiction/dependency front.
 
Needing more to get off is the first sign of dependence. The absence of illness doesnt mean your body has no tolerance, it just means you dont take enough to cause it (yet). Id space my doses a bit more for awhile if I were you, or even substitute it with hash or a strong benzo or something. A full week off between 50 mg doses would be much easier in the tolerance area and youd get higher when you do dose..

Just because you may not be physically dependent (yet), does not mean you're not addicted. There is mental addiction (honestly, this is the most difficult part and the reason why it's so hard to get clean for people) and then there's physical addiction.

But maybe you're right, man. Who knows. I've just heard this story and those same words thousands of times before, so maybe I'm a little jaded because it always ends up the same way. Either way, good luck.
 
I don't want to preach to you but I too have 2 pretty badly herniated spinal discs.

I enjoyed the opiates and ended up consuming more and more of them, chasing the dose to chase the high... and now 5 months later I'm in awful, awful pain (hand on heart I cried in bed tonight because of it) and it's my own fault because I didn't follow the anaesthetist's pain management plan.

They wont increase my opiates, and in fact have just decreased them due to hyperanalgesia. I'm left with Dosulepin that makes me drowsy, Naproxen that's not worth taking as it upsets my stomach, and a bit of Methocarbamol...

Just please take this as a warning that I was in your shoes, and like you, I played the system to get a quick high. And now the joke's on me because I didn't follow the pain management advice.

I know you'll most probably scroll past this and ignore it but just think about your pain in the long term. Sure it's fun to start with, but the more you take, the less options you have, and the more pain you'll be in for the long run. We're not talking about a fractured arm that'll repair in a month or two. We're talking herniated spinal discs. The possibility of life-long pain. And you're going to need to manage that pain long-term...

I know what Blue Lighter's are like with taking advice on board, or not, as is the situation in most cases. So just watch what you take, monitor yourself, and the moment you start to get cravings or lose that will power or self control. Address it. And address it properly. There's a difference between mental addiction and physical dependence. The addiction comes first, so beware of the signs before the symptoms of physical dependence kick in.

Best of luck with you spine and sciatica, it's a bitch. *hugs*

Great post. That is the biggest warning pain patients should get, and one of the main things I tell people who are thinking about going out and doing something as crazy as doing heroin because of their pain. Same goes for taking more and more of what you are scripted to achieve a high or kill more of your pain.

It'll work in the short term, yeah.. but soon your tolerance will skyrocket, and even large doses of scripted pain killers won't do shit. The docs wont just keep giving you stronger shit and more pills, so you'll be stuck with a script that does nothing for you now because you abused it, have a massive tolerance/dependency, and be in brutal pain. Talk about taking your situation and making it 100x worse.
