So decided today would be a good day to relax and for the most part check out of life for a bit. I have taken oxycontin 190mg about 3hrs ago chewed up. I have been taking oxy daily for about 2yrs (60-120mg )with a break here and there, Decided it was not enough since I am not even nodding.... debated on taking more oxy but wondering if i havent hit that line where I really dont get much return from taking more oxy. So I was thinking about just adding one soma to the mix. On 80mg I wouldn't give it a second thought and take it... but edging up on 200mg I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crossing some hard set line of never do. Anyways hoping for a quick response as the day is ticking away.
 
How often do you take SOMA?

Generally, I'll admit, it's a really bad idea. They're both going to cause respiratory depression. Your tolerance is pretty high, but if you do decide to take it, start very small and try not to be alone.
 
Yeah, I dunno, adding SOMA sounds like a particularly bad idea when you're already a higher-than-usual dose of oxycodone for you. Soma has the potential to not only add to the resp. depression on its own as wez said, but potentiate the oxy quite a bit. Personally I wouldn't and if you do I sure as shit second having a sitter. I think you'd be better off taking a first gen anthistamine or something if these are OPs and thus likely to last a number of hours longer.

You're the only one who really knows your body, your tolerance, and your experience level. Depending on all of those things you could be fine. From a relatively objective standpoint, though, it's not a good plan.
 
I havent taken soma in over a week but usually I take it every couple of days 1-3 pills. I have no sitter. This is careless on my part but a trip to the ER for an OD is not an option so would much rather die than deal with everything else that would come after that visit. No this isn't being emo or whatever its just being straight forward... I already have figured out this road leads to one thing if I keep going down it so its not a matter of if.. its more of a when... I just try not to do anything too stupid to hasten the when. With two people signing off saying its a bad idea (which I already thought it might be which is why I asked) I wont take it. Grabbed a 40mg oxy to chew on for a bit. Current o2 it 98-99 and pulse is 72. I think I will stick to one substance today and stop when the o2 starts bouncing around 96.
 
Shame the state I live in its next to impossible to have a shot of Narcan sitting around in the house for safety. For most days like this I wouldn't have a sitter because they would call the medics.
 
@wezface After I grabbed the 40 I decided to cut it in half so hopefully 20mg is not too much but seems fairly safe since vitals are solid at the moment (figure I can always take more... cant really take less). If they were hanging close to 97 I would side with the risky side but as of now body is showing no signs of even respiratory depression. If I am missing something as to how the OD happens please fill me in.

Current understanding is if you're taking small steps up (which I consider 20mg of ER a small step even though I chew it up) that your vitals start dropping before falling out. So how I would expect thing to go is something like my O2 drops below 95 which I would call that resp depr and vomit what you have if you can... at around 90 I would think issues might start coming from it especially if it dropped from a solid 98 to low 90s fast. That might be the time to decide if I needed to get a sitter over here asap or take a nap.
 
If you're unsure don't do it I guess. I've been in those situations and added more when I was on the fence about it and most often regretted increasing my consumption after the fact. Sometimes the nodd would just come later, back when I even had nodds.
 
Yeah the nods are getting to be rare... usual nod is I lay down and I actually fall asleep instead of tossing and turning for an hour before I fall asleep.... oh well fairly failed attempt at enjoying the day and now its time to get on with responsibilities.

Let us know if your ticker is still ticking. I can take up to 140mg of Opana a day at times, but I never, ever mix anything with them because I'd like to enjoy many more days.

Soma + opiates can equal death at times. Be careful.
 
How many more dope days I will live is unknown. Most are not so enjoyable just days that went by way too fast while the next days cramping and flashes of rage. Will admit the thing that let's me tolerate life with how inconsistent or expensive it is runs me down emotionally eventually.
