Opioids appropriate dosage after oxycotin cola extraction

[halfoz]

I take 30mg of Oxycontin 2x/day - legally prescribed. Have been doing so for months.

I decided the use the cola cold water extraction method on one- eventually going to some- of the pills. My intent is to consume the extraction fluid orally.

i've been told by pain management doctors, especially when i had a dilaudid pump, oral oxy op 80mg 2x/day, and norco and percocet, that i had a naturally hgih opiod "resistance". prior to my accident i never dabble in opiods- i'm more of a speedy kind of guy by nature.

so, i was taking all these drugs and would appear lucid to everyone around me, but could see that my ability to write a coherent sentence had gone all to shit. totally not cool.

anywho, i eventually got down to just the oxy's, which were like a godsend to me (excepting the torturous withdrawals). So now i'm on 30mg Oxy 2x/day.

understanding that all bodies are different, and there's no way to tell, i want to have a 30mg pill cola extracted to be available for breakthrough pain.

i've already been to the ER once under the assumptiom that my Ambien state was an OD. No desire to do that again.

So bottom line, what do y'all think about the safe max first round experimental dosage could be with cola extracted oxy?

Thanks BL, over all these years, its been a trip

So your question is while on extended release 30mg of oxycodone take twice a day, how much instant release should you take for dealing with breakthrough pain.

This is really impossible for us to safely say. Just start low at like 5mg extra and work up every hour from there until you get where you want to be. You have to be even more cautious because the cola extraction may not be consistent and a poor one followed by a good one could be deadly. You should ask your doctor for IR opioids for breakthrough pain.

Good luck!

Yeah the cola extraction is pretty hit or miss from what I read, so if for some reason your first attempt it takes you a good amount to get where you want to be, it would be pretty dangerous and potentially harmful if your second attempt ended up being much more successful. So tread carefully, and go slowly by titrating your dose up slowly. This way you can gauge your dose properly and have a better chance of avoiding over doing it.
