I going to start off by saying I have searched the Internet up and down for answers to some of these questions with mixed luck and sometimes no luck at all. It seems I may be wording them incorrectly when performing searches or maybe I am just touching on something that I don't understand the answers to. The reason I finally decided to make an account here and give it a shot is because I have poured over some of the posts on this site and find that is is generally filled with quite knowledgable people with educated responses.
So before I get to the question I am not looking for medical advice and will take no responses as such. I am simply trying to educate myself further based on the experiences and knowledge from my peers.
I have been prescribed opiates (percocet 10/325 and oxy 20 mg) for quite some time now, I would say about two years due to back problems and a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. This started out fairly normal with a 5/325 every 8 hour dose , but it has moved up , in large part to me being addicted and wanting to be high , sometimes 30 mg Ir at once with an oxy thrown in for good measure. Small potatoes from some of the tolerances I have seen but nevertheless still is affecting me.
I have never drank on my pills , and on a hand full of occasions waited a solid 6 hours before taking a .5 mg Xanax to try and help with anxiety and a head crawling sensation I get with MS. I have always been quite diligent with making sure I keep myself in the best parameters I can for being a "safe" addict.
Before I list my questions I urge that I am honestly looking for good responses to continue keeping myself safe , and putting my worry at ease. I am not looking for a your doses are for rookies you'll be fine kinda thing. I still get a very nice buzz off three at once and sometimes get myself very freaked out that I have taken too much.
The questions I am seeking an answer to that I can not find:
What is the likelyhood that if I remain at or around my current dosing schedule , that taking my pills could just stop my heart or lead to an overdose and kill me?
If I take a dose of 30 mg Ir and it wears off and I take another 20 mg two hours later , is this the kind of thing that will kill me ,and should I wait the full 4 -6 hours before taking another dose?
Why am I still getting buzzed after 2 years on the pils at such low doses , when it seems people get up to the 200 mg range with ease?
What would I experience if I had taken too much? Such as what happens if I OD ... Do I just die .... Would I start throwing up and get sick first, would I pass out first , does my heart just stop , does my breathing just stop , do I nod hard and then never wake up? That is the question I most would like answered to the best of your abilities.... I am somewhat uneducated in these matters and while I have been on the drugs for a long time I still feel like I have a lot to learn and need to learn to continue using them safely.
I am a drug a drug addict , but take the pills prescribed by my doctor because life simply is too painful due to my conditions. W are currently working on shots in my spine and PT in order to get me to a point where I can come off the pills and lead a normal life. My goal is to be pill free by the end of summer.
