Opioids Could I have done too much oxycodone?

The last few days, I've done about 6 30mg oxycodones a day. I've had no real problems in terms of feeling like I did too much. Today, I did 7 (for a total of 210 mg over about 6 hours). And right now, I don't feel right. Might just be a panic attack, but I still feel short of breath and very nervous. I have a lot of experience with Oxy so this isn't just out of the blue. I've been doing it regularly (almost daily) for the last few months.

Could it possibly be that I did too much? Am I in any danger (in your opinions). Any help or advice or even just some positive support from people experienced with this stuff would be appreciated.

Basically, I did the first 5 pills earlier today (finished them about 5 hours ago) and just snorted 2 more about 20 mins ago. It really feels like this last 2 sent me over an edge.

Could the extra 30 mgs be enough to put me in danger of an overdose???

Thanks in advance for any replies.

What is your opiate tolerance? 210mg is quite a large dose. If you're having trouble breathing or you think you did too much, CALL 911. Nobody here can tell if you'll be okay or not.
 
Really tough to say...you know your body and what you're feeling better than anyone. Don't take warning signs lightly. That amount could certainly cause trouble in someone without a substantial tolerance...
 
How are you feeling? Have you got much tolerance? I've haven't really done oxy that much so I'm prob not the best to advise but i'll give you some positive support :)

Try drinking an energy drink or coffee if your worried about staying awake, keep yourself hydrated (but don't go too mad) and if you can try eating to soak up the oxy.
 
And yes as others have said call an ambulance if you are worried and if you have any friends / family that can look after you give them a call too
 
If you've done 6 pills a day for the last few days, then taking 7 today will most definitely not be too much. I seriously doubt you should worry about an overdose. I think you are in no danger at all from an oxy overdose :)
 
I'm breathing...I'm just feeling like it's a little "tight". But I've felt this "tightness" before during panic attacks, which is why I'm unsure if I should be concerned or not.

My usual daily amount (for the last few weeks) has been 150-180mg. Usually the first 90-120mgs within a short amount of time followed by another 30-60 a few hours later. So I do have a very high tolerance and have had one for a long time.

Basically, I can handle 150-180mg within this time window without any problems and have done it quite a bit. But I did an extra 30 today and just feel very anxious. I have a history of panic attacks so that's why I'm thinking that's the problem, however since I did a little more today than I usually do I started getting paranoid.

I'm not sleepy or feeling like i'm going to lose consciousness. The breathing isn't SUPER bad, it's just enough for me to notice and cause me to get worried. But like said, I have a history of making small things into big things and bringing on panic attacks. I'll never understand why I keep doing drugs when I spend so much time worrying about if I did too much. I guess I'm just trying to avoid the inevitable cold turkey withdrawals I'll have to go through so i keep doing it.

If someone has a regular daily habit of 150-180mgs of oxycodone, would they be in considerable danger if they upped that another 30mgs?

Try doing something like taking a walk to help stimulate your breathing a little bit, that's not a definite way to ward of an overdose, but it may help. Still, I'd pay close attention and if you feel the SOB and begin nodding out, getting help might be the best option.
 
It sounds like your fine to me. 30mg isn't really a huge leap up if you have some tolerance. 'Tightness' is prob due to you being a bit worried which is understandable.

Try watching some TV or something and have a joint if you have any. Try relaxing for 20-30 mins and then see how you feel :)

ro0ga is making some really good points too if you think your breathing is not too bad than try relaxing - if it's really bothereing you maybe go for a walk or something. Get some help if your super worried.
 
Thanks all...I'm feeling a bit better and am now pretty sure it was just a panic attack. Damn I hate those (the panic attacks!!!). Thanks for all the responses, I'm sure they had something to do with me feeling better and getting me out of the cycle of anxiety. Much appreciated. I really need to just bit the bullet and go through the withdrawals...I rarely even have fun on this shit anymore. I just keep doing it to avoid the dopesickness and every once in a while catch a nod.

Thanks again...besides the vast amount of information on this site, the support one can get is a great thing as well.

No worries, anytime :) My friend had a panic attack in a club once and I looked after her, nasty things! Sounds like a good time to quit to me, I had the same thing on GBL.. when it stops being 'fun' then it's time to stop (for a while anyways haha ;))

Right I'm off to bed, take care of yourself.

i dont feel you are in any danger my man..........i too am in the same boat as i have a tolerance of about 150-180 mgs per day although i usually spread it out over the day if i could score early enough but regardless i do a thirty about a couple hours later do another so on and so forth maybe two at once but i dont think you are in any danger cause there were many times i would do 240-300 mgs if i could afford it that day and if i wanted to without overdosing.......i did snort them btw and i am 6 3 160 lbs 21 year old male
 
I used to ruin many highs by panicking about OD'ing, but that was mainly when I took anything w/APAP. I knew I needed help (rock bottom) when I was willing to risk my life for a high by ingesting 11g of the nasty shit in less than 12 hours at work because all I had access to were Vic 5/500's.

The thought pops in your head and has a rapid snowball effect once it plants that seed. If anything, it's good if you feel the guilt - the more frequent they are it, the closer you are to quitting :)

What you described is the same thing that happens to me when I do too much Oxy. For some reason, unlike deisel, it effects me that same way. (feels like panic attack). I would get freaky and walk around trying to figure out how to make it stop. Sweat like a racehorse and be all clammy and freaked out. I think it's just how that shite works at high levels. Very weird and glad you're doing ok now. It's happened to me a few times now and truely sucks. The key is to let it pass and not do any more for while, since that's the first thing I did when it first happened. Just made it worse. Hate that feeling!

Since its been well over 12 hours and your fine, I don't think this needs to stay open. If anyone has a reason this should be reopened, feel free to PM me.
