Did I come close to fatal OD?

I might have flew too close to the sun yesterday when taking oxy.

Mid last week I picked up my usual amount of oxy and hydrocodone and was using them at a rate of 20-30mg and 30-40mg respectively. My usual pattern of use is to work 8-10 hours starting at 730am-9 then when I get off at 6pm go home and take 4 10mg hydrocodone pills dissolved in my mouth and swallowed, followed by four to six plugged 5mg oxy ir's a few hours later. This was the norm for a few days until early yesterday morning.

It was a usual night to the one stated above. I got off at 430 so my doses were a little earlier, no big deal. I go about my business until I go to bed about 1230am. I lay in bed and after an hour my body still refuses to go to sleep, whatever I'll just keep trying.

Finally at 440am I say fuck it I have to get some sleep. I know at this point I only have 45mg of oxy left and since I've already dosed ~70mg of semi-potent opioids I'm going to need more than usual to get off. Using flawless reasoning I decide to use the whole 45mg plugged at once. If I used anything less than 20mg I wouldn't feel it at all so I figured why save enough for an ineffective dose?

I plug the oxy at 445am then go lay sit down and wait for the effects. At the 15 minute mark I noticed slight sedation and a small buzz coming on, good this is what I'm going for. I sit there for another 30 minutes or so and then blackout. I awaken at 655 (15 minutes before work) slouched in my chair with faint breathing, feeling extremely nauseous and dehydrated. After I come to and find my glasses I sprint to the bathroom and dry heave a couple times. I have a throbbing headache for a couple hours and feel off the rest of the day.

Was I near death at this point?
 
I don't know if I'd say you were near death but it does sound like you overdid it a bit. Too much ops will make you nod hence the blackout and too much can cause respiratory depression hence the breathing. I would think if it were an OD and you were near death then maybe you wouldn't have woken up and stopped breathing completely. Be careful. Next time you're having trouble sleeping grab the Benadryl instead of more opiates. If you already have a decent amount of opiates on board then the Benadryl should potentiate the opiates making you more drowsy and likely able to sleep.
 
I thought I canceled that post but yes dph makes me feel extremely groggy in the morning and sometimes unable to wake up. I use it sometimes but usually end up regretting it, even in 25mg doses
 
I think you may have been close to a fatal OD. I only say that because you lost 1 hour and 25 minutes. Anything could have happened during that time. It was good that you were sitting up, in case you started vomiting. Then again, you also could of aspirated into your lungs. Thankfully you had a decent tolerance. More opiates or less tolerance could have done you in. I’m happy that you pulled through.
