Did I hurt myself by doing this?

I have been using 3 teaspoon of kratom a long time. The past 2 days instead of taking 3 teaspoons i used 20mg of oxycodone and 2 teaspoon of kratom.


Did I hurt myself? or will something like this so small not really do much? need advice. I have no more oxy. this is the first time I ever did it. It was okay i did not feel great or have a blast. It felt like kratom I just did not need kratom as much. It was nothing special.


I am sure I would have had a blast if i took 40 oxycodone in one day though. That will never happen I have no access to more.
 
Oxy does not contain Paracetamol/Acetaminophen/Tylenol. Vicodin/Percocet does.

You didn't hurt yourself. You didn't have a blast but was it painful or unpleasant? It just sounds like you were expecting a lot from oxy and are disappointed.
 
yeah oxycodone is its own compound; it's acetaminophen/paracetemol you have to watch out for with your liver; there's no way you did any damage with 20mg and kratom has not been shown to cause any liver issues so no worries. Next time do a bit of research so you don't worry yourself.

oxy is way better than kratom in terms of opiate effects but if you like kratom, they aren't the same really, they are sort of but it takes a while to appreciate opiates just as it does to appreciate kratom. So it's not your thing, 20mg with no real opiate tolerance should have done something, if not well just don't take opiates and you'll avoid plenty of issues. Kratom is cheaper if nothing else.
 
nono i mean did i up my tolerance and make myself an addict? I do have one more left I thought I only had 2.

Did you make yourself an addict?

People talk about psychological and physical addiction, so...
1) Psychologically: you didn't enjoy the oxycodone that much, therefore it seems unlikely that your psychological addiction to oxycodone/opioids in general is increased.
2) Physically: no. You didn't increase your physical addiction that much by dosing with 20 mg oxycodone for 2 days.

You have a very small opioid addiction from the long-term kratom usage, and this didn't change that.
 
it makes me not use kratom, is it possible now my kratom w/d will be over then and i can just function back to normal? DIdnt enjoy or get high but it took the kratom lethargy away i get when i dont use kratom. LIke just feel normal. Tommorrow I won't have any left.

Do you think it would be a good time to just quit the kratom then since my body has already been without it? IF i do take kratom with it i will get high. Even a small tiny dose.
 
last night really sucked it was not painful but my body was missing kratom to help it sleep, the oxy does not cover that part up it was impossible to sleep wow i did not take any kratom but it really sucked
not mental pain just that tossing turning feeling u get when you run out of gbl feeling whatever you call it.
 
will i ended up getting some type of hepatitis soon after i was started doing kratom daily, but im not sure what factor that plays into.

you should be fine though, i havent heard of many people getting hep from kratom.

Yeah, taking the oxy more or less just masked not taking the kartom initially, however kartom is active on many different receptors than oxy is, and it sounds like you finally hit the point where withdrawal set in. People tend to downplay it (likely since it's generally accepted as legal), but the symptoms from W/D can really be rather harsh.

Also bear in mind that the trouble with sleep could come from the fact that oxy boosts energy levels and provides a speedier high than most other drugs in its class. The best advice I can offer is to slowly taper down the amount of kartom you are taking day by day. Yes, there will likely be withdrawals, but that should help mitigate them to a large extent.
