I hope this doesnt sound like a stupid question. I used to get 20mg, 30mg and 80mg oxycodones to snort. I got an excellent industrial strength buzz. Opiates energize me. For one, its the only time I can get my house clean, (Ive been known to move the fridge and clean the floor underneath, 12 hours after dosing). I would start with 20mg and maybe do another 10mg for the night (yes, light weight) Thats probably because I allowed myself once a week, sometimes twice. I havent been able to get any straight oxy in years. I am sure Im awash in a ocean of it, but since I dont personally know anyone since moving, I dont where to start. Thats a long way from copping anything in the bathrooms at Madison Square Garden during a Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd show (yes, Ive been around that long). It was a freakin supermarket. But I digress. These days the best I can do is percocets from the ER Ive had many trips to for silly things like razor knife sheet rocking injuries, rotator cuff and ACL injuries etc, or oral surgery, of which I have had a lot. The oxy buzz was almost like tripping, I could nod while walking my dogs, pure magic. Ive been chasing that high in the years since I could get straight oxy which I know intellectually is a fool's errand with only percocets, but old habits are Pavlovian and at best they just hibernate. Seems Im always chasing something that is only a memory - getting really high, women, friends I have lost. Blah, blah, blah.

Anyway
, my question is this: at what point after initially taking, say, 3, 4 or 5 percocets (5mg) is taking more just a waste? Like if I eat some at 8, Ive got the buzz by 9. If I took more at that point it would definitely be like I took the extras in the same original dose. But at some point taking more isnt the same as if I did them all at once and is just a waste. So generally speaking, roughly at what point does one hit the waste threshold? I ate some 5 hours ago; should more at this point prolong/potentiate the buzz I have now or would it just be a waste?
 
in my experience with hydro and oxy adding more will definitely prolong the buzz. you may not peak as high but taking about half of what you took originally should keep the buzz going for a few more hours.

I only recommend doing that once, for me redosing a second time is almost useless. all this being said redosing is the quickest way to build a tolerance IMO.
 
Yeah, re-dosing is retarded, but anyone who does opiates with any regularity would be lying if they said they didnt do it constantly. Hey, I do heroin, and I re-dose like 4 times a day, lol.
 
The more times you redose, and the less time in between doses, the less effective the drugs will be and the less you will feel it. Nobody can give you an exact figure of how many specific doses it takes before it's not effective anymore.. it's different for everyone.
 
^^ that is a bit extreme and ridiculous. I'm surprised you didn't just say ask captwin heroin since that seems to be your answer to most question regarding opiates. OP, as stated I would say redosing any more than once is a waste.
Just a friendly warning. the OP's question was already answered those things ruin lives and the OP's fallen in love with them.
Umm captain heroin??? When did I ever say that are you high? Or you got me mixed up with someone else? Oh well i dont take any offence from any kids who think they are tough cause they have their drug use under control at the moment. Did you not get your fix today AW poor baby.
Ah kids these days so tough in front of computer screens. I guess I haven't been doing heroin and opiates since age 15 I guess my use never had me living on the streets of skid row okay pal whatever you think I suppose you think being a junkie is cool the in thing to be doing too. You sound like a rocket scientist your going places kid
 
Lol yes Mr S I agree so those two posts are all you can find how long did it take you to find those hahaha why would I explain the steps to micron filtering when captain heroin has been nice enough to put pictures up on his very own mega thread he's the one who showed 75 percent of the people on here how to micron filter correctly am I supposed to waste time putting in pictures and step by step instructions when there is a mega thread with all of that and more. but I don't want to argue with you over the internet like a couple pussies okay let's just agree I got no time for you and you got no time for me all right I don't know what I ever did to you.

Lol why did that really piss you off when I told the guy captain heroin had a megathread on micron filtering? I mean i didnt even remember writing that a week or two ago but for some reason you did remember that and my name and got really pissed off. I'm just curious your acting like all I do is idolise captain heroin or sum thing cause I mentioned him in two posts when it was completely relevant to do so. I mean even if I did look up to him who cares whats wrong with that I mean he did kick his heroin and bupe addiction so that's pretty dam admirable he shows respect for people too unlike you and he simply knows more about micron filters than I do he can hook you up with online sources for filters in his mega thread and everything you need to know I only know where to buy them at the local drug store down the road from me and how to attach one to a syringe so for harm reduction purposes his thread would be the better choice to look at rather then me explaining how to use them

@trainspotter I am not a kid and I certainly do not have have my addiction under control. I'm battling with a 7 year heroin habit 4 years IV. I said what I said because the OP said she had moved house and didn't have a connect for buying tabs never mind heroin. Anyway never mind. Think what you want. EDIT: I just read you are 22, I am as well and have also been using since age 15.
You of all people should know then when a opiate lover or addict moves to a new place to escape the drugs hoping if they don't have any hook ups they will be fine but you can't run from it anymore its everywhere like a plauge man I know so many people who moved to escape drugs but ended up in the same boat not to long after they meet somebody at work who does pills or whatever happens. If aperson wants drugs they will get it and sometimes the drugs find them. And I don't care about how old you are you sound like a child still coming on here telling me I know nothing about drugs and whatnot so I don't think we have much in common besides drugs. If I'm wasting time on blue light then I'm helping someone not jumping into threads only to insult someone then search through every one of their posts to find two that mention captain heroins guide to micron filtering and proceed to ream him out I mean get a life if that's what your here for. You be a dick to me for no reason once then that's fine I got no time in the world for you then. I'm not gonna argue over who the bigger junkie is that's retarded. "Oh ya well I do more drugs than you so your a loser haha" Really? Please so childish. Don't bother writing back were starting to fill up the OP's thread with crap I hate when people get into random arguments on my threads I'm out have a good life and good luck to the OP remember show these drugs respect they are very powerful drugs don't forget that. peace.

Thats not a news flash to me.

Moving had nothing to do with drugs. I only use them when they do a driveby in my life. I admit, the way things have been going in my lately, maybe Im lucky I dont have regular oxy source. Im not hiding; no drugs have found me Ü


Redosing once ur high is a good way to raise ur tolerance. If ur high enjoy it. Redose when u aren't high.
;)

Excellent advice.

Ive been doing these drugs on and off (whenever they were/are available) since I was a teen ager. Since Im kinda obsessive, my self control for the most part is quite good.

I took a couple more. It was a waste. Some people never learn.
 
Agreed, Oxy is what got me started on heroin, When the pills got to expensive i switched to heroin due to the cheaper price and so i thought better high, I snorted for a couple of years and got the same up effect you get, but as i continued to snort and hear others talk about what a "waste" it is i began injecting. I have been injecting for about 2.5 years now and it is the hardest thing to get away from that i have ever experienced. It is constantly on my mind right now i cannot afford a daily habit (thankfully)cuz i am currently unemployed and have never stole or have done anything low that many junkies do to get a fix. But i am always seeking extra work to get more money and cannot help that every time i get any money in my hands it goes directly to dope. trust me this is NOT a drug you want anything to do with. Opiates themselves are bad enough But dope is just digging yourself further into hell. I have been very lucky by not having any legal issues and having access to subs cheap if i need a few but this is not the norm. My advise is to get help for your oxy use before you fall into a hole that in my experience is close to impossible to get out of
