I apologize in advance if this has been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find an answer with the search engine.

How effective is re-dosing opiates? My gut tells me it would most efficient to dose all at once. The reason I ask is that I haven't touched opiates in a long time and am not sure what my tolerance is. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew, so to speak. but I also don't want to waste overpriced mg's if tolerance goes up immediately.

thank you in advance for your replies.
 
How long are we talking?

No tolerance? Try 15-20mg. Bit of a tolerance? Try 25-30mg.

You can always safely dose up, but not vise versa. You should worry about finding your comfort dose before worrying about wasting. I've never found an issue with redosing within an hour, though I've always kept my oxy use on the low scale.
 
I personally have great success with re-dosing.
Though most of the time I'm not "chasing the high" per say as I use them for pain management.
I find an initial large dose, followed by re-dosing every few hours as needed works for me.
However if your just trying to catch a buzz you may be better off just taking one larger dose.
Considering you haven't done it in a while I would agree with chainer3k on the starting with a relatively small dose.
Then you can try upping it within the hour if your not where you want to be.
Though I would recommend lower doses than he does for those that have no tolerance.
If you have had a previous tolerance I doubt you would be needing no tolerance level doses though so I guess it's not all that relevant. :)
As has been said to many times to count you can always take more but not less.
Hope you enjoy your experience & glad to see your playing it safe!
 
Re-dosing is fine, and the safer approach when you don't know your tolerance or the strength of your product. Duration will be longer and the peak won't be as high as if was all in one dose.
 
I agree with phrozen. I remember when I forst started and did 20 oxys and was nodding for a few hours. I remember when i did my first oxy 40 and was screwed! I was sweating and nodding for a few hours and couldn't sleep too well. Always start small and redose with just a little more to see where your tolerance is. Don't go off the deep end and double it up, you may regret it.
 
I used to be able to nod with about 30mg's of hydro and this time I took 25mg of oxy after 45mg of dxm and just felt high. I'm surprised that my tolerance would remain this high given that I have only used opiates ~10 times (oxy once), and not within the last 8 months
 
If youre unsure of your tolerance the safe thing to do is re-dose, and this is about harm-reduction. After you get your tolerance figured out you can hit yourself with a nice solid single dose. If you use your stash re-dosing you will gain knowledge of what you are more able to handle for the next time.
 
My boyfriend and I get OxyContin 80mg and cut into 10mg pieces and take one 10mg piece every hour or so until I'm at that PERFECT consistent high.
 
So today, I continued trying to find the correct dose. I ended up eating ~60mg and blowing another 15mg over the course of an hour and am still nowhere close to a nod. I would compare the intensity of the experience to resemble the strength of 1mg-1.5mg of xanax.

I also took 30mg of DXM, grapefruit juice, one shot of alcohol(slowly during the peak), tums, and cimetidine to potentiate the effects.

Is it possible that I would have a harder time getting good effects from oxy than hydro? 37.5mg of hydro has sent me to heaven. However, twice as much oxy can't even compare, even though it is more potent.
 
The only things I can think of are that for some reason, I can't get really pleasurable effects from oxy regardless of dose, or something in my diet is burning through the dose.
Anyone have any opinions or similar experiences?
 
yeah im right there with you. i get a decent buzz but nothing compared to morphine/ketobemidone etc.. it doesnt really compare..
