I already posted some of this info this in the mega thread, but I thought maybe I'd get some answers here.
A friend of mine prepared and injected some opana ER solution after crisping and immediately turned beet red from hypertension and was having trouble breathing. This was his first time using this method and his solution was darker than mine usually is. He was also in a hurry and may not have filtered as well as I typically do. In 5 minutes, homeostasis seemed to return, and in 30, his breathing/blood pressure returned, basically, to normal. After another 4 hours had passed, he still felt pretty badly beat-down, but was no longer in a state of terror. I'd like to add that, as soon as I noticed his symptoms, I quickly prepared to rush him to the hospital... it was that bad. This did not wind up being necessary, but his health and/or life seemed at great risk. He re-dosed opiates much later in the evening, and reported to feel much better. When he woke up the next day he could barely move. All of his joints were so inflamed he couldn't bend them. Even his fingers were locked up. He did not re-dose, so his feeling better the night it happened may have resulted from the masking effect of the opiates he took. We have heard rumors of the major local walk-in clinic working with the authorities to crack down on IV drug abuse, so he is afraid to go in (I'm pretty sure that can't be legal at all, but somehow it wouldn't surprise me). Has anybody ever heard of anything like this happening? Needless to say, he is done using opana ER via IV, but I really wish I could figure out some way to help him in the mean time (and please bother posting to tell me he deserves whatever he gets, that would be counterproductive).
Anyway, here's what I mean by "crisping". This might inform an analysis of the symptoms:
1. An x-acto blade was used to remove the colored coating, one 30 pills was cut in half, and placed it in the spoon.
2. The spoon was heated from below with a butane cigarette lighter, applying maximum heat until the pill puffed up (i.e. was no longer concave and had started to puff out upwards).
3. After softening the half-pill, the butt of a bic lighter (lightly moistened) was used to flatten the half-pill until it was roughly the size of a dime, flipping it in the spoon when it started to curl until it eventually stuck and began to melt. The spoon was heated slowly from below while moving the flame around until a light brown/honey coloration was attained.
4. Once 0% of the pill was white any longer, the spoon was placed on an insulated surface and left to cool just slightly.
5. At this point, 2cc - 3cc of water was added and the melted opana was agitated with the flat end of the plunger, only scraping the spoon in one direction to help it dissolve into the water as slowly as possible so there aren't any floaty bits that should be dissolved.
6. A needleless 1cc syringe was used to pull 80-90 units through cotton filter (The solution was double filtered, to eliminate any floaters present, and pulled into a brand new, sharp 1cc syringe. The liquid was mildly viscous - roughly the consistency of a very light syrup (maybe comparable to the liquid from fruit cups with fruit juice... just slightly more viscous than water). This makes 2-3 80 unit shots.
