Hello, I have been taking oxy off and on for the past 5 months. The last 2 weeks I have basically been dosing every 4-5 hrs by chewing a 20-30mg tab. In the past 3 days I have only taken it a couple times a day at 30 mg, no buzz, no happy feeling, just headache and upset stomache. Prior to this 2 week bender I was clean for 2 weeks and plan to go off the oxy again for a bit to reduce tolerance. Given my history and doses should I up to 40mg? I wanted to feel good one more time before I take my drug holiday, I have taken it twice today at 30 mg and feel like crap. Any suggestions?
 
I can't explain the headache, but the stomach problems can be dealt with by taking an antihistamine (diphenhydramine, promethazine, doxylamine succinate) before you take your oxy).
 
I think you should chill on the Oxy for a while, unless you want to seriously up your dose. Tolerance is a bitch, and it's well underway in your case.

If you think about it, you're taking between 60-120 mg of Oxy daily for 2 weeks straight. Obviously, your body has adjusted and 30 mg isn't going to do a heck of a lot.

2-4 weeks off opiates works wonders for me.

Paradoxical reactions to opiates/opioids are not uncommon. I've experienced exactly the same symptoms on oxy which you are describing. I don't know what causes it. I just know it happens in some people on occasion. Basically what I ended up doing was I took half of my usual dose afterwards and surprisingly I got really good high (it's like my tolerance went down). That's just me though.

Very interesting, did you go off oxy for a while first or just lower your dose??
 
Ok so my last dose was yesterday at 8pm wherby I took 30mg, today at 1pm I took 15mg and I actually feel pretty good. No headache, or tummy upset and I have a slight buzz. I am relieved to not have negative symptoms. I will try this a couple of times, at minimum lowering the dose will ease the withdrawl for my drug holiday which I still plan to take. Thanks so much for the input and support. Debbie
 
weird because i gave up oxys where i would do 80 mg a time,and then after a few months with nothing i played it safe and took 40mg and was sick as a dog! :(

This happened with hydrocodone with me. I was taking codeine for like 2 weeks which lowered my tolerance down a bit & when I went back to hydrocodone, that first dose was awesome, almost like doing it the 1st time.
 
My suggestion is to get off oxy as soon as possible, take a month tolerance break, then start back on hydrocodone. Its weaker so after you take it for a while when you get back on oxycodone you will feel the difference (get a buzz again). Oh and while your on your break smoke lots of weed so your constantly high, take xanax on the weekends but dont get addicted

So once tolerance builds can you even get high anymore? With this tolerance and negative sideffects what would happen if I took 50mgs? Or I guess its hard to know. I know this sounds stupid but I feel kinda down that my 'old reliable" doesn't work anymore, I guess I am curious if a high dose would make it work again? I wouldn't continue that anyway as am set on my drug holiday. Again thx so much for input and support.

Sorry i couldnt tell you what would happen if you took 50mg, it really depends on your tolerance, you could get high as fuck or you could have depressed breathing and die.
Okay it looks like 40mg would be safe if you take 30mg a lot just dont take 50mg unless you are able to take 40mg without having repressed breathing for a while. DO NOT DRINK, it could kill you. You could still get high, it would take a crazy amount. But like i said try 40mg, i cant really give you a good solid answer about 50mg i know that i would most likely OD if i took that much, you could OD depending on your tolerance, im not you though. If you do happen to take a break, dont take your old dose (when you start back dont take 30mg, take less). Sorry i cant really help more than that.
Edit: dont take 40mg and be 100 percent sure you wont OD, it could kill you just be careful

Thank you for your response. I am not going to take anymore oxy at all for at least 2 weeks minimum. Following my break I will start again with my 15mg dose and hope for the best! Tolerance is a bitch!
