First Time Opana user, having confusing results.

[Eedaoxyboy]

Hello - long time reader, first time poster. Had a bit of a....disappointment yesterday. I usually do around 120-150mg of hydrocodone per day. Been off and on for years. Yesterday for the first time, I got ahold of 10 5mg instant release opana. After reading up on it a lot i got the impression that it was incredibly potent, that going up your nose was the best way to maximize the effects and that I should take it slow.....

So i took it really slow. First started with 2.5, waited 20 mins, nothing. Did another 2.5...felt a little something. Ultimately I wound up snorting 50 mg spaced evenly between Noon-10pm but never caught that heavy, warm and fuzzy feeling that I used to get from hydrocodone and oxycodone. I felt good, but not great at all. Could it be that my tolerance is too high from months of hydrocodone use? I was waiting anywhere between 20 mins and an 1.5 hours between 5mg doses. I also took 1mg of xanax too and smoked some sativa. I counted on catching a good nod and feeling a typical opiate buzz, but instead i was compelled to do some projects around the house and went to be d much later than normal. Basically, is there a chance that these were fake opana? They absolutely looked authentic....

At one point I snorted 10mg in 30 minutes, I got a little relaxed, but again, no euphoria, just a mild relaxation and plenty of energy. Definitely nowhere close to a nod. Is this an atypical experience or is it more likely that I wasn't doing enough, or do you all think I might've gotten ripped off? Maybe I just need to do more all at once? I would very much appreciate any insight as I dont want to make an accusation of them being fake unless i'm sure

Opioids can definitely be speedy sometimes, and I've heard this is true of hydromorphone. I've never tried it, though.

basically, what i am wondering is if my experience was atypical. I usually feel great after 30 mg of hydrocodone taken orally, but 5mg of oxymorphone(?) (opana) taken through the nose had much less of an effect. Is that normal? Is my dosage too low? anyone's input with relevant experience would be really helpful.

I would probably hardly feel 30mg of hydrocodone, but if I snort opana then I'll do 15-20mg or shoot about that much spaced over an hour or so. My opiate tolerance is pretty slight, but it's natural

I am saying this in the most respectful way possible, but how is it that a moderator can give such an unhelpful response and not address the fact that the first person to respond to this post referred to opana as hydromorphone? Just think that a more helpful and informed response could really help reduce harm (which is what this site is all about, right?)

Anyways, to address the OP, I swear I just posted a lengthy response to this, maybe it was in a different forum? I will answer here as well just in case you don't see my other post. I believe the reason that you didn't feel the opana (which is the brand name for Oxymorphone, NOT hydromorphone) is because after the first 1-2 pills your nose was saturated with powder and you likely snorted these pills straight into your stomach. You need to clean the powder out of your nose in between for best effect, there is a ton of fillers in these pills, especially one with a very small amount of oxymorphone such as a 5mg pill (I just want to say that, for a person who has no tolerance to opiates, 5mg of oxymorphone is plenty). Go get some nasal rinse from the drug store (you can buy it OTC, it's simply a saline rinse) and rinse your nose out 30-40 minutes after sniffing before doing any more. Hope this helps answer your question.

Speedy opioids like oxycodone are the ones derived from thebaine generally.

Yes, oxymorphone is correct. I even looked it up to double check, but somehow still wrote the wrong name.

That's really interesting.

I would think you'd be able to taste the pills as to whether they were real or not. It's a pretty distinct taste and the generics will clog your nose a little if you're not careful. I also kind of block my throat with my tongue to prevent it from dropping straight to my stomach. Just my experience for what it's worth.
