first time opana user, strange experience, need advice!

Hello - long time reader, first time poster. Had a bit 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 maimize 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 wasnt 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 im sure

Hey there, I am also new, welcome to BL! First of all, be careful mixing xanax or other benzos with a strong opiate (opiod? sorry not sure of the difference) I know that this can greatly increase your chances for respiratory failure. I only say this because the whole goal of BL is harm reduction. Okay, now for the opana. 120-150mg is a pretty heavy hydrocodone habit, for the sake of harm reduction (again, I know, I'm sorry) I hope that you were doing a CWE since that much acetaminophin (sp? Tylenol) can absolutely destroy your liver. I think that your problem was that after the first couple 5mg pills that you put into your nose, your nose was saturated with powder and simply couldn't absorb anymore of the opana. in any pill, most (almost all) of the pill is made up of some sort of filler, this means there is a lot of powder in there that contains zero opana. The best way to get the best effect if you have a small mg pill like a 5mg opana is to go to the drug store and get some saline nasal rinse (it has a 2-3 inch nozzle on it, it comes in a can, and basically washes out the inside of your nose). Once you snorted 2 of those pills, your nose was covered in powder up there, and you were likely snorting the rest of them straight into your stomach where you experienced a much lower Bioavailability (some say as low as 10% compared to 70% intranasally, but it's different for everyone). If you had snorted two of the pills, waited 30 minutes, washed your nose out, then snorted more (be careful, opana can creep up on you) you may have had a better experience. You have a decent tolerance from taking that much hydrocodone and you may not have gotten more than 10mg to touch the veins in your nose because of the saturation of the powder. Just some thoughts, as always, be careful.
