Long story short, I'm a 7 year oxy addict. 2 years ago I tried IV Heroin. Did it about 20 times then went back to pills. I got Hep C from the IV use. When I take oxy 30's IR (which now should get me high) Does almost nothing but end the sickness. Every once in a while I can take a 30 and get high within 45 mins.

Anyone have experience with this or know about it?
 
Hmmm. It depends on how the Hep C is has affecting your liver enzymes and what stage it is at. I will do some reading for you (not right now, about to head out sorry...)

Are you undergoing treatment? Is it currently latent?
 
Hey man. I may be one of the few here with Hep C experience. I have had Hep C for possible 20 years. I am now in treatment for it - and treatment sucks. At any rate, if you, in fact, acquired hep c 2 years ago, it is likely your liver is still in fine shape. This means that your liver function is likely not compromised, and everything will metabolise correctly and safely. It isnt until you have stage 4 fibrosis (cirrosis) that liver function is impaired to the point that metabloism is affected. I wouldnt worry too much about it if I were you, but I absolutely would at the very least have a liver function test done at your doctor to make sure you liver is functioning properly. The liver function test only measures how well your liver is functioning, I was into stage 2-3 fibrosis and my liver function was still normal. I am now on a triple therapy clinical trial paid for by Novartis. It is basically chemotherapy and I feel like ass all the time. Get your liver checked. Hep C can kill.

Oh if you have any concerns about Hep C feel free to pm me.
 
What is your current level of tolerance that 30mg of oxycodone has a 50/50 shot of having an effect on you?

Oral BA of oxycodone is higher than nasal if you're sniffing them, just a heads up. Nasal is a bit over 60%, where oral is around / over 80% (but not higher than 87%) - still a quite large difference.
 
^ took the words off my finger tips but anyways.. have you tried taking some milk thistle to help your liver function..? i really think that would help you alot
