Hello all.

Newbie here & just wanted to say hi from the Uk and was wondering if anyone had any experience of OxyContin / OxyCodone at all?

I have been taking this for around 18 months now for back problems and I'm now on 600mg's per day,(used to be on a higher dose!!!)
Would like to hear from people taking this for what ever reason & there experiences with it?

Thanks
Richie
 
I was on Oxycontin for a period of around a year. I was on a dosage of 160mgs, 4 times a day. So roughly close to your dosage and I have to admit, sure it worked for the pain, but the plasma levels would constantly spike and I would experience WD symptoms frequently, especially in the mornings. My advice ( if you even want advice ) would be to get off oxy and get on a long acting opiate for pain. You wont have to deal with constantly worrying about your next dose, counting the minutes on the clock etc etc. I am sure you know what I mean. If you are truly in pain, I would suggest something like Methadone if available in your area. And yes, when I would feel down, I would take more of the oxy, up to a gram a day but it was a waste, it did not really make me feel any better and just wasted the medication.
 
I was taking 80 mg three times a day. Been doing that for five years. On suboxen now and feeling much better. 600 mg would put horses to sleep dude. that is a great deal.
 
Thanks for all the replies

I know what you mean balcony, in every way!
I did only take it for pain to start but now I know I'm totally addicted to the stuff and I agree totally with your comments about watching the clock etc.
How I take it is 3 doses of - 1x120mg & 1x80mg = 200mg x 3 per day. These are sustained release obviously as the biggest single dose of oxycodone you can get for immediate release is 20mg
I put the 2 tablets in my mouth and chew them up before swallowing with water.

To answer MoreFeens4Morphine question, I was probably on 800mg of what I'm taking now plus, I would say roughly antwhere between 15-20 20mg immediate release oxycodone. Yes!!! One he'll of an amount - this was before my doctor was flagged up by one of the other doctors there to ask her if she new how much I was taking wasn't right! That's when she dropped the dose down but, I must admit, it's a struggle trying to stick to 600mg per day after being used to taking so much more than that!

I know Oxycodone is now big for celebs that want a quick high but I would say to anyone thinking of taking this just for a buzz, don't do it! Once your hooked its a nightmare, the withdrawals are something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I have had withdrawals when I have taken an extra dose here and there and said to myself "it's ok. Ill take one less dose tomorrow" it never works that way, and once the withdrawals kick in, it's difficult to explain but I will try........
My vision goes blurry, it's like I'm not in my own body, every square inch of my body aches, hot / cold sweats, restless legs, hurts to piss!, everything smells horrible, just an overall horrible experience that I hate and constantly look at the clock till you can pick up your next prescription from the pharmacy.
It's true what they say with opiates that you have to take more and more to get the same amount of pain relief (or buzz if that's the reason you take it),
Again thanks for the welcome & replies. I will try to help anyone who is suffering taking this with what experiences I have been through.
I have had withdrawals now around 3 times where I have taken extra and run out and every time I tell myself I won't do it again.
I have a weekly prescription now, as soon as I get it, I give them to my partner who gives me two doses, the third I have to wait till she gets in from work at 6:p.m to have my third dose, otherwise I will have had all three by 4 or 5p.m.

Just want to say to people that are thinking of trying this just for a high, don't, it isn't worth it.
I have spoken to my doctor about methadone but all she says is, we will get your back sorted then gradually reduce the amount over time till I am off it all together.
 
Balcony - what do you mean by the plasma levels would constantly spike which would give you WD?
 
Welcome, but I am new too :)

We are in a VERY similar situation. Everything you posted is exactly the same for me. Everything. From the back pain to having a loved one give you your meds. Only your 18 months is short to get to that dose! It took me a few years from when I was 19yo to now at 25. Only the dosages are a bit different. I was prescribed 480mg per day but taking up to 960mg. Averaging 640mg. Without going into specifics I'm now being tapered and am down to 400mg per day. But my new Dr knows little about pain meds and has put me in a very difficult situation.

I successfully went from averaging 9 x 80's a day to 8 to 7 to 6 to 5.5. My dr was good with letting me have an extra fortnight on a dosage if I wasn't ready to reduce. Now I have been put on 5 per day (400mg) and my pain is intolerable again and I have taken extra tablets. My dr won't budge on my prescription date even though its my first fortnight on this dose. What makes it worse is I was only ever prescribed 6 x 80's so on paper it looks like I have reduced VERY little.

So I am going to run out and I have been a mess all week because I have run out before and know how desperate I will be. I hate being addicted but oxy has also saved my life. I didn't want to live in the pain I was in prior to oxy. My old Dr saw me go through 5 years after a motorbike accident and really understood my situation and my tolerance due to many factors.

So now I have been trying to find people with pain meds but don't know anyone. So I went to the city to try and get Heroin because I don't know what else to do. No one has oxy. I have NEVER touchd H but know it will stop withdrawals. If I have nothing when the day comes that I run out I am VERY scared of what I'll do.

Sorry for posting so much in your thread. I got a little carried away because I am a mess atm.

At least know your not alone on your high oxy dose. I'm sure you know what it's like to run out so be careful not to end up in my situation. Looking for Oxy or H on the street, or down the end of a barrel.

I wish you all the best
 
Hi Geenturtle

Firstly please don't apologise for the long post, its really good to hear from someone in the same situation, it really is!

I too have thought about heroin although I've never done it and I've never taken any other drugs before, I've thought about it due to the withdrawals. I've tried to explain to my partner what it feels like going through withdrawals but its very hard to explain, just that its a very horrible experience as you know. The sweats, restless legs, blurred vision, every inch of your body aching all over, water eyes, its like you are not in your own body, etc etc etc.

I've just picked up my weekly script from the pharmacy of 21 x 120's & 21 x 80's, took 200mg's 20 minutes ago and I'm now feeling normal again but, I know in an hour or so I will be tempted to take another 200mg's as the first dose would have worn off but I know if I do that, I have hours to go till 5 or 6p.m when I take my last dose of the day. It's shit mate, it really is shit but I know there are people in a far worse position than I'm in and I really feel for them.

Please don't go down the route of heroine, I know its very hard when you know you will run out and you will do absolutely anything to feel normal again but please don't do it, or the other route you mentioned doesn't bare thinking about, please use this forum to talk to me or others to help you through it. I will help you as much as I can, although not in the flesh so to speak I will reply to you're post or messages as soon as I can so please get in touch whenever you feel like it and don't ever apologise!

So, please message me whenever you like if you need to talk.

Thank you for the post and take care, chat soon

When are you due to run out?

What dose age do you have left?

When is you're script due again?
 
I managed to arrange to pick my prescription up from the pharmacy a day earlier than usual which gave me an extra dose of 200mg x 3, (normally prescribed a weekly dose every Tuesday so I got my weekly dose on Monday), great I thought!!

So yesterday I took a total of 1040mg's, normal dose is 600mg's per day
Why do I do this??
I have gone from having 3 doses spare to taking extra again.

It's now 11:40 a.m here and I have taken my daily dose of 3x200mg's already, if I carry on like this I will run out by Saturday and my next script isn't due till Monday so I will put my self through the total shit of withdrawals yet I don't seem to be able to control it!
Because I was crafty with the docs and managed to get them to write the script out a day early, I will have to tell my partner to trust me with the meds as I don't want her to know I have taken extra (she usually hides the meds from me and gives me my set dose per day & that's it, if I take it early and run out for the day, I have to live with it till the next morning arrives)

I desperately need help with this shit!
