I guess more of the question is how did u first become addicted to opiates. Through surgury, from friends recreationally?

Sorry if there has abeen a thread on this just htought it would be an interesting topic
 
How did I start using? By looking up drugs on Erowid and finding out that the Percocets I had could be easily abused. How did I get addicted? I really can't say, but I would guess when I started stealing very large quantities of methadone from a family member and taking them.
 
I think this is a thread more suited for DC but......

i started for recreational purposes...started with loratbas, then vicodin, then tussinex, then oxycontin, then methadone, then heroin, then iv heroin, then iv dilaudid.....not to mention the occasional fenanyl consumption
 
This is definatly Drug Culture discussion , not OD discussion . I first started opiates the same way ... except it started when i got prescribed percocet for having my wisdom teeth taken out .. i went home and typed in percocet into google read some of those .. found erowid ... read some of those .. then found bluelight .. and signed up .. then proceeded to try every drug known to man .. because i was able to RESEARCH alot better with first hand accounts of personal experiences ..
 
I worked as a chemist for a big pharma company that made opiates. Just kidding. The same way most people start. They get some for a small injury or from the dentist then gradually move on from there. I also research everything until I know everything about it and anything closely related to it. I have always done this even way before I started doing drugs. Plus biology, chemistry, and medicine are a hobby of mine so it all works out great. lol.
 
Ahaha i know what you mean bigger , i researched X for almost 8 months before i ended up taking my first pill ... and even then i thought i still wasnt sure if i was going to be ok after the night ..
 
It goes (for me): Codeine--> Hydrocodone--> Oxycodone--> Morphine--> Methadone/buprenorphine......... Morphine/Oxycodone-->bupe/'done

And the cycle continues

I became addicted in the oxycodone stage.
 
What got me interested in opiates was when i hurt my back at the age of 21 and my Grandma gave me a few of her percocets. She didn't need them anymore. I wouldn't have taken them if she needed them.

So anyway... percocet was when i first got interested in opiates 16 years ago. And when the Percs ran out a friend introduced me to speed (I know it's not an opiate). I got addicted, started Iving it but after 9 months i didn't want to do speed anymore. After 9 months of daily use i lost 40 pounds, i was skin and bone. I looked HORRIBLE. So i quit. It wasn't easy but i did it. And thankfully my one and only source moved 2 states away, so that was helpful.

I'm trying to make this short as possible. I'm almost 37 so i have a 16 year history to sum up in a few paragraphs lol.

So i was sober a few years. Mainly because i couldn't get anything and didn't know how to go about getting anything or finding a source. But, than like many of you i had to go to the dentist for an abscessed tooth. I was scripted Vicodin HP (10's) with 4 refills. And i also got a few more refills after the 4 ran out. But, this was a serious tooth issue, my whole face was swollen and i was in extreme pain.

So again, i got interested in opiates. I manged to get scripted vics over the years for various injuries etc -- no, i didn't doctor shop. These scripts were months and years in between.

But than i was in a bad car accident 5/6 years ago, fractured my back. Was scripted Vic 10's again and stayed on that for a few years. Than i found Tramadol and was on that for a a while and the occasional percocet script.

My pain never went away even after therapy, traction, aqua therapy, ultra sound therapy and all the other therapies. I had epidural shots with no success. So here i am now, scripted Roxi's (yes i know Roxicodone is Oxycodone), Fent and Soma. Every time i type Roxicodone someone makes a comment about how Roxi and oxy are the same, for some reason when I type roxi's someone assumes i don't know they are the same lol. Strange huh LOL. I know they are the same, i have known this for years.

Yes, i am an addict on top of being a severe daily pain suffer. It's a frustrating situation. It's so hard to not to let the addict mind over ride the pain suffer mind. I try to find a balance but it's so damn hard.

Anyway... that's my history. Sorry it was so long. But, like i said... that's a 16 year history. And i know you didn't ask for a history. You only asked how people got started. But, the story is interesting i guess... at least to me lol. It's kinda therapeutic to talk about it as well-- to type about it!

it was actually http://hedweb.com/ that first got me interested in them, i am not an opiate user anymore though. when i took norco every day a few years ago, it eventually just made me feel sick and itchy and not very high and that's when i decided i just don't have the body chemistry to properly enjoy opiates.
 
I don't really know when I crossed a line, but the first time I ever had a percocet was when I was 14. I had a real bad head cold, migrainy, fluey thingy going on. My mother gave me a half of one because I told her I was hurting.... Let me tell you... I was HIGH AS A KITE of that one 2.5 mg perc! It may have been also due to the fact that I had a fever too and was sick. But I remember the wondeful floaty bliss and it made my cigarettes taste awesome ( yes, I know, i was 14) I did quit smoking at 17. I remember a few hours later I snuck in her bathroom and found the other half!!
Years go by where I maybe had a handrul of percs for 10 years. In 1993 I had a double hernia and got percs for that.. and within a year my l4 disc started giving me issues so i would get the occasional percs or vikes for that. In 1997-1998 I took nothing and then my back acted up again in 1999.. so more percs or vikes. 2000 brought me a tonsilectomy and more percs. I was still having the disc issue as well. In 2004 it went out so bad I ended up in the hospital for 4 days on a diladid sched every 2 hours. I got some to take home and they were not as effective.
At this point, I really decided I didn't want this pattern to continue. I oddly stayed with the percs and vikes and besides the one instance of dilaudid, I have never tried anyother narcotic. So i decided to taper off my 80ish mg habit. Funny enough I never took more than 15mgs of any pill at one time in all those years. I never had a tolerance issue. I did redose a few times during the day. I think the most I ever did in any one day was 100mgs.
I tapered from June 2006 until Nov 3 2006. From Sept to Nov 3 I was only taking 20 mgs. one in the morning and the other at 5pm. I was fairly comfortable after I quit. best thing I ever did was taper.
I have had surgery oct 2007 and had to have meds. I was prudent and do not feel a "slip" I did what I had to do. I am looking at another minor one next month and may have to have a few then too. I will cross thhat brigde.
I have had 3 oral surgeries for my implants and never took one of my pills!

Sorry this is long but I think its cool for people to understand what works for others. I am defineitely happy to be off them Life seems so much more clearer, mentally and physically. There are bad days, but i never was a pill taker for stress. So I am living day to day and feeeling much healthier. There are some minor cravings here and there but nothing that I would cave into.
Just to note...I have never tried hard drugs...not a one. I am so am not a drinker so I am hoping I spared my liver!



Good luck to all my other bluelighters. Be Safe!
 
The first painkiller i took was an oc 20 and I loved the way it made me feel..Like everything was alright and it took away my anxiety...I didn't really become addicted until I started shootin' up heroin, or at least notice that I was addicted...
 
I first started to use opiates after i broke my hand.. tylenol 3s then vicodin 5/500. That was the start to a very bad addiction.
 
The first psychoactive drug I ever took was a Lortab (Hydrocodone) which is an opiate, even tho at the time (while i was in High School) i didn't do drugs just drank alcohol at all the High School parties that we all did. The first time i got a buzz from a 10mg oxy IR right after graduating Highschool i got my first pure opiate buzz, months later as i enter my freshmen year of college I met this kid in my philosophy class and we started talking and just bullshitting and i could tell he smoked bud so asked if he wanted to go over to my friends apartment after class and puff and while we were over there puffing we start talkin about pills and shit and he said he could get OC 40s and 80s up in his area (bout 30mins away from campus) and we went up there ,me and him, that night and picked up a bottle of 40's, 90 of em.. we were so excited that we both ate one right when we got them and went back to his house and snorted some and got faded.... then he started fronted me bottles of 40s and shit, you know like he would give me 120 OC/40s and then just leave and i think thats when i got addicted cuz i always had a bottle full of OC in my room (which i was supposed to sell and make some cash which worked for awhile then i got super addicted and started doing like 150-250mgs of oc a day.... Then i used suboxone to come off and still am struggling with the sub (im on a low dose - 0.5mgs-1mg a day)
 
I don't remember my first opiate experience. I remember doing codeine in high school and mostly just getting sick from it. I had lots of insignificant experiences before I decided I loved opiates. The first great opiate experience I remember was when I snorted 4mg of hydromorphone back around 1999 or so.
 
I started on codeine, it's OTC here mixed with ibuprofen/acetaminophen. I was on some thread on some dodgy website about 'home-made drugs', and one guy posted a whole 'how-to-CWE-N+', and I went out and tried it. Erowid then became my friend, and then I can't remember how I found BL but I joined up about 10 months after first trying codeine and then got back into it.
