Opioids How long to get my tolerance to reset/lower?

[Ava_]

Since mid-December, I have been an almost daily opiate user--tramadol, oxy, and hydro--and I have probably had about 10 clean days in total. This is my third day in a row without, and Monday I didn't take any opiates either, and that is a HUGE deal for me, even if on those days I just took other non-narcotic pills. I am really really trying to get this under control, get my tolerance down and be able to get through a day without a fix so I'm one step closer to quitting. I gain a tolerance unusually fast. I can take a dose of something for a few days and when I take it again, I feel nothing.
If you have any advice for me, please do share.
Is there anything I can do to help get rid of a tolerance faster? I'm 5'5", 108lbs. And I have hep c if that matters at all. The highest doses I've taken were 350mg Tramadol (Tramadol hit me significantly harder than anything I have ever taken. I was fucked up for 16 hours at a time and it gave me the best euphoria and sedation and the hallucinations were amazing) and I've taken up to 40mg oxy which gave me no high whatsoever. Not even a buzz, but it does satisfy my fix still. How long do you think it'll be until my tolerance gets lower, and will I get euphoria again or that gone for good?

It's really odd that tramadol got u that high and Oxy did nothing. Maybe u used the OPs which suck. You need like 4-6 months to get your tolerance real low

Yeah, I second that tomatalli. I could only ever feel Tramadol when I was basically an opiate virgin. Once I started the stronger stuff, I could add 200mg of Tramadol to my usual opiate dose, and I would not really feel any stronger effect. Strange, oxycodone should be way stronger.

For your tolerance, one month will be enough to lower it to the point where you will feel you present dose you take now to a higher extent. If you want to take lower doses and feel high/euphoria, you are going to have to be in it for the 3month+ period, even then, low doses may not work. I took 4months off, and took 400mg of Codeine at once and felt nothing....

You need to take at least a two week break, then after that keep your use to 2x a week max, otherwise not only will you risk becoming physically dependent, but your tolerance will jump right back up there again. Having said that, this kind of controlled use is much easier said than done.

I can chew them and snort them just fine, which I've heard you can't do with the OPs. I had a bottle from last year and one prescribed to me in February and neither of them had OP written on them. I just looked up the pictures of OPs and the pills don't look like that.
But yeah, I have no idea why Tramadol was so much better for me (pain-wise, too) than oxy or hydro

People underestimate tram I'm a hardcore dope addict and I used to love trams and was surprised how long they remained and effective means of getting high . Trams still got me high when I was in the height of my opana use but now that iv herion is my doc they finally lost there luster

This. Tolerance drops very quickly, so taking a break for a couple weeks will lower it drastically... the downside is that tolerance also rises again incredibly quickly. So, even after that 2 weeks of nothing, all it takes sometimes is a few days of getting high in a row to jack up your tolerance again. But, like Tommy said, if you can manage to keep your usage to once or twice a week... you'll keep a steady tolerance. Good luck pulling that off though..
