How long to wait? (Opiate related)

Last weekend i went through a fair amount of Poppy pod tea (High quality, approximately 25-30 pods over the space of 3 days, 3 cups of tea) and some Oxycontin 80mg tabs (OC's) just to bump the poppy pod tea up a litle bit,im not sure exactly although somewhere in the region of 400mg - 800mg Oxy)

Anway i take no OXY throughout the week until wednesday evening i decide to brew a poppy pod tea (10 pods) from which i felt very mild effects from which i was left feeling quite dissapointed, but i sort of know what to expect by only leaving it 3 days beteween then and my poppy pod/oxycontin binge, so anyway after my dissapointment of wednesday nights poppy tea, i just by coincidence had a night of insomnia on the wednesday night even though i took enough temazepam and diazepam to usually knock me out! :o

I decide by 5am (1 hour before i usually get up for work) that it would be good to have a poppy pod tea before work (bad mistake) anyway i proceed to make the tea as normal (10 pods) and drink the cup by 6am, i shower, get ready for work as normal leave the house ride to work (5miles) on my push bike albeit slightly wobbly.

As the morning wore on i began to feel pretty messed up so ended up leaving work early coming home via a visit to A&E on my works insistance, the doc examines me and diagnosis exhaustion due to sleep deprivation, i go home and sleep solid for 15 hours!

Then today saturday i decide to be cautious and crush up 7x60mg (420mg) DHC (Dihydrocodeine) which i ingest and feel very little if nothing at all, so 2-3 hours later i take 100mg Diazepam some anti histamine and then decide to crush up and swallow 8x60mg (480mg) DHC.

So all in all 900mg of Dihdrocodeine in 3 hours barely touched me. Which from the equvilancy charts works out at roughly 180mg Oxy!

Although i do understand its not as black and white as that, my only guess is that i didnt give myself enough time for my tolerance to drop and i also so to speak, i took a few steps down the Opiate ladder from the Oxy/poppy pods down to the Dihydrocodeine.

I may be right, i may be wrong but thats just my guess.

Now my question is.... I next plan to use Opiates again on Thursday night (Oxy) not sure of the doseage yet as i will be going to a gig with a group of friends who dont use Opiates or Benzos so i dont want to be noddng like a donkey i just want to be sociable snd enjoy myself without being in the grip of Anxiety/Depression which Opiates (and some times Benzos) when used sparlngly and reponsinbly work wonders for me.

Do my Fellow Bluelighters think my Opiate tolerance will have dropped enough for me to fing a happy-medium dose by Thursday night?

Any imput and comments would be greatly appeciated, but please try and keep it constructive if possible :D

Stay safe ;)

Mate, those are huge doses of both opiates and benzos. I can't recommend any dosages to you that would be safe from a harm reduction standpoint.

I'd honestly suggest just trying to not use or taper your intake down as much as possible. 800mg oxycodone is a very large amount, and would leave me dope-sick as hell after that several-day affair.

Well, I know it isn't what you wanted to hear, but that's my 2c.
