I have been on 80mg 4xday oxycontin with 1 or 2 20mg oxycodone 3xday for a while now, I was wondering if I shot up the O'done would it work better with the pain without progressing the doses?
I have never shot up any of my meds, I tried once and chickened out, should I not even try it and take it as directed?
 
It would work better in the short term, but it makes your tolerance sky rocket, not to mention all the other dangers that comes along with Intravenous drug use. If the oxy isn't cutting it anymore, as you are on a pretty high dose, talk with your prescribing doctor about a med change....until then take as directed and stay away from the needles!
 
IV oxycodone isn't going to give you any better results than orally, two suggestions, 1.) Try to take less in order to lower your tolerance. 2.) Try taking something with it to potentiate it. DXM works well for me, anti-histamines do the trick as well.

Thank you Turk, I do not want to ask for an adjustment. I hate the fact that I am where I am now and do not want to increase the dosage anymore. I have even tried to wait until I cannot stand the pain then take my dose in order to make it more effective. I go through the cold sweats which I hate but doing so does not seem to help. I hope this makes sense, is raising my dose the only option?

thanks for posting J3, what is DXM?

Dextromethorphan, it's the active ingredient in cough syrup and gel caps. It's the "cough suppressant"

It can potentiate your oxy buzz quite well, and actually helps reduce tolerance at the same time. It could be quite beneficial in your case.

If you start taking the medication another way, other than intended, it might give you results for a very short period of time. But then you will be in an even worse predicament because of the quick tolerance build up that would occur rapidly. The oxy would lose its effectiveness totally, especially if you tried to take it as directed after IV use....This is how many people switch to Heroin...

I believe raising your dose or changing medications to something stronger would benefit you more since you are already at 320mg+ a day of Oxycodone, this is a high dose, and it can lose its effectiveness. Check out Opana or transdermal Fentanyl on the web and ask your doctor about them. When used as directed these meds can really help people in your situation.

Good luck man
 
I highly advise you not to IV your pills. For one thing oxycodone is processed MUCH faster this way (1-2hrs for the high--I'm not sure how that translates into therapeutic effects --ime) & for another shooting opiates is a slippery slope with often fatal consequences.
 
oxycodone already has a kinda good oral bioavailability (wiki says 60-87% ) so IVing it wouldn't make THAT much of a difference... it's not like morphine which is three times stronger when IVed.

so yeah... i don't think it would be a good idea
 
That's a joke, right? > snip < Oxy does NADA orally - zip, zilch, zero - NO MATTER HOW MUCH U TAKE & only works blatting in cold water mixing- HOWEVER - yr too late... Guaranfuckingteed u got Oxy O.P's which can be done - but I'd advise not too, if yr a rookie... Soooo, if it's got O.P on it, forget it - swap it for something else. If however, it doesn't, just bust it up in the fit rapper, add cold water, a full filter on the end, and draw - she'll come up clear. Of course u can use pill filters & such... but IMO, switch up...

Do not think about this it would destroy your life and veins shooting pills that are not meant to be is dumb plain and simple even using a micron filter (BTW many do not cause they don't have access to them or cannot afford them due to all the drugs they do) your putting yourself at risk for a whole whack of problems. I wish I never picked up a needle and have yet to this day met anyone who said I'm glad I started shooting up. The high starts to not last as long your sick more often and you need more and more than you ever would have orally leaving you doing way more pills than you've ever done in your life. So unless you like the sounds of all that and think getting sepsis ,looking like a sick junkie all the time is better than what your doing don't do any IV drugs.

DXM potentiates opiates its what's in cough medicine but it make you slow and stupid killing Brain cells.

An even better on is marijuana studies show pain patients can cut their opiate use by more than half by incorporating cannabis with their medicine. I never think about using opiate By themselves for pain anymore as you need so much to get relief its better to mix in other pain relievers with the opiates such as Tylenol or advil and even cannabis as I mentioned. When pain relievers are used together like this less of each drug is needed to achieve pain relief. This is why drugs like percocet/percadan and vicodin/ vicoprofen were invented.

Try a couple vaporised hits of hash oil or weed with your oxycodone next time see how it affects you some can't do it as it give anxiety but most handle it no problems and get less side effects due to needing less of the side effect inducing, habit forming opiates. Also making edibles works good too an easy way to make edibles is firecrackers.
Here is my favorite recipe from grass city forums-

wow we let this guy on a harm reduction website. really. are you telling the guy to shoot up oxy OPs when he has never shot a substance in his life and if he was im sure he wouldn't read all your non sense to figure out the process of IVing.
 
Everyone above gave great advice & I will just repeat........don't shoot pills & stay away from the needle!

Also, speak to your doctor about how the meds aren't working as much as they use to & if there is another pain med they could prescribe.......
 
Oxycodone is one of the few opiates that I found no benefit to use IV. Especially considering there are safe ROAs with a bioavailability that are very close to that of IV oxycodone. The only benefit in my mind would be the faster onset and to me that does not justify IV use especially considering the shorter duration.

To answer your question, in my opinion, it would not be a more effective way to take your meds. Others might tell you differently.
 
can someone present the safest possible method of practicing this. we have to come to terms that drug users are going to do what they want.

how do i go about shooting oxycodone as safe as i can? what is the filtration process like? what materials do i need?

basic -> other drugs
 
baooozs, START YOUR OWN THREAD AND DON'T HIJACK MINE!

jk b, =D ;)


I just want to thank all of the members for the great advice and the "DO NOT DO IT!!!"

I can really tell you guys really care.

Kudos to you guys! with the exception of a couple of members.
 
was this directed at me??

If it was; sorry for bringing that out of you.

i'm glad you decided not to do it. the filtration process is a headache and you really need to have the right equipment. oral ba is great.

as for that post, it's been unnapproved and the member has been dealt with. i'm sorry you had to read that "wtf did i just read" type of post.
