Hydrocodone pills and Promethazene

[tawaynoway]

Hello Bluelighters! Love the forum, first time posting!
SWIM has a found bottle of Hydrocodone 5mg/500mg APAP (and a few percs) and has been taking them every once and a while (about four times). SWIM's first dose was 20mg of oxy, and that was good, and then tried 35mg of oxy (CWE'D), which was great. After a seven day break, SWIM decided to try Hydros. SWIM took five 5mg/500mgAPAP hydro and one 5mg/325mgAPAP of oxy (not CWE'D, less than 3 grams of APAP). SWIM felt great!
Recently, SWIM found a bottle of promethazine pills (which I haven't tried). SWIM was wondering if this would potentiate it, and if so, what kind of cocktail (water + pills, swim likes feeling like a chemist ) could SWIM make, and if SWIM should lower the dosage of hydro when mixing (SWIM wants to stay safe.)

Questions I have:
Will it (promethazine) potentiate the high?
What dosage should I take, assuming 25mg of hydro would suffice normally?
Should I take them at the same time, or before or after?

Basically, assuming SWIM has little tolerance, what would SWIY recommend SWIM do?

No need to use SWIM on this forum friend. I cant answer all your questions, but I can tell you that to the best of my knowledge promethazine will not potentiate the high. I'm sure others will be able to answer the rest of your queries shortly.

Promethazine is a powerfully sedating antihistamine. It will potentiate the nodding effects of hydrocodone (while at the same time reducing the itching and nausea that some people get with it). I recommend starting with 6.25-12.5mg promethazine.

As mentioned, we don't use SWIM on this board. It does nothing to legally protect you and only makes your posts hard to read.

it's a really enjoyable combination when taken in safe, smaller doses. i would recommend that you lower the dose of hydrocodone you're taking with the promethazine, just for HR purposes. perhaps start with 10mg or 20mg & go from there! stay safe!

As far as synergism between antihistamines and opiates go, I would never do it with benadryl or most AH's because they just make you feel weird, but promethazine is my favorite, cyclizine is good too, but promethazine is definitely cleaner feeling although its more sedating(which is a good thing if you want to nod, but a bad thing if you are going out or need to work), and much more common and easy to obtain. I would try 15 to 25mg at first, better to go too low than too high. But I usually took 50-75mg(depending on what I was mixing it with and what my goal was), but I'm sure I had developed some tolerance to it, both from years of mixing it with opiates(not everyday, or anything, just whenever I got prescribed some or ran into some), and that when I had it I would basically use it everyday until I ran out.

And this is completely unrelated, but promethazine was actually the first time I could remember getting "high", and being aware that a drug was changing my state of consciousnesses, I had faked being sick to not go to school when I was about 8, but my Mom made me go to the doctor, and he gave me a shot of promethazine in the ass, and I remember enjoying it, and just laying in bed totally relaxed drifting in and out of a nap, basically nodding. Also remember shortly before that my school had put out a lot of drug propaganda for "Red Ribbon Week"(my elementary school was big into that, they even wrapped red ribbons over basically anything they could at the school, and made a big ordeal out of it) and I guess because I was in a high enough grade then but they dedicated significant class time to it(can't remember if we talked about it in class in grades previous to that at all), and I just couldn't put my mind around something you ingesting changing how you "feel" or even the concept of addiction. And after that shot of promethazine in the ass it just clicked, I was like "this is why people do drugs".
