So I apologize if there is a thread on this but I'm using my cellphone and its hard to navigate.

So here's the deal: I have taken Hydrocodone on random occasions in the past maybe 2 or 3 times.
Recently I was prescribed 120 10/325mg.
I went on a binge for exactly 5 days.

Day1 - Starting dose: 30mg and then 20 more mg spaced out over the next few hours.

Day 2 - Starting dose 35mg and then 20 more mg over next few hours.


---this basically continued until I was dosing about 70mg and then up to a maximum of 100mg total throughout the evening for the last couple days

So here's the problem. I can't feel this shit anymore!!

I get a small buzz and minor euphoria for a little bit but its almost nothing.

I took a 2 day break, and then this morning at 11:30AM dosed 40mg of daytime Delsym.
I then Dosed 70mg of Delsym again at 4:00pm and took another sip right before eating 50mg of hydro.
Barely felt anything so I took about 80mg total over the next few hours.

Still barely feel shit.
So what I am doing wrong?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Additional info: I CWE.
I crush the hydros, add 1/4 to 1/2 glass of water. Put in freezer until barely cold, then filter through dress shirt or coffee filter. (Sometimes I skip the freezer part.) (Rarely)

Also today I didn't CWE just in case maybe I was doing it wrong.

So Idk What the deal is.

Did I take too much DXM? Am I doingthe CWE wrong?
Thank you :)
 
My best 2 pieces of advice regarding hydrocodone tolerance;

  1. Never dose 2 days in a row (if you need to take it daily for pain then use smaller doses on "off" days and your "high" dose once or twice a week) and try to keep your high to two days a week. Even that will keep your tolerance going up, but I understand that most people aren't able to cut down to less than once a week. Once a week should keep your tolerance stable though, so taking two weeks off to lower it and then keeping it to once a week is ideal.
  2. Don't redose. You never really get that much higher when redosing on hydrocodone, especially if it's been after it has peaked. All that it ever did for me was make me more tired and spaced out, on top of the pointless increase in tolerance.
 
I really appreciate the responses!

No redosing, got it.
Yes I do wet the filter.
I was also wondering if taking too much can kind of kill your buzz. I've heard of smoking yourself sober so Idk if the same would apply here. Just a thought.

I just can't imagine that my tolerance built that fast. To barely feel 70mg. I'm only 140lbs. Any other info?
 
It's all with how high you set the bar. I took 30mg of hydrocodone for a good year and it got me high the 2-3 days a week that I took it during that time. I would throw in an extra 7.5 for special occasions to get really nice, but it never really went up during that time. After a good year or so and after messing with oxycodone a bit I could barely feel hydrocodone, and others that I knew that moved on to oxy too said they were sort of "bulletproof" to hydros.

It's pretty impossible to maintain a habit where you get as high as you want each time. You need to sacrifice a lot of them by just getting a really nice buzz so that you have the other times where you can get really high.

The first place to start is to take a good 2 week break from getting high. If you can't make it that long then you are looking at problems in the future. Once the break is over then follow the rules I posted above and you should be good.
