I don't get euphoric from Oxycodone

[Moonmixer]

My opiate use started with a low dose of codeine on top of a roof of a Ben and Jerry's with a couple of friends. That experience was extremely euphoric, just looking at the trees and the beautiful sunlight bouncing off of them. (It literally seemed to "bounce")

Next, I tried hydrocodone in the form of Vicodin. I had very similar effects with this, albeit with a greater body high (warmth, fuzzy feeling).

Finally, I was able to get hold of some Oxycodone, which I had always heard touted as the greatest of all pharmaceutical opiate painkillers. I don't remember what my first experience was, but that might have been because I had a low dose, just to be cautious. The first I remember was one time at which I had taken 30 mgs in the wee hours of the morning after a heavy night of studying. My friend put on a video and I laughed my ass off, after which i promptly nodded off until noon the next day. However, even that time I did not experience euphoria nearly comparable to any of my codeine or hydro experiences. The only other time of note is when I took 10 mgs along with two benadryl before class.

Does anyone else not get the oh-so-revered oxy euphoria? Am I doing it wrong? Do I have a hidden tolerance, because of my use or just to this drug specifically? (It should be said I have always taken it in very friendly situations with friendly people, and that I have never taken it more than once every two weeks, in order to keep tolerance low)

believe me your theres not anything different about you. Oxycodone is euphoric, next time do it without falling asleep, at least 20-25mg. Also i would like to tell you oxy definetly isnt the king. Id say hydromorphone, oxymorphone, fentanyl and heroin beat it, but hey, thats just me

 

[SlayerAus]

in its original state, oxycontin is controlled release....did u chew it or crush it to break the control release??

 

[HighonLife]

^^ he said oxycodone and could easily have gotten percs or roxies which arent time released

dunno what to tell you as far as not feelin "it" off Oxy cuz Oxy is nice but Oxy def isnt king of Pharm painkillers. hydro and oxy morphone are better, so is fentanyl but fent isnt as euphoric IMO

 

[Cadeblue]

This happened to me also. I have always used hydrocodone. I have now been prescribed Oxycontin, which I know is time released, but it doesn't do "anything" for me either. I am going to see if I can switch to Oxycodone & also up my dose & we'll see what happens.

Ya dude if you pop 30mg your very first time chances are you are missing the euphoria because you are nodding out. Lower your dose and try again. Even still though I never really noticed the warm fuzzy blanket until I required the drug to stay out of withdrawal. Then I felt the relief.

I guess to me the oxy euphoria is different because its an energetic euphoria. You'll find yourself talking for hours about whatever but, really not too much of the warm opiate dream everyone thinks it will be. If you want to feel the drug expand into a blanket of everythings cool become an addict

I can't feel euphoric off of oxy either. When I get aggressive with dosing trying to find that land of happiness and internal quietude I just get frustrated and itchy. Only the first time I dosed into the 1/4 gram range did I ever get a nod and a satisfying high. That was years ago and only happened once.

Other opiates/oids are much more euphoric, much more dopey and happy. That's why oxycodone was/is written for so heavily by doctors. At reasonable doses among reasonable people the effect profile is a lot like other narcotic analgesics. As the dose goes up and the behavior of the fiend is introduced (always trying to nod off, get super high) the drug oxycodone goes right out of style because it can't deliver. This has made it safer to write for than morphine or other traditional narcotic analgesics would be in equivalent doses.

I'd destroy myself with irritability and scratching and sleeplessness with grams of oxycodone before I find a nod these days. Gimmie a hundred milligrams and change of morphine or heroin though...


See it comes down to how you define euphoria. Oxycodone makes me feel very "up" very quick but not very happy(in fact it can destroy my mood). Euphoria for me is happiness, bliss, a powerful sensation of agreeability with my environment. It's why I take opiates. A lot of people interperet the oxycodone "up-y" "speed" as a "euphoric" "rush" which is the same lexicon heroin users describe their experience with, but the feeling each word is attached to is very different between the two drugs.

Oxycodone is (IMO) one big famous popular taboo letdown. It's the dope that's everywhere because they want it to be everywhere. For the people in control, I'll theorize, a population strung out on oxy is preferred greatly to a population strung out on clandestine narcotics that actually produce euphoria.

Heroin is so good people drop out of life to do it; oxy is almost so good that people almost drop out of life to do it. They keep their shitty jobs and rough homes and all of it. This way they don't become a burdon to the tax system *cough-rich-asshole-complaint-cough*, they keep paying into industry, and most importantly they can keep buying more oxycodone to barely soothe their pain, to almost make them feel okay. Can't have people feeling okay or they'll stop playing.

I'm not taking sides or anything, this is just how the picture looks to me so far. Don't expect to get "traditional-opiate" high on oxy. Especially after you've played for a while.

Personally I get a lot more euphoria from Norco/Vicodin (Hydrocodone) then I get from an equivalent dosage of Oxycodone. I was prescribed 60mg's of Oxycodone a day for quite awhile and I honestly had wished that I was still on 60mg's of Hydrocodone a day instead. For me Oxycodone really just makes me very uppity/speedy. That's what the Oxycodone high dose for me. It makes me very speedy and energetic, kid of itchy, and not so fuzzy, happy, euphoric. I hadn't taken it in a long time because it just wasn't my DOC for pain control anymore & the other day I found a few left over 40's I had & took 3 of them. 120mg's of Oxycodone and I had minimal pain relief and no euphoria. I just think Oxycodone doesn't work that great with my body chemistry.

I'm currently on 24mg's of Hydromorphone a day now in the form of 6X 4m'gs a day. These are MUCH better for me when it comes to pain control & euphoria/all around good feeling. Hydromorphone is a beautiful pain killer, clean, & the euphoria is amazing for me. I'd never trade my Dilaudid RX to get back my Oxycodone RX. To each his own I guess but I found what works for me an my body chemistry. I don't think your weird at all for not really feeling euphoric from Oxycodone. It really doesn't do it for me either. I think Oxy just got so much media hype for so many years people have there brains wired that its "The King" of prescription opiates which it is far from. IV Hydromorphone makes IV Oxy look like a baby's pain killer.

^ I agree with that. It certainly can change my mood for the worst too. Sometimes ill be at work just loving what I'm doing and the ability to energetically and effortlessly get shit done that any interruption sends me over the edge. Haha oxy will certainly get ya raging with the quickness.

Very true and one thing my fiance has noted to is that im absolutely "lovey dovey" when I finally get some pain relief from my medication and can relax EXCEPT when I was taking Oxy. Even when I'd finally get that sigh of pain relief Oxy just made me have this agitated feeling & would really make me a little smart ass who acted like a dick to people. I swear i'm not the only person either that mentioned that Oxy makes them act like an ASS. When my Hydromorphone starts working I just want to cuddle up with my Fiance and smile because I finally have some relief and I feel good. I mean my morning dose of 8mg's just started working and I'm feeling really good at work right now. I'm happy and just doing what I gotta do looking forward to a long weekend for the 4th of July.

Oxy makes me angry too. Especially in traffic^

That's weird that everyone thinks hydromorphone is better than oxy. If your shooting it I hear it's great, but when I had a script for hydro I would have traded it for oxy in a heart beat.

Back on topic, I've had times where I don't feel the euphoric effects of oxy, and other times where I never want the experience to end. I don't know why it happens, maybe they were fake. I do however feel better on a mg per mg basis on hydrocodone than oxycodone. If you like that and codeine better stick to those. They're probably cheaper too.

Oh man forget about traffic. I'm fucking raging!

Hydromorphone is FAR better for me for euphoria & analgesia but it can't be a "just take 4 right now" and get high kind of thing. The oral BA of it is far too low. But it does work orally if you let it build up in your system and it provides great analgesia for me as well as a very nice strong content feeling. I have to be taking it on time every day for a few days for my body to build up a good amount of it to where it works great orally. I think the problem people have is they just get like 4 pills from a friend and eat them and get mad they aren't smacked in the face by a hardcore opiate high.

Im' given 6X 4mg's a day for the month. So 180 of them and I promise you they work just fine eating them when you take theme very few hours throughout the day. If not I would of switched back to Oxy because the pain I get is so ridiculous I couldn't handle it without pain control. I just spent the weekend in the hospital though & IV'ing Hydromorphone is by far THE KING of prescription pain killers. 3mg's IV'd Hydromorphone is such a rush & instant pain relief for hours. No pain killer is more commonly used in U.S. Emergency Rooms than Hydromorphone. Less side effects and safest pain killer we have available to give to people IV. I use it daily at work for patients & I use it daily for myself for pain control. Hydromorphone is definitely my number once choice for opiate pain relief and euphoria.

It is true the pills are nothing like the IV formulation but it is simply because it takes more and a consistent dosage to build up enough in your system to equal out to the amount you get when IV'd. Also getting that high dose put into your system "instantly" when IV'd produces a rush of euphoria and pain relief you could never achieve waiting for pills to absorb.

All this is great to know. I guess part of my letdown is due to the fact that all the people on my school are the type of uninformed drug users that would never go on a website like this. Next time I'll get some Vicodins. Although now I can see where that Oxy buzz would be nice.

 

[serenity_in_dope]

I've been IVing 15 mgs of the Oxycodones lateley and I agree that they totally lack the "dope" rush that I sooo often crave. But its weird because if I recall correctly it was the blue ROXIcodones that were giving me that killer dope rush that I desire...

I IVed a 4 mg dilaudid...the one with the big ass M on it and my GOD the rush was insanley intense...just like morphine.

So I get a little confused sometimes and is it just me or are the green oxycodones not as potent as the white and blue ones??

 

[xtrailer]

sometimes the company u're with plays a big intergral role in how euphoric you'll be.

If u just took oxycontin and stoned at home alone u'll be bored to tears but u'll experience a nice relaxed high. However if u've your galfren or some buddies around and u can chat with them...you'll loosen up and really have a good time with them. It will be all good.

 

[GlassAss420]

So try some heroin..

ohh the company definitely plays a big role.

but i had the opposite experience tonight. i was chilling with some of my friends and a couple of us got some 80's and damn i've never been so annoyed in my life, but once i was on my way home with one of my friends that didn't take any oxy and right when we left i felt way better and actually euphoric , so euphoric i basically invited myself to go to his house tomorrow lol and now i'm home and i still feel somewhat euphoric, but i took roughly 45 mg too (which is kinda allot IMO because i don't have the highest tolerance and this shits expensive).

but yea usually hydrocodone is stronger mg for mg compared to oxy to me. except when i get mallinckrodt (generic) norcos, i have to take 80mg of those and i still don't even feel like sick at all, and when i take 4 of the yellow norcos i puke like 9 outta 10 times.

Of course oxy makes you euphoric. Theres no denying that. Though it is also true that many factors play a role here. From the company youre with to the place youre at, mood you are in and so on... I have had the same experience with dope, good dope but no euphoric feeling because I was in a weird mood and I just got more pissed. Or I already had some tolerance and could not hit the right dosage. Though it is true that there is one thing I noticed with oxy that surprised me. After a while of using (two weeks binge for example, even less), I found out that I had a much much harder time experiencing the euphoric feeling than with dope, where with good dope you can simply take more and still get a nice warm buzz. With oxy, I dunno, but somehow it just screwed more with my dopamine production ro something.
And if you start nodding shorty after taking it, you took too much period. IMO a complete waste. But if you have tolerance that often happens sadly.
And never snort it. So stupid. Actually Ive read a few posts here where people got significantly less high by snorting than by crushing and swallowing. So wash the coating off (for whatever thats worth), crush (you must) and swallow with water. Dont parachute, completely pointless because you already crushed it.
