Hey all, me and my friend have just bought some Oxycontin - 2x10mgs each - and I was wondering if it is worth bypassing the time release function? I have never had an opiate of this level ever before only tramadol, kratom and codeine(which doesn't seem to work for me) and nor do I plan on doing them again, to be honest I just want to try them. Anyway seeing as I have no tolerance to opiates and don't plan on doing these again would it be worthwhile to bypass the mechanism in order to get the most out of my experience with them?
 
Anyone? I just want to now whether it is worth crushing it up and bombing or whether I should get the satisfactory high if I just eat it with the release function seeing as I will have no tolerance.
 
with a low tolerance just taking 20mg the way it's supposed to be taken would feel very nice and last a whole lot longer than if you tampered with the time release
 
If your opiate naive just eat them as is. If you crush them up & "parachute" them it will hit you much faster & harder. Which will more than likely equate to a night of you puking & dry heaving. Not very fun trust me it's an experience I had early in my opie career, wish I would've just left it at that. Also as someone mentioned before the high will last much longer if taken as is. Now that i'm thinking about it the only 10mg brand name Oxycotin I'm aware of is IR, same with the generic 10mg oxycodones for that matter. So you may actually have IR Oxycotin, I strongly advise you to take them orally as is.
 
just to make sure you really have oxycontin because they do make 10mg oxycontin which would be controlled release they would either have OC or OP written on one side of the pill if not you probably have IR oxycodone in that case try taking just one and wait 45min to see if you feel good enough off just that because you can always take more but you can't take less
 
Ah, didn't think they changed the 10mg oxys to OPs as well. Been years since I messed with actually oxycotins. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought before the change to OPs the 10mgs were IR only?
 
From what I've read only 30%-40% is released in the first hour with regards to OC type, so wouldn't that mean that no more than 6-8mg would be in my bloodstream at one give time? If so that seems very low.
 
6-8 mg is plenty for what? I'm sorry but its still a pretty scant amount for no tolerance. You say you have done codeine, well 60 mg of codeine is about 5-6 mg of oxycodone, to give you an idea. Since you have taken codeine you can base it off that. IDK what everyone is so concerned about here, all are preaching don't break the time release but guarantee put each one of them in your shoes and they do the exact opposite. Your not going to OD on 20 mg of oxycodone. And unless you got a real weak stomach you won't be throwing up from it either.

If you want to be careful then I'd chew up 1 and wait for it to hit me then chew up the other. And this is just to avoid taking too much that it makes you nauseous. Some people are more prone to it than others, depends, I for one rarely vomit and opiates never make me nauseous. But other people seem to throw up every time they get high. For some people its like a necessity to get high, they just know its coming and deal with it.

Simply put the answer is yes, it would be worthwhile if your goal is to get as high as possible off 20 mg of oxycontin. I assume you came her to get a question answered, not to be lectured on the dangers of addiction. So that is it, but obviously its a trade off, you can eat them whole and they will last around 8 hours and the high will be about 1/2 as intense. Or chew them up and its more intense but ends sooner.
 
Maybe it's because I don't chase the high and only dose once a day or so, but after 3 years, 20 mg of oxy still catches me a small buzz. It would have me wasted if I never messed with the OP 80's. they killed my tolerance. Everyone reacts differently. I think it's safer to err on the side of caution.
 
My goodness but why in the world would they bother making a time release drug in such a small dose? Geez, 10mg over, so they claim, 12 hours gets you next to nowhere. Just an observation but any pain patient in actual need of the medicine would be waving in the wind, so to speak.
 
Ended up doing 20mg and was very far from doing much... seems I'd be better from doing 20mg oxycodone atraight away
 
They are for minor pain issues and the elderly who don't metabolize it very fast and can't handle large amounts due to kidney issues.

I always kept my dosages down, too, even after 2 years on and off addiction 20 mg could get me going for a short time, but after switching to H a 30 mg doesn't even hit the spot. I dose like 3-6 times a day with oxy, too. I've always snorted em, tho, eating 20 mg did nothing even when snorting 20 mg was enough. IDK why, instant gratification is very important to me i guess. But even before I was an addict and would do the old oxycontin like a few times a year, so no tolerance, I would snort 20 mg and never thought it was too much. But it got me lit for a whole night and into the next morning I'd be feeling good.
 
First time I tried OC I had a 20. I snorted 10mg's and ate 10mg and experienced the best euphoria of my life. I separated the 10mg doses by about an hour or so.

So YES it is worth it. The slight kick from snorting it will give a non opiate tolerance person a rapid increase in euphoria. It's like the smell of the oxy makes you feel good.

When I swallowed 20 mg's I was nodding in and out for over 8 hours! It's amazing how well oxy works the first time someone experiences it.

Just make sure you don't take to much or you'll throw up. One 10mg pill up the nose will get you high for sure.
