Opioids Is this too much hydrocodone for me?

I have 13 Norco 5/325s and I am thinking about doing them all at once, after doing a good CWE first, of course. For a total of 65 MG of hydrocodone
I've only taken hydro 3 times before. The first time was 15 mg, taken 2 weeks ago, didn't feel much. The second time was 30 mg and I felt very nice and euphoric, a week ago, and my most recent dose was 45 mg and I felt even better, little to no nausea as well and was about 3 days ago.
Would you think that 65 mg would be too high of a dose or would it even be worth it given my tolerance?
edit: forgot to mention I am 5'11'' and weigh 130.
 
If you take 45mg and crave a higher dosage, then 65mg should be fine. Worst case scenario, you get nauseous.

Note that increasing dosage is in line with heading towards dependency. Opiates/benzos are the only drugs that i would really provide this warning with.
 
Make sure you take any tolerance you might have built or lost into account, but you should be good, you can always do 3/4 your dose and wait 20 min.
 
Just wondering, why do you want to take such a high dosage having only taken Hydro 3 other times? You're obviously chasing that BETTER high, each time more & more, what's gonna happen is you'll quickly be graduating to the stronger stuff. Hydros won't offer you the high you want so you will seek out Oxys, then your ROA will probably change to IV, & you will be well on your way to heroin.

Just my opinion, but I've seen it before a 1,000,000,000 times.
 
Increasing your dose rapidly is a recipe for skyrocketing tolerance and possibly bad side effects like nausea/dizziness/not feeling good. Best to stick with 30 or 45mg.

^This. X5. With no tolerance 1 hydro used to catch me a sweet buzz. Chasing is going to make things worse.
 
You will be ok because a small amount will be lost in the CWE anyways, but these other people are right that chasing a better high is really not smart. Stick with the 45 or even lower because your tolerance will increase pretty dramatically, especially if you have went up so fast on your first few doses
 
First of all, your height and weight doesn't really have anything to do with it.. tolerance is the important factor, not body type, in determining the dosages one can handle.

LIke others have said, yes you'll most likely be safe increasing your dose by that increment..but your tolerance is going to quickly skyrocket. Soon the 65 won't do it and you'll come back asking us whether it's okay to start doing 100mg's. That's how this pattern goes.

It's better to take a break, give your body a time-out, and your tolerance a chance to drop... so then your usual dose will be sufficient again. Constantly increasing your dose to chase a desired effect is a recipe for disaster and addiction.

You need to do a CWE. Taking 4225mg of APAP (Tylenol) at once is very dangerous. 4000mg is considered an overdose.

Really? I would never do a cwe on such a small amount. I would hardly call it an "overdose". I mean technically, but.... "very dangerous" is a gross exaggeration IMO.

Anyways, OP did say a cwe would be done. I guess better safe than sorry, but I've never heard of washing such a small amout.

I don't think over 4000mg's of APAP should be considered a "small amount"..
 
What I'm saying is, if I were only working with 65mg hydrocodone I wouldn't be willing to lose any doing a cwe. I doubt 4 grams of APAP is gonna harm anyone.

Probably not with acute dosing, but it's not a good idea to just disregard the possibility of APAP causing side effects. The FDA doesn't set a "maximum daily dose" of 4g for no reason.
 
Others have covered the tolerance thing, and the possibility of OD, but as someone who's been to the farthest extremes of dosage with every opie including hydro let me say this:

I never felt much difference between 30 and 70mg of it, I only seem to get a certain amount of high, achieved by 6 or 7, the rest never seemed to effect me at all. Not that I didn't always take more.
 
When I started on norcos I was good on 20-30mg for the first couple months. People are different tho.
 
^ This is usually the case.

Hootar, keep in mind that you might have a higher opiate tolerance than others reading this thread, so everyone keep in mind that doses higher than 40mg of hydrocodone in the opioid naive individual can be seriously dangerous.

For a beginner, taking 10-15mg/day of hydro at once is best, but for an opioid user with a mild-moderate tolerance, 20-40mg/day of hydrocodone at once is recommended.
 
I Don't get why you would take that much? why make your tolerance higher than it needs too. I've been taking Hydrocodone and Oxycodone for 3 years now and I can take 40 - 60 MG and get a nice warm buzz. You shouldn't have only taken 30 - 45 MG. Glad you did the CWE Because you could have easily overdosed on APAP
 
Are you male or female?

Being 5'11" and only weighing 130 pounds is a little on the underweight side of things. I hope I don't offend you by asking this, but do you have an ED? I do, I'm a male, so I know this is odd... but at my worst I'm a purging anorexic... at my best I just forget to eat, not intentionally, but still don't. I had been up to 180 pounds last year (I'm 6'2" almost 6'3") and back in 2010, was down to 140. I know when I don't eat, I don't feel the drugs as much. My friend who was over yesterday and I were discussing this (she has an ED).... you HAVE to eat to create the neurotransmitters that get you high. It sucks, I know, but it's how our bodies work. Sorry if I stuck my nose in your business... but this could be why you need sooo much hydro (I'm an IV oxymorphone user now, but I miss the days when I was a healthy weight and two or three Loratabs would have me feeling great, so you needing such a high dose is very odd).

Edit: Sorry, I tried to send you a PM about this, but as a GL'er, I couldn't.
 
I would do a CWE on half your stash and eat the rest foray effect. The apap I believe potentates the effects a bit.

Don't be ignorant. That's a potentially dangerous amount of APAP to consume at one time. If you so choose to play Russian roulette with your life, so be it. Don't come here and recommend others do the same.

It astonishes me people still don't understand how seriously deadly APAP can be, despite the number of yearly deaths, despite the fatal consequences, despite ALL the people here telling people NOT to do it.
