Welp, I've got a buddy swinging by shortly with half a 30mg Oxy for me, which should theoretically be 15mgs worth. I'm probably going to convince my other buddy to hit the pharmacy for me since I'm not old enough.

I've used hydrocodone before and have little to no tolerance to opioids from what I can tell (I can feel 5mg, 10mg is a decent buzz, 15mg gets me feeling good but not nodding and I've never tried anything higher due to APAP). I've used oxy one other time, taking two 10mg tabs orally less than an hour apart iirc. I questioned whether or not I was feeling it, passed out, woke up shivering/sweating my ass off and dry heaved in my buddy's sink. Yeah, I felt it.

My question is knowing that, what would an appropriate dosage for IV use? Since I'm only getting 15mgs worth, if I can get for example three 5mg doses or two 7.5mg doses out of it and be feeling pretty good as opposed to one 15mg dose that'd be better for me. I've IVed cocaine one time a long time ago, it was the day I took the two oxys after I had woken up and I had a horrible time. Yet I still have this "urge" so to speak.

Also, I understand the importance of harm-reduction but I don't need preaching. I'm well aware of the dangers of the needle, how to properly prepare a shot, addiction, etc. Tell me something I don't know if you're that concerned.
 
Umm what do you mean hit up the pharmacy? Like rob it lol?

How old are you btw? How many times have you used a needle? It sounds like you are very inexperienced and is definitely suggest NOT going down this route ...

If recommend just swallowing the oxy, usually people move onto the needle after exhausting other routes of administration because their tolerance is too high and they don't get high from just swallowing or snorting drugs anymore ..
If you are going to use a needle even though I highly recommend AGAINST it, I'd suggest doing two 7.5 mg shots though
 
don't use the needle it WILL consume you an almost inescapable pit that takes your whole life to fight off
 
Oral bioavailability (or % of drug that absorbs into bloodstream) is around 80% with oxycodone. Nasal is around 65%. So you are not gaining that much from the 100% that IV gives you, and it will wear off quicker so you will end up doing it faster anyway.
 
Oh also I feel I need to make a completely new post rather than edit the other one for this point............you are tolerant to 15 fucking mg of oxycodone for a good buzz and you want to start booting? Get real dude. You have a tolerance that most experienced users would kill for and you feel the need to make the risk of doing the drug about 100x greater.

Shit 15mg wouldn't tickle my ass hairs! Try 300-400mg a day to be normal, if you keep up you'll get there eventually, just be patient. Please step back and use some common sense and either limit what you're doing or stop altogether. Be Safe!
 
I'd recommend that you try to at least snort it before going the IV route. I've done Oxycodone through every route possible, and I highly preferred intranasal over IV (even with my needle fixation). I tried shooting the 30's like 8 times before finally realizing what a waste it was. The high lasted MAYBE an hour and no matter how much I shot I never felt a rush from it. I can honestly say I got a better rush snorting them.
 
I've said this a million times, but IV oxy is honestly pretty pointless. The vast majority of people, including myself, get no rush from oxy, just an instant onset. The bioavailability is already so high taking it orally, that you get no added benefit from IV'ing it.. just all the risks.

Also, use a micron filter if you're going to be shooting any pill.
 
There is absolutely no reason for you to shoot oxy, considering you have no tolerance to opiates and are incredibly inexperienced. I bet you're going to do it anyway tho, so please don't do more than 7.5mg in a shot. Even tho ibet you already shot the whole 15mg in one go.
 
Yes, I am sure he already has.

I am not going to just tell you oh don't do it...if you want to shoot IV oxy, you are going to do it eventually when you have the right equipment so hopefully if you haven't already then maybe some of these words will stick with you for future use. It is defintely not something you want to do more than once, a needle fixation will take you over very quickly and by surprise (all of the people who use a needle here will vouch for that and there are scientific reasons behind it)..this results from the almost instantaneous feel of whatever drug you are doing that you get.

The BA between taking it orally and IV are very close so you really lose that advantage with oxy. You say you are aware of all the risks of using a needle..make certain that you are. Some people will tell you (with all due respect Mr. Scagnattie) there is no reason to shoot Oxy but I understand why people do..there is something about feeling it so quickly....and of course, the curiousity.

Somethings to know about IVing...first with your very low tolerance I would start with 7.5 not 15mg....would be a total waste and you will probably just puke your guts up. Just remember that it really sucks that taking IV oxy as far as any feelings from it at all will only last a very short time. Since it does not have to clear all the obstacles that oral oxy does, it clears from your system much, much quicker...dont be surprised if all good feelings from it are completely gone with an hour (total waste..when you could spend the whole day feeling it from taking 2 7.5mg doses orally instead).

Make sure you keep everything as clean as possible. After you crush it as fine as you possibly can (and I mean like talcum powder) then add your sterile saline and mix it thoroughly. I then take a dental cotton and filter out the larger particles. After that, additionally run it through a 22 micron filter. This is an absolutely necessity with any type of pills...totally different than even hitting coke or H (which a micron filter is still your best bet...but with pills..you never ever want to do it without a micron filter.) If you dont believe it take a look over at the case studies section here...and I will try and link several link several people who have posted on horrible personal experiences of not filtering their pills and what the end result was..If you dont have a micron filter then just save your oxy til you get your hands on one or if you are determined to take it then take by mouth and get some more after you get a filter. It would really suck for your mom or dad or brothers and sisters to find you dead especially just before Christmas...be careful and safe.

Come back and let us know how your experience went and that you are ok.

Hey all, here's how it turned out. My buddy came by with the 30mg pill, broke it in half, and crushed half up FOR me (I thought he was crushing up his half). So I ended up sniffing it, had a wonderful time, bought another 30mg pill (I currently get them at $10 a pop which from what I'm hearing/experiencing is a pretty damn good deal) and split it with my other friend (who was going to buy needles for me at the pharmacy, I'm 17 for those of you who were wondering) and got even higher.

Another detail I forgot to mention is that I struggle with chronic back/shoulder/neck pain (trigger points, according to my physical therapist). The IV ROA appeals to me for instantaneous analgesia; self-harm for this reason leaves ugly scars that just WON'T go away whereas my tracks are gone or unnoticeable. But considering I don't have an Rx for any narcotics, I also enjoy getting high from them whenever the rare opportunity presents itself.

From what I'm reading here particularly concerning duration, I think I'll just stick to intranasal and if I ever feel as though I need the instantaneous relief I can have it. The half of you just reaffirmed information and anecdotes I already knew/heard, which isn't helpful to me though I appreciate the concern. I can tell you're great judges of character.

So you asked for advice, does that mean that you just went ahead and chose to ignore the parts that you didnt want to be bothered with?? ;)

I read and thoroughly considered every single reply here. Explain?

I asked for DOSAGE advice, not personal anecdotes and reaffirmation of information I've already gathered. So no, I didn't ignore it. I just considered it again and expressed my appreciation for any concerns any of you had.

Just curious if you got your hands on a micron filter and used it? (very important when shooting any type of pill)

I didn't shoot it, I snorted it. I never ended up even getting the needles because the experience was enjoyable enough and then some. I suppose it's more of a ritualistic thing, why I wanted them to begin with. Possibly even self-harm/recklessness which would be another discussion entirely.
 
Well good, I am so glad you decided to not shoot it at this point. Just please make sure if/when you do, consider a micron filter as important a piece of equipment to use as the syringe and needle....will save yourself alot of trouble most likely somewhere down the road.
 
You will get more from the drug if you take it orally. Snorting it has a lower bioavailability (less is absorbed) and IVing it has a way shorter duration. So you may need a little less to get high by IVing it, but if wears off in half the time compared to taking it orally which means you will just be IVing half the dose twice as often, making it pointless when you consider the risk/reward of engaging in such behavior.

If you still wish to IV it, get micron filters, bacteriostatic water, and DO NOT HEAT the shot. A 5mg dose would be a better starting point than 7.5, and you should still have somebody close by in case you get sick or worse from it.

There's more to it than that, but if won't elaborate further unless you ask again.

Scaggie speaks the truth! IV oxy is boring, and I have troubl fitting more than 2 Roxie's in a shot a once. It is just an instant onset, and the duration of IV oxy suckkkks. It lasted like 2-3hrs and after about 4 hrs I will be in withdrawal again . Honestly my favorite way to take oxy is by plugging it. It had the same BA as orally administration (80% ), and if I plug the oxy with empty bowels then the oxy hits harder and faster then oral and lasts the same amount of time 4-6hrs.

I get annoyed when fellow junkies tell me they love the rush of IV oxy. I'm like have you ever done IV hydromorphone?? Loll
