mixing oxycodone with cocaine daily

[Poppa'_$murfxXx]

i have been useing cocaine for the past year, yesterday after i used a g in one night (rare occurance) i took a 10 mg oxy to help me sleep(which i have hardly any tolerance for) today i did maybe a .1 of cocaine and then took another 10 mg oxy.

1. Is what im doing as dangerouse as they say about mixing downers with uppers? Or since i have been taking small dosages at a time its unlikely i will die as a result.

2. I know the answer to the above is probibly: since im taking them in small dosages, and not every day i will almost certainly not die. (2 times a week starting now [however in the past i used only cocaine aproxamitly everyday missing a few days here and there])

3. My friend told me that i can do cocaine every day and not die, as long as i dont do too much at once and OD. otherwise its relativly benign, like drinking coffee. But im paranoid and i fear i may have a rare occurance and die suddenly as a rusult. (i have no reason to worrie of such a thing, im just rlly paranoid because of howmuhc iv done in the past.) How worried of this should i be??


(KEEP IN MIND I DO PURE COCAINE +90%, AND I NEVER DO MORE THAN ONE GRAM IN A DAY. AND IF I DO I USAULLY TAKE A DAY OR TWO OFF.)

i highly doubt it is that pure of cocaine..... are you from south america???

Ive done pure speedball (cocaine + heroin ) Snorted, and ive never felt the slightest discomfort.

the doses you are taking are harmless.

Ive also smoked a gram of crack and done 2 oxy 80's in a night and been fine.

the oxy is great for coming down off the blow, but it all depends on tollerance, method of administration, purity, and other contributing factors.

but like i said, your dosage seems harmless to me, just dont do more oxy than you think your tollerant too, and use it for coming down

^ saying it's harmless is just silly but I agree that it's WILDLY unlikely you have anything near 90% unless your house is in the middle of a cocaine processing plant in rural Bolivia.

You're not at risk of serious acute dangers at those doses but you're still putting a lot of stress on your heart using it that regularly. You're not going to die tonight doing this but it doesn't mean you aren't setting yourself up for problems down the road.

Also keep in mind how frequently levamisole is being used to cut cocaine these days - most believe it's still found in small, USUALLY harmless amounts in cocaine but if you're doing it this regularly, it's going to accumulate and is more likely to cause the very serious health effects it could.

Check the news for recent reports of 'flesh-eating cocaine' and all that. Obviously when media use terms like 'epidemic' it sensationalistic exaggeration but that doesn't mean the risks from cocaine cut with levamisole are not VERY real.

I don't know where you are from, but 90+% Cocaine is EXTREMELY rare in the United States unless you purchase in kilos.

Even then, I've heard it's cut more than that before it even enters the country.

You're right; the small doses are unlikely to cause any serious complications. Still, the combination of Oxy with Cocaine carries some of the same risk as a normal speedball. As long as you're in good health, you should be ok.

By the way, you're friend is wrong. For one thing, cocaine constricts the blood vessels and increases blood pressure. Increased blood pressure has a direct correlation with increased morbidity and mortality. Some of the problems can include changes to the structure of the heart, stroke, and a heart attack. Additionally, there are problems such as malnutrition and psychological addiction.

This is not a benign drug. Drugs are never benign and they all have side effects. Have fun and be safe.

We don't know what the purity of your cocaine is, but, as others have mentioned, its probably nowhere near 90%. I don't care what your dealer told you, that's just the name of the game.

I'm going to edit the title of your thread to remove the term "(quicky)".

This, really. You will be putting your heart under a lot of strain by using daily. Cocaine is especially bad for the heart as it is a vasoconstrictor, so it constricts the blood vessels supplying your heart while simulatneously having a stimulating effect and causing it to beat faster (ie allowing less oxygen to reach it at a time when it needs more oxygen) Hearts become damaged fairly quickly anyway especially with the Western high-cholesterol, sedentary lifestyle.. also cocaine will be raising your BP (blood pressure) which also puts strain on your heart and blood vessels, and you really don't want to have elevated BP all day on most days...

Using a substance daily rapidly stops being fun too; I'm glad you take a few days off, but watch for it creeping in and becoming an addiction. Do you think it's having any detrimental effects on your health/mind? Have an honest think! Stims can make people depressed, paranoid, irritable, lose weight and generally not get a nutritious diet, miss out on sleep (altho I see you are using an oxy for sleep.. again be aware daily use of opiates cn sneak up on you, you might find you need to take 20mg when your tolerance builds, then 40mg, then before you know it you'll have an oxy habit...), alienate friends.. also how do you feel on your days off? Any come down or negative effects?

I'm sorry if I sound like I am lecturing, that's not my intention and not what you came on here for but it makes me worried when people take drugs as often as that, and I just want to make sure you know what you are doing and are as safe as possible

In answer to your question, as others said taking 10mg oxy will not have any dangerous effects after taking cocaine. Amazed it helps you sleep though, I find it pretty speedy! If I were you I'd look for a less addictive alternative such as a sedating antihistamine, or rotate it with zopiclone/zolpidem or a benzo to prevent tolerance building, but that's just me.

This is a load of crap.

The damage caused by cocaine isn't acute and temporary, but rather can accumulate over time. Its toxicity (in terms of edema and fibrosis) to cardiac tissue occurs EVERY time you use it, accumulates over time, and is occurring even if you're asymptomatic (this has been confirmed by MRI studies.) While edema can subside, fibrosis does not recover and accumulated over time.

Most people think "hey, I'm young and healthy, this isn't going to catch up to me until the future" when in fact, heart attacks and strokes in young, healthy cocaine users occur because of arterial spasm, not atherosclerosis (plaque buildup and hardening of arteries.)

Add cigarettes to cocaine use and your risk of arterial spasm (and a resultant heart attack or stroke rises tremendously)

Add alcohol to cocaine use and the resultant chemical (cocaethylene) is significantly more cardiotoxic as well as being toxic to multiple other organ systems (such as your liver, kidneys, etc.)

There is a lot of scare mongering among the anti drug crusaders out there, and much of it is total crap. However, with cocaine and the random chance of certain circumstances its totally possible to experience a heart attack and/or sudden death.

That's really interesting - I knew chronic cocaine abuse could damage the heart but the stuff about the MRI studies is fascinating. Might look that one up later, thanks

QFT.

Had forgotten about cocaethylene - I know alcohol enhances the cocaine high, but please don't drink with it, especially with your level of use!

A study has found that possibly 1% of all myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) are caused by cocaine (altho figures vary) and it is especially common in young people.

If you are geeky:

NSFW:

"Cocaine use may lead to the development of acute myocardial infarction, but the incidence of infarction is difficult to determine, and varies widely in the literature. Some, but not all, studies suggest that cocaine hastens the development of coronary artery atherosclerosis. However, the most plausible mechanism for the development of myocardial infarction in the cocaine user is coronary artery spasm at a time when oxygen demand is increased due to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure that are accompanied by platelet activation, and together culminate in coronary artery occlusion, particularly if the patient has underlying coronary artery disease"

This particular finding is quite recent, in fact I just read the journal article in the BMJ a couple of weeks ago (abstract)

Thank you!

I read the BMJ sporadically, should read it more really...
