Hi peeps, a friend gave me some MS Contins to try out and I'm just wondering what's the best way to take them? Can I bite them in half and just take them that simply? They are only 5mg Tabs and I've got no experience with Morphine apart from the odd occasion that I've been in hospital after surgery ect.

Thanks in advance!
 
how many do you have? I'd if I wanted to get the most of a bunch of 5mg mscontin (I didn't even know they made them that low), I'd crush up 10 - 15mg worth and plug it (assuming I had no tolerance, obviously adjust dose to tolerance, though bear in mind that morphine only dissolves 60mg/1ml iirc).

personally I believe taking them orally would be a waste, as morphine has a low (30%) bioavailability). You'd need to eat 6 - 10 tablets to get a decent high.
 
Crushing 1 or 2 of them up into a powder, tipping the powder into a 5 ml needle-less syringe, sucking up some warm water, leaving them to dissolve for 20 minutes, and squirting the resulting medicinal mixture into one's backside would be my advice.

If you have no opiate tolerance, 5mg or (more likely) 10mg should give you a nice feeling indeed.

I'd definetely not even think about injecting them. While it's true that when injected it will have a high BA than when plugged, when prepping an IV shot from MS contin you lose a certain percent of the morphine, making plugging just as effective, and a much easier (and safer) method of administration. :)

I don't want to encourage injecting, but my experience is that plugged morphine has a highly variable BA (although an excellent duration, up to 12 hours), and that all but maybe 5% of the morphine content can be removed from the pills when preparing them for injection if you filter and wash them properly (which is, granted, something that takes a lot of practice to get down pat). Just my experience.

I would however, definitely agree with you that plugging is the best ROA for someone taking morphine who's never used opiates before - moving straight to injecting is highly unadvisable for a list of reasons too long to go through here.

Just make sure when plugging it that you get it a good inch or two up there and lie on your side for a few minutes, to avoid leakage.
 
Not trying to sound like I'm doubting, but what are you basing the 95% figure on? It just seems so very high for a crude method...
 
The effect of the dose taken compared to other opioids taking their relative potency into account, or other preparations of morphine. I could be off a bit either direction of course, it's not precise, but I know my pharm opi's well enough to know that you don't lose that much if you prepare it properly and carefully (of course doing so takes time and practice, and the multiple washes involved mean I needed a minimum 5ml barrel, ideally 10ml with a butterfly clip) . The effect is certainly much stronger than plugging (I plugged the 100mg mscontin's a few times and then, when my tolerance had at least doubled over 6 months later, I shot the same dose of the same preparation and received a stronger effect).

Of course there are a lot of variables at play. Plugging gives a much longer duration (about double, 5 - 6 hours for IV compared to 10 - 12+ for plugging), so it could just be that plugging can potentially give a similar overall BA, but the slow release and/or absorption means that it feels weaker because you've got less in your system at any one time. And I say "can" because my experience with plugging has always been that the potency varies quite significantly from dose to dose (and with opioids, I'd imagine you have to take into account that binge or habitual use can make emptying your bowels difficult, which is generally held to result in losing some or all of the dose). I've never plugged them frequently enough to find out if this is a factor, but anyone who has (I know who you guys are :p ) I'd be curious to hear your experiences.

This is all theoretical anyway, as anyone using such low doses shouldn't even consider IVing them.
 
Got a heap of green ones OC 80's, the old formula too, but I remember throwing up forn 6 hours on just half a 30mg one, don't wanna experience that again, what would cause such a nauseas reaction all 5 times I tried it and how can ppl whack these 80s up without dropping?! I don't want my partner to mistake em for xtc or panadol how do I get rid of em?

Some people are just more susceptible to nausea on opiates. I had an extensive career with them, and I had to take anti-nausea meds with every single dose or I'd throw up 9 times out of 10. Hell, for the first 2 years on suboxone I'd randomly throw up once or twice a week.

Take 5mg of promethazine with the oxy (pop the pill 30 min before dosing the oxy) and try a lower dose of oxy.

Like any drug, tolerance. Before I started shooting I was necking 5 40's at a time to get high (after swapping to the needle I only needed 2 - 2 & 1/2), I had to crush them all up into a giant pile of powder then pour it into 2 or 3 the largest size gelcaps I could find, when originally a single 20 would make me throw up. Just the nature of the beast.

Well it would be pretty hard to mistake OC80's for pingers or panadol, but the best way to avoid that would be to tell your partner what they are and not to take them, or put them somewhere only you can access (not as in ''hidden behind the junk in the top desk in your drawer, where anyone snooping would find them and be curious,'' put them in a safe to which only you have the key, if you share a living space with your partner).

As for getting rid of them, crush them up into a fine powder and snort lines of it (or swallow the powder if you prefer), taking the promethazine first like I mentioned (it will enhance the sedating effect of the opiates, so be ready for that). 10mg is a good start (if you don't have scales, divide the powder into 2 equal piles of 40mg, then divide one of those piles into 2 equal piles of 20mg, then divide one of those into 2 equal piles of 10mg - not exact, but you gotta work with what you have, 10mg is safe enough that 50% either way isn't going to be too bad), and you can always add another 5mg at a time if you need more. It's a great way to pass a chilled out afternoon (or turn an intolerable family/work event into a carefree haze), but addictive as all hell, so be warned. It would be easy to slip into a habit if you have a lot of them.

If you just feel they're too strong and you can't take them, then put them back where they came from or flush them down the toilet. Problem solved.
