Multiple Opana 5mg IR not working for first time opana user

[Eedaoxyboy]

Hello - long time reader, first time poster. Had a bit a....disappointment yesterday. I usually do around 120-150mg of hydrocodone per day. Been off and on for years. Yesterday for the first time, I got ahold of 10 5mg instant release opana. After reading up on it a lot i got the impression that it was incredibly potent, that going up your nose was the best way to maimize the effects and that I should take it slow.....

So i took it really slow. First started with 2.5, waited 20 mins, nothing. Did another 2.5...felt a little something. Ultimately I wound up snorting 50 mg spaced evenly between Noon-10pm but never caught that heavy, warm and fuzzy feeling that I used to get from hydrocodone and oxycodone. I felt good, but not great at all. Could it be that my tolerance is too high from months of hydrocodone use? I was waiting anywhere between 20 mins and an 1.5 hours between 5mg doses. I also took 1mg of xanax too and smoked some sativa. I counted on catching a good nod and feeling a typical opiate buzz, but instead i was compelled to do some projects around the house and went to be d much later than normal. Basically, is there a chance that these were fake opana? They absolutely looked authentic....

At one point I snorted 10mg in 30 minutes, I got a little relaxed, but again, no euphoria, just a mild relaxation and plenty of energy. Definitely nowhere close to a nod. Is this an atypical experience or is it more likely that I wasnt doing enough, or do you all think I might've gotten ripped off? Maybe I just need to do more all at once? I would very much appreciate any insight as I dont want to make an accusation of them being fake unless im sure.

testing grounds -> basic drug discussion

Eedaoxyboy, there is always that possibility you got ripped off. Its the risk that comes with the desired reward. Now, Opana. If I'm not mistaken, has been a target of the FDA for awhile. Constantly being taken off the shelves so a newer, less abusable, formula could be developed. A buddy from high school always had Opana readily accessible, until one of the formulation changes was put into effect. Two points, I'll try and be brief. One, during that recall period we saw so much fake Opana around, it was surreal. Lastly, when it did finally get back to the streets, people everywhere were getting pissed off. Due to the new anti-abuse formula your only real choice was to eat em, and even at that everyone said they were not up to par. People immediately wanted to go back to the old railing habit but nope. So, I hate to kind of leave you still in the same predicament of bewilderment but I figured I could shed my limited experience with Opana with you.
