My Oxy Tolerance

So started out on about a 20mg dose as suggested by fellow BL's,no other drugs apart from benzos (which are essential for me to already be on whilst taking oxy) anyway i used to get a nice nod off 20mg,this quickly escelated to 80mg which was at this point i began to smoke weed just as i was hitting the peak as for me this completed the 'nod' along with being on the benzos.

I realised i was no longer where i wanted to be so i quit,although every 2-3 months i would give oxy a try again but to my suprise my tolerance had not dropped and i could no longer reach the 'nod' so i quit again.

although sporadically using every now and then over the course of the next year,although i can find myself taking 160mg without any nod and even beginning to be able to act normally.

where am i going wrong? how can i safely get back to anywhere i once was? (i know 20mg is out of the question?!) my ROA is oral,crushed/chopped up as fine as possible using a razor blade and swallowed down with a drink. (btw there old OC)

Help appreciated.

Thanks.
 
First of all you lucky fuck with the old ocs, you must be in canada?

And i mean everyone is different you just seem to be superr unlucky. Thats crazy your tolerance doesnt go down at all after months of abstaining.

I hear the daily dxm thing works well so you could giv that a shot. Just therapeutic doses not recreational. And there are many potentiators that you can utilize, which im sure you know about since your a fellow bluelighter.;)

Other than that i dunno man your unlucky.

Edit: O thought of something. If oxy is costing you too much money maybe you could take a little more benzo than you normally do? Benzos potentiate alotttt as im sure you know.
 
@ --> "highhooked"

What would you say how many benzos I would have to take to incredibly potentiate, I mean my benzo tolerance is about 4 and I don't remember that day hah but unfortunately my opiate is popping 20 roxy 15"s to get somewhat desired effects like hah I've never used benzos before to potentiate would love a try
 
I'd say its a classic case of the opiate tolerance that wouldn't go away, some people never get it back down to the level it was at (zero) when they first started experimenting with opiates. My advice is to take a really long break...
 
^^ this. in addition, look into a NMDA antagonist such as DXM, nitrous, ect...


a good week off opiates and 75-90mgs of DXM a day really goes a long way for me

2-3months off oxy as said earlier makes very little difference to my tolerance and im concerned about using NMDA antagonists such as DXM as im on Sertraline (an SSRI)

Any saf potentiators other than Temazepam,Diazepam,Alprazolam and Nitrazepam andweed of course?
 
How long have you been using? Ive been using 1-3 times a week(ussually 2) for 6 years. I started with 40mg though after my first time as 20mg felt like a tease to me, high natural tolerance i guess. My tolerance doesnt change one bit after a month of not using i barely feel an 80. My ussual dose is 80-120mg. Doing 80 then a 40 an hour after.

I think my tolerance is permanent. Friends who had been using everyday for 2 years get higher than me on half as much. :( I would say i probably would need like 6 months off to notice a difference if i even do. Maybe your the same. Unfortunately. Cant say why.
 
For potentiation ideas:

Taking recreational dose DXM on a SSRI puts you at risk of serotonin syndrome. I don't actually know about therapeutic doses - but I bet your pharmacist knows, ask them :)

Apart from that, all I can say is what others have said - take a long break...
 
20 roxy 15's "to start"? Noddinoff may be right, they may be expired or something.No one who isn't ADDICTED or otherwise taking them constantly could even approach 200 mg of oxy(non time-released) at once and not be high, and to say 300 hardly has any effects after taking months off, when I know people who use a few times a month that would od off of that dose.Hell even I'd be a high as a kite a that dose, and I am an IV user...
 
My guess is that you our nasal bioavailability is what has suffered here. Try chewing one 80 and see what happens. If this doesn't work, try filling a 3cc syringe with warm water, crushing the 80 into FINE FINE powder, and plugging. If you don't feel that, the only logical step is to take a full year completely off of all, and I mean ALL, opioids.
 
all recreational use, started off using hydrocodone at age 15, using 30mg got me skyrocket high...graduated to oxycontin in 2002 at age 16, 40mg i was on top of universe hours on end..10years later, at the end of my opiate abuse 160mg IV oxycontin provided a blanket rush for a couple minutes, and a duration of a half hour....all recreational..i dont find oxycodone/oxymorphone good with pain anyways, when i was in a car accident 2yrs ago with no tolerance, i would get a buzz/high with oxy, but no pain relief
 
Oxy tolerance for me developed slowly, then became an exponential explosion of tolerance.

I was able to "get off" on 7.5mg of Oxy per dose for about a year and a half without really needing to increase the dose.

In the past 4 months, I've gone from 7.5mg/dose to 15mg/dose for about 2 months, then to 30mg/dose and now I can handle 45-60mg/dose for about the same level of euphoria. My tolerance does not seem to reset itself much either.
 
there probly a couple years old lol. some one cleaned out there dead grannys apartment and found them most likely. not trying to be a negative nancy but i dn if oxy goes bad but that could be your problem. also are you scratching off the time coating before you cut them up or whatever, cuz that would deffiatly make a diffrence,
There brand new straight from the doctor and i always scratch off the coating and crush them up and chop them into a fine a powder as possible using a razor blade and then swallow.

If you read the OP you will realise i NEVER snort any drugs so my nasal bioavailabilty should be fine.

And as said above and in the OP i always crush them up into fine powder and take them orally.

Tbh im not really into plugging.

Thanks for your imput anyway guys :)
