Hello all, I have tried to use the search engine in regards to this re-dosing question but they all seem to be talking to doing it 3-6 hours into the future. If I take my normal dose of IR oxy (30-45 mg), and about an hour later don't really feel high, what's peoples' opinions on the most efficient way of going about things? Waiting for tomorrow, taking another 10-15 mg, or what?

I don't know if it's food in my stomach or what but sometimes my usual range provides a great high and othertimes it seems to disappear after the initial euphoria of the first 20 minutes or so.


Thanks :D
 
First thing - Are you taking these orally or nasally?
Second - How long have you been taking opiates for?
Third - What mg are your pills? And do they have paracetemol in them?

BTW food in your stomach should not affect the Oxy IR working as it should.
 
Hey, these right now are the 512 percs, so yes they have APAP but I often do a CWE; Normally I have 10/325 vikes, so either way I am always taking them orally. I have been taking opiates on and off for the past two years
 
One thing you can do is drink a large glass of white grapefruit juice 45 min to 1 h beforehand that will slow the oxy's metabolism. Wait at least an hour before redosing. You should wait at least that long to see what the effect on you is. I've found that redosing at 1 hr gives the best result, but I wouldn't redose more than twice (3 doses total),
 
I've tried WGJ and tagamet before and found that neither seemed to have very pronounced effect on anything, but thanks for advice nonetheless.
 
You could try taking 10mg more with your usual dose. OR better yet try parachuting your usual dose, this may help.

Also as always do not exceed 4000mg of APAP in a 24hr period! Personally I would def not even go over 3000mg!

This is my plan for the next time I dose, but this question was more for one of those situations where I think I have dosed enough, and then it turns out I was mistaken. I am always debating what's more of a waste, the weak buzz I have at the moment or the extra pills I'll have to take at a diminished return.
 
Hi, sorry for late response, was only able to get on now..

As said already, try originally taking 10mg more with your usual dose than normal, wait an hour and see how you feel. After an hour the effects would not increase from that original dose, so as long as you feel okay, you would be good to take another small dose. Continue with the CWE, you don't want all that APAP in your system obv. Also the reason the grapefruit juice probably was not doing much was because of the small dosage... try 10mg more with the juice and you should notice a difference. Most of all, don't take too much, and stay safe! :)
 
Word, no worries on the punctuality thanks fly. Are you saying 40-50mg is a small dosage? lol it feels really high to me when compared to what it used to be...
 
That's tolerance I'm afraid man :( It sucks! Everyone starts off using small amounts, and quicker than you know it, you're needing double that just to keep pain away, let alone feel anything 'extra'. I hate to say this, but I could honestly take 300mg of Oxy IR orally and it wouldn't do a damn thing. It truly sucks ass. I was prescribed between 400-600mg a day ( I'm in the UK and they are not so strict over here with chronic pain patients ) along with 100mcg/hr Fentanyl Patches. I cold turkey'd the Oxy on Jan 17th and suffered with immense withdrawals for like 9 days before my body started adjusting to not having it, and just having the Fentanyl Patches instead. I haven't relapsed :) And have told my Dr's to remove it from my Rx's, which pleased them..

Anyway I'm rambling.. but..

If you feel that 40-50mg of Oxy is a big dose, then don't take that much, take your usual dose + 10mg more and see how you feel in like 45mins or so. If the effects are not to your liking take 20mg more. The only problem with doing this is, as I said, you build a tolerance, and pretty soon, your body expects and needs that amount of med just to feel normal ( dependance ), and if you don't then take it, withdrawals kick in. As long as you know what you're playing with when you take more than you should, and you keep it to a bare minimum, then you will be okay to have a bit of 'fun' every now and then. But take too much too often, and you'll pay the price. If you need any more advice/just want to talk send me a PM man, no worries, will be glad to help out. Will keep an eye on this thread too. Stay safe :)
