I browsed a bunch of opana IR threads here, and didn't find any comparison between plugging and snorting Opana IR 5mg. If I missed it, sorry for redundancy.
My goal is recreational, and my tolerance is around an 1/8th of a 40-ER (so nasal blockage due to excess powder is not likely a concern)

Which one is more efficient (more bang per unit of pill)?

How do the highs differ?
(note that with Opana ER snorting feels more oxycodone-like and plugging feels more morphine-like, but this difference could result from absorption time as plugging--with water--causes some gelling, but I don't think the IRs gel)
 
Snorting, most definitely. It has a 43% bioavailability, where plugging produces approximately 10% bioavailability. You're right, I searched and this info isnt listed in the Bioavailability mega-thread, so I'll see that its added.

Snorting will reduced in a quicker onset of action and shorter duration.

Honestly, based on my single experiment I felt like the bioavailability was similar. 2.5mg of Opana IR plugged got me about as high as 2.5mg of Opana IR up my nose.

Alas, crushing, chopping and sniffing takes considerably less effort than cleaning out the GI tract, jamming an oral syringe up your brown-eye and squirting water up your colon. So I think I'll stick with sniffing my oxymorphone for now.
 
I'd be banging them IR's!

I've never touched a needle before, but honestly, after coming across these it did run through my mind (and I'd only need 1/10-1/5th of the pill per dose). I'll probably never have the opportunity again.

I decided against it simply because I would never be able to enjoy other ROAs again. If only there was a way to get 100% BA while not getting the IV intensity that will never be matched.

How about subcutaneous, or IM? I'd assume the intensity/hit would be closer to snorting than IV, but with 100% BA, right? I'd have to find microns either way though.

I'm with him on this one, but if you haven't picked up the needle yet don't start. I wish we had oxymorphone in Canada :(. Weird, I think this is one of the only opiate where plugging had a lower BA then snorting, what's with that? :|
 
Dakuu's first blathering post

Well I'm new to this forum, been on Pharmer.org for a while but, I think that site and those type of people are too ridiculously, strongly against recreational drug using. Hope this is as good a place to ask a few Opana questions then...

Ok well I recently just started taking Opana ER 10 MG Tablets (1 tablet twice a day [ currently waiting for my dr's reply to my request to increasing to 1 tablet 3 times a day]) last Tuesday.

Before the Opana I was on Morphine Sulfate 30MG ER taking 2 twice a day. Before that Methadone. My Dr. didn't like me taking Methadone anymore because of the unknown heart and lung degeneration it can cause on even the smallest dose, so even though it was working for me I switched to the Morphine (personally from a recreational stand point I didn't like the methadone, it was strictly for pain with no high available at all).

And I recently complained about the Morphine Sulfate increasing the frequency of my Migraines so moved to Opana. Plus it felt kind of weak and wasn't doing it for me pain wise. I did try plugging Morphine sulfate ER after chopping up like 4 30mg tablets into powder with a razor, didn't feel much. And tried snorting it as well, also didn't feel anything.

But man-OH-MAN... I can't believe how insane the difference in potency is between swallowing a 10MG Opana ER tablet and snorting it. Major difference, I love it. But ok here's my question... for me it's like, I'll snort about 75% of the pill and then... my sinuses kind of dry up and it all get's kind of... stuck-ish and dry, and feels like it hardens around the sinus walls, so I wondered if when that happens will that sort of act like a clog and not let anymore powder get absorbed after that point or no?

Basically I'm asking if there's a limit to how much you can snort at one sitting before the cabinet get's full and you need to dust the shelves? (or maybe I should try squirting a little water up there or something when this happens? idk)

And... I guess I also wanted to ask if aside from snorting the Opana is there a better way to increase the potency? I read that alcohol increases the oral route's potency from 10% to about 70% but does that mean I need to take the pill WITH alcohol or the alcohol and Opana just need to hit at the same time like if I drank a few shots of liquor then snorted some an hour later? And how much alcohol in the first place, enough to get drunk, just a few shots, any idea?

Ok lastly… I’ve been thinking about trying to IV the Opana (but of course I wouldn’t try unless I was 110% sure I knew what I was doing) but I heard Opana is like 100% IV proof so is Hydrocodone IV-able like… Norco, which is my BP med I have a small amount of. I always wondered where I’d get a syringe in the first place too… this one time I thought I saw some sort of diabetes kit that came with one but didn’t look into it.

Ok, I’m done rambling, I do apologize for the ridiculously long post, sorry, thank you.
 
Snort!!! Oxymorphone is amazing up the nose.

lol... I just realized I already posted here.

Dude, I am, I wanna know if having too much left over dried Opana powder in the nose causes a problem with absorbing more... and if those giant white Opana boogies have any med left in um should I eat them? lmao

I think the problem here is gelling, the Opana ERs are designed to 'gel' when contacting moisture to prevent abuse. You can't stop that but you can minimize it:

1) grind the pill very finely, preferably by rubbing against a hose clamp.
2) Before snorting, clear your nose out with a nasal spray (saline) THEN dry your nose out thoroughly with a twisted tissue.
3) Don't snort your dose all into one nostril, split it between both nostrils.

If this still doesn't work, then I'd recommend splitting your dose into 4 piles: snort one pile in each nostril, then wait 5 minutes or so, and snort the rest the same way. Your goal is to decrease the amount of powder in your nose AT ONE TIME.
 
I snort Opana ER all the time and I dont understand peoples complaints with the nasal clogging. Maybe it just isnt as noticeable for me, but I can rail an entire 40 mg pill at once and I feel like i still absorb it all. A few hours later I'll have to pick out a few small boogs but nothing huge that makes it to where I can't breathe through my nose. I think you're fine snorting it the way you are, even if it gets stuck in your nasal cavity you're still absorbing it from my experience.

I use saline.. then snort then use saline again... I also snort small thin lines.. not fat ones. I repeat small thin lines until I feel how I want to feel. It works and it gets more out of a pill :)

Same here, dude. I have never had a problem before. And people talk about removing the coating or something, but I don't even bother with all of that. I just take a hose clamp to it and it's good to go. The next day my nose might be clogged more noticeably than before, but it's not terrible, and a nasal rinse solution usually does the trick.
 
You may feel it, but...

As you know, methadone blocks other opiates. I think the best way to go is to wait until you feel the 'done wearing off, (at least somewhat), before using another opiate.
I am also thinking that, if one were to always wait before taking your next dose until the previous one wore off, it might help keep your tolerance down over the long haul. I'm assuming purely recreational use, of course. Has anyone practiced this method of control?
 
Hey, welcome to BDD and BL!

Thank you for your post :) however, this is an old thread and traffic moves fast in BDD, it's best to comment on current threads.. the OP is unlikely to return, and as we have a policy that everyone can start a new thread with their queries it is important not to clutter the front page up with old threads.

Take a look at the guidelines in my sig and the state of BDD sticky at the top of the forum, or feel free to contact myself or another member of staff if you have any queries :)
