Hey guys, Just a harm reduction issue here. I'm wondering. I've been using opiates (vicodin and percocet) for somewhere between 4-5 years. My tolerance should be fairly high right? I use everyday. If i don't i go into huge wd within 6 hours of my last dosage. I would think my tolerance would be higher than what it is. When I wake up I immediately do a 10MG percocet. a few hours later I do 5-10 more MG. It seems when i get to the 30-40MG dosage I start having breathing issues. or at least I think I am. I do have anxiety issues. Do you think as long as I've been using. Only a few days in the 4-5 years i've went without because of money or not being able to find any. Do you think my tolerance is higher than the 30-40mg but it just scares me to go higher and i throw myself into anxiety? I have only done 15MG this morning. 5MG when i first woke up at 530AM and then a perk 10 at 730AM (2 hours later) and my heart rate is increased and my breathing has slowed down greatly. Have opiates turned their back on me, or is my fcked up anxiety problems getting the best of me? I have done 60-90MG in one day before a few weeks ago and i didn't overdose but i did have an anxiety attack and went to the hospital. they gave me ativan and all was well the anxiety went away. that's how i know it wasn't an overdose. i'm just trying to make sure I stay safe and not overdose. I try to pace myself and spread my doses out throughout the day so im not doing massive amounts all at one time. I do a percocet every hour sometimes every couple of hours. honestly i think its just my anxiety, my tolerance has to be higher than what im feeling it to be. What do you guys think? Typically for the opiate naive, someone who hasn't ever done opiates recreationally or on a daily basis 20-30MG wouldn't overdose them right? it may make them feel sick but it wouldn't overdose the normal person, correct? Thanks for your answers guys and i hope i posted this in the right spot. i just want to make sure im not pushing it to far.

It's very possible you're getting yourself worked up... I wouldn't think 30-40mg would affect your respiration that much with your tolerance. However, everyone responds differently. It is a bit easier, I think, to overdose when you keep redosing throughout the day as opposed to starting small and going with another dose or two from there.

You've got a baby? Maybe it's time to kick? Shift your energy towards the baby and away from a pointless habit. What good is it doing for you anyway?

You don't want to radiate a bad energy into the baby. She's absorbing all the energies around her. If you're struggling with addiction then there will be lots of negative attitudes and emotions in you that will change your aura. Let the baby only feel positive vibrations from you to end your struggle. It will only bring happiness and good energy in your environments. Do it for her and yourself. Think about this.

man 30-45 mgs aint shit... i was doin 300+mgs of perc 30s a day at my worst... but id say that shit is all in your head, but everyone reacts differently to certain chemicals, but in my professional oppion id say your safe from ODin... but mr potatoe has a point, when ya have kids its time to start thinkin about stopping and you would have so much more money for your kid and be able to enjoy your time with em that much more... in the end its your choice and either way i dont know you, and if i did, wouldnt judge you... but it is a thought.
Right I understand what everyone's saying. But I've tried to quit and the withdrawals suck dick. I don't ever want to feel that shit again. Monetarily speakIng were perfectly fine. Not my daughters parents are college graduates and together we make enough to support her and have my habit. I know people are going to say that's the drug talking. But we're in no way struggling. Anyway. I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas! Be safe on New Years.

I'm 15 hours in since my last dose right now and I understand your fear of withdrawals, I've been using roughly the same amount of time though higher doses less consistently....anyway I think you won't OD from that amount and likely your anxiety is contributing to your breathing issues just as much or more than your opiate habit. I wouldn't increase the dose though, you don't want to take any chance with respiratory issues. Really just wanted to say good luck, merry xmas, happy new years..
Merry Christmas to you too! I did increase my dosage yesterday. Hit 60MG and didn't have any breathing issues. It seems some days it bothers me and some days it doesn't. I'm thinking of just chalking it up to anxiety. Anxiety, has honestly been a blessing for me. I tried Heroin a year ago, it gave me an anxiety attack and I haven't touched it since. Anxiety won't allow me to do other drugs besides perks and vikes. So IMHO it has saved my life, even though it sucks. If that makes any sense? I have a very addictive personality. If I wouldn't have had an anxiety attack with Heroin, I would be addicted like crazy to it, probably shooting it up. Since I have bad anxiety attacks when on drugs (minus perks and vikes) I never touched the shit again. Anxiety also stops me from doing crazy amount of the pills of my choice as well. As you can see. So it has saved my life in that aspect as well. lol
Thank you anxiety... i guess??

This is "512"s fiancé. I'm not sure how much Eddie frequented this forum, I found it while going through his phone. He passed away last night around 4am. Of an overdose. I've seen him on this forum a few times talking but didn't know what forum it was. I didn't even know he was addicted again. I found him this morning passed out on the toilet at around 4am unresponsive. I am a respiratory therapist, not knowing wen at was happening. I immediately attempted to administer cpr, to no avail. Prayers are asked for. I'll stop by to answer questions a few times before I delete this page from his cellphone sometime in the next few days. Rest in peace baby. I love you so much. If only I had known. I would have helped you.
