opiate tolerance

[Sprout]

Is there anyway to quantitatively predict the rise or drop in tolerance levels?

Probably not. It's different from person to person, from usage pattern to usage pattern, and from opioid to opioid, etc

I guess in theory if you kept METICULOUS TRACK of your usage, relative highs, relative lows, your COWS when withdrawing as well as duration and all of that. If you somehow kept track of all of that for yourself (or another) and actually studied it a bit, you could, IN THEORY predict, within a certain range most likely, how much a break of X time would lower your own tolerance, and for how long.

Obviously this would be a lot of work. Also most likely not possible since its very hard to subjectively describe relative "highs" and how they compare, to another person.

Short of all this work/information though, no you cannot predict it especially for someone else.

My tolerance jumped overnight taking the 20 ops. I went from 50mgs for a buzz to 140 practically overnight. If you are experiencing tolerance to the op oc's try thrpwing some percocets or any kind of IR in there along with your regular dose. I now only dose high every 3rd day and have found my tolerance seems to be staying about the same.

I barely use anymore so this was more out of interest.
I used to do 1g codeine and 400mg tramadol daily but that was 18 months ago at least so I have no idea what I could tolerate anymore.

^ I'd say go back right down to 400mg codeine maybe even 300 , and 50-100mg tramadol . Only one way to find out though , hell of a lot easier to go take some than it is to guess .
