Hey guys.
I know this is going to sound silly, but I'm fairly new to playing around with Oxycodone, and I was wondering whether or not 80mgs is too much to take at once? I know they've got pills that are 80mgs in one pill, so it can't be deadly.
I've got 20 mg pills, and over the past week have been alternating snorting and downing them. I haven't exceeded 60, though, before tonight.
I feel awful. Well and truly awful.
I'm not a little person, being 175 pounds... so I was just wondering if, as long as I keep myself alert and drink fuckloads of water, it would be considered an overdose.
Sorry for being all weird and paranoid, I'm just concerned.
Thanks in advance

if you take one of the 80mg whole you would be ok, since it is time release, but if you crushed it up you might not be so hot.

if you usually take 20mg why did you take 60? maybe try 30mg oral, crushed up.

i dont think you are gonna die, but you took enough to make you feel sick
 
I took 4 20s.
I crushed/snorted 3 and took one. I dont know whether or not they're time release, but I don't think they are.
 
Probably most important, hows your breathing? If your heading for trouble, breathing is where it will show !
.
I don't think you will have a problem with 80mg. But from now on, think a little before you say "oh, maybe I'll do XX tonight". If it's WAY above whats you did the past, thats not too smart.

Best to ya !
 
First of all I have to say : ' I know they've got pills that are 80mgs in one pill, so it can't be deadly' is terrifying to hear someone say. Why? Because it's completely untrue- a pill alone CAN do some horrible damage (including, at times, death). 80mg in YOUR case, as you've been fine with 60mg may be a bit of a jump (considering you called yourself a beginner w/ opiates).

Why don't you go up slowly? I say there is absolutely no reason to increase your dose quickly and EVERY reason to do it as slowly as possible. Tolerance is a bitch.
 
Thank you to everyone for your replies. I feel really stupid for thinking that 80mgs was safe, simply because they have it in one pill. Thank you for correcting me on that.
I feel much better today, though I'm still itchy (I kind of enjoy that, though hahaha) and tired.
I most certainly will be taking a break from opiates for a while. They may be enjoyable, but I'm not sure they're worth the risk of dependency/tolerance development. That's the reason I tried to jump to 80; 60 just wasn't cutting it.
Thanks again!
 
If you're fairly new to opiates don't push yourself to higher doses for a number of reasons. The first being the risk of OD like has been discussed. But also you're just going to skyrocket your tolerance early on, which will lead to faster development of addiction/dependence, by doing this early on in your use i could see a habit being formed out of always pushing your boundaries to achieve a greater high. Everybody chases that "first high"-like experience, but when its still new enjoy being able to get loaded off of as little as possible, you don't want to intentionally increase your tolerance by taking 4x what you need. If and when you feel like you need a higher dose raise it as little as possible. I've read people on here say that they've been able to get high off the same dose for years.

Anyway, just some tips from someone who has been there. I think when i started using i raised my tolerance early on by chasing a better high and all it really did was make things worse for me in the end. Good luck and stay safe.
