Oxycodone and food

Just wondering what other people thought about this but I know that oxy works best on empty stomach but after it kicks in I find that if I eat/drink anything it makes the high weaker.
Does anyone else notice that?
 
It doesn't have any effect at all on the high for me to be honest. It does make me really hungry though.
 
I'm going to attempt to post an update. I saw my PM doctor today. He said that my metabolism testing shows that I am not fully processing the Oxycodone. He says that explains my needed increase for dosing schedule to 4xday. However, he says he cannot write for 120 per month. He will only write for 100 per month.

Can anyone help me to understand this? Would I be better off going back to Lortab, OR would it be limited, too? I don't fully understand the requirement to enroll in pain "management" if the doctor is afraid to actually "manage" the pain. He said he'd have no problem increasing the milligrams, but not the number of pills. Huh? Why would I want to increase mg? He suggested 30 mg to break in half and take every 4 hours during the day. The broken pills upset my surgically altered stomach. What do I do?

Thx for your responses!

Oh shit...I'm obsessed about weight gain as a side effect of any med...Oxycodone makes you hungry?
 
A. Increasing the milligram is actually a better idea, less pills every day but more drug sounds like just what you need. And I'd stick with the oxycodone ove lortabs, btw. Even if you aren't metabolizing all of the oxy, you're still probably getting more out of it than you would with hydrocodone.
B. Pretty much all opioids make me hungry. Not to the extent marijuana does where I feel like I could eat an entire buffet just as an appetizer, but it definetly sparks my hunger. But it's probably just subjective, it definetly isn't a major side effect of opioids, I wouldn't worry about it.
 
I can't even drink a soda while on hydros w/o it killing my buzz. even fatty foods well. Kills my buzz. It maybe that food takes blood from your brain to ur stomach to digest it. I cannot explain why. but I indeed can 100% tell u honestly they must be taken 5 hours after u've eatten and any foods at all especially sugar kills my buzz in moments.I have actually lost a great deal of weight on hydros because I refuse to eat.They are wasted as soon as I do. no matter the dose.It sucks because while I am eatting I am really enjoying that meal. But after a few minutes. no more buzz. And no chance of getting another for many many hours afterwards. So what I do is first thing in the morning I take whatever dose I wish for that day at once. Then when I am coming off the buzz I will eat then. The party is pretty much over until I wait 5 more hours..It sucks people..
 
I am on Loritab but have taken my fair share of oxys... I miss the good Ole days before oxycontin reformulation.. anyway I agree with other posters I'd stay on the oxycodone over Loritab... wish I had that choice! But back to the question,sorry I ramble, I can eat a little fatty food before taking the meds. Eat wait about half an hour then take em, but if I eat with it, it does seem to kill the buzz some. One day I got bored and read the thing that comes with the medication... you know the pamphlet they staple no one reads lol and it explicitly said this medicine may not work as well if taken with food. To lie down of it made you naseous on an empty stomach, this was on a percocet pamphlet... I'll have to read the Loritab one next month and see tho now
 
Opiates of any kind make me extremely hungry, and l eat more junk food. I don't mind because l haven't gained to much weight but yes l think they make most people hungry.
 
Eating fatty foods during my Oxy high definitely intensifies the buzz for me.

Yesterday I tried all the potentiation methods (Please note the following is not a recommendation as it could be very dangerous for some people)

I ate fatty foods in the 2 hours leading up to my 120mg dose of Oxycodone. I had a Hamburger, also cheese sandwiches and loads of soft cheese spread.

About -90 minutes before taking my Oxy I consumed 600mg of Cimetidine, 225mg Pregabalin. -1 hour 1g Methocarbamol, 20mg Diazepam. -25 minutes 30mg Promethazine. -10 minutes 50mg Baclofen. I also took another 300 or 600mg Cimetidine with my Oxy (Can't quite remember) Then 1 hour after taking my Oxy I took 90mg Temazepam. Around 7 hours later smoked some very poor quality weed.

It's now 22 hours later and I'm still feeling some effects.

Please take note that this could be fatal for some people, so please do not attempt to copy my behaviour unless you have a tolerance to all the aforementioned substances, and even with a tolerance this combination could prove dangerous.
 
Every single time I take Oxy i am sick to my stomach and about every 5 minutes or so I get a wave that feels as if I need to throw up. it takes a minute or 2 for it to pass. There is something in the reformulation that definitely does not agree with me.Wish I could've tried the old formula b4 all this anti-abuse crap that literally makes it unbareable to take just 20 mg.
 
In my experience opioids do not work best on a completely empty stomach, not to mention it worsens any nausea associated with high doses. Having at least a small amount of food in my stomach has always been optimal for me. A meal about 45 minutes to an hour after taking opioids will drastically increase effects for me as well, almost like the real opioid high begins minutes after eating and I never get to this level if I don't eat. Taking opioids right after a meal or eating too soon after ingestion definitely weakens the high though.
