Opioids Oxycodone and Hypothyroidism

[CaPoNe.]

So ive been doin oxy for a while now and one of my friends did it with me for his first time today. He did 45 mg and said he felt itchy but no high at all. He does have hypothyroid disease could that affect him from getting high because thats alot and he never does any opiates at all. Any information would be greatly appreciated thanks.

CaPoNe.

Not sure why he felt itchy and not high, but you guys should check this out:
(from drugs.com)
"Patients with hypothyroidism may have increased risk of respiratory depression and prolonged CNS depression associated with the use of narcotic (opioid) analgesic agents. These agents may also exacerbate the effects of hypothyroidism such as lethargy, impaired mentation, depression, and constipation. Therapy with opioids should be administered cautiously and initiated at reduced dosages in patients with uncontrolled hypothyroidism or myxedema. Subsequent doses should be titrated based on individual response rather than a fixed dosing schedule."

Just a heads up.
