Oxycodone--future effects after overdose?

[arthunter888]

Greetings. About a month ago I overdosed on 15mg of roxicodone--which led to headache/nausea vommitting and sick feeling.

Although 15mg was attempted back then, usually I can feel quite euphoric off of 5-10mg of roxi or oxycodone. But recently I took 10mg roxi after a month from the overdose and hasn't taken any in between. Took 5mg with a small meal, then chewed up 5mg an hour later. I must say, the amount of euphoria I felt this time was greatly diminished, about half of what I used to feel when taking 5-10mg (without tolerance), and I even felt some of the same negative tingling sensations in the back of the head between the spine and the ears on both sides that accompanied the overdose (though not as extreme and without nausea this time).

The question: Could the overdose have effected I my ability to feel the euphoric effects from future injestions of roxi/oxy (because of brain/receptor damage, etc.)? If not, what is most likely the cause of this diminished effect (e.g. could tolerance exist after a month, that it was taken with food)?

P.S. To those who might flame me about using SWIM: I am aware that bluelighters do not use SWIM.. I had copied this thread from another site that requires swim and didn't have time to edit the entire post.

Sorry I dont mean to poke fun at you...but an overdose off 15mg of oxycodone is kinda funny when poor folk like me have to take 200-300mg and not even be satisfied.

I dont know the answer to your question, but I dont think 'brain damage' has anything to do with it

Just to let you know, that's not a true oxy overdose. I sometimes take a little too much oxy and get nausea/headaches and throw up but this is not a true overdose. You would know if you OD'd or not. I don't even think a person that has never used oxy before could OD on 15 mg's of oxy.

no need to use SWIM here

You probably felt no euphoria because you split the dose in half and you ate a meal with the first pill. I never eat on opiates (unless snorted or opana) because for me, it makes it like 50% weaker. Try taking 10mgs at once on an empty at least an hour after you've last ate. As for the negative effects you felt, Id say its all in your head. I had a horrible OD from 18mgs of ativan a couple years back and i still get major dysphoria puke my guts up from 3 to 4 mgs, where as i can do 8 mgs of xanax and up to 90mgs of valium and feel great, i dont know if its that my body remembers the horrible experience the chemical caused and is rejecting, or if its just all in my head. Id try oxy again a couple and it if it still doesnt sit right, then mabey try some to CWE hydro

yea I don't think that's a true OD, but then again what qualifies as an OD? going to the hospital? all I got to say is if thats an OD then I've OD'ed many times lol, IMO you just took a little bit more than you could handle...

SWIM fools no one. we all know it was you.

Well to be technical I guess anything that gets you to the point of puking/head ache/shallow breathing etc. could be considered an "Overdose" I'd use a little more strict terms for using the word OD though. To each his own but overdose is a pretty broad term. Even though most people think of someone dieing or near death.

I was going to say this in my earlier post but didnt think it was worth the time, but since this is where the thread is going, ive seen a 100 pound woman with no tolerance snort a perk 10 and puked/dry heaved for hours. She was sweating profusley(sp) and nodding pretty hard, her ass almost got sent to the hospital. In a small adult without a tolerance, even a small dose of some drugs can have serious effects. Everyone is Effected differently. That being said, I wish I could OD of 15mgs of oxy

It's tolerance. Simple as that.

Exactly. Taking anything more than the directed dose is overdosing. You don't have to go unconscious - or puke, even - to have overdosed. That's why they rate overdoses as well - mild, moderate, severe.

Thank all of you for your input, I appreciate the help and all but I don't wish this thread to focus on the definition of an overdose (for closure though I think overdose = over-dose = more of a dose than a body can handle therefore puking headache etc. not necessarily a dangerous amount).

There's something that some misunderstood though. For the OD I did not take oxycodone, it was 3 x 5mg ROXIcodones (in case I might be wrong they were small round white pills that said "05 | 52" on one side and an "M" inside a box on the other). This is significant because roxicodone is an instant release version of oxycodone--and with NO APAP, and taking 15mg of instant release oxycodone on an empty stomach will flood the body with it quickly therefore causing OD for me who had no tolerance (it sounded like a euphoric idea at the time but proved bad).

I want to focus on why I got diminished effects from the future 2 x 5mg roxicodone dose (same pills). I don't think it was my mind because I had a small meal in my stomach which eliminated fear of another bad experience. Does anyone think that my body has 'remembered' the horrible experience from the OD, and therefore avoids fully utilizing future doses?

^^The word Tolerance is tossed around a lot these days.

 

[Captain.Heroin]

That's definitely not an overdose at all.

You now have a mild tolerance to opiates, where you'll probably need to take more than just 5mg or 10mg of oxycodone to "feel it". If you waited long enough, you might return to where you once were due to your limited opiate use.

No. Your body does not arbitrarily choose which drugs to digest and which ones to not. If you ingested a drug, rest assured it got in your system all right.

What happened is you have taken oxycodone a few times now, and you'll need more than 5mg or 10mg to get "high" off of it. That, or you can wait a few weeks and let your tolerance return to zero, so you can get high on 5mg or 10mg.

This is what's called a tolerance.

I have almost no tolerance to opiates, I also feel next to nothing on 10 mgs of Oxycodone, but on 15mgs I tend to get nauseous around the 2:30hr or 3:00hr point after consumption, actually I took 15mgs last night and puked up a bit of water but thats about it. I also just want to put out there that the 5-10mg pills usually have 500-750mgs of apap in them and this can cause nausea in some people.

i wish i could od on 15 mg instead i take about 7 30's a day and dont poop

Roxicodone is Just plain and simple Oxycodone!!

15mg of oxy is a joke, like you.

you're on a harm reduction site, flamming a new comer to opiates for his low tolerance and possibly indicating to the OP that even though a low dose of oxy made him very sick, he could still do way more and be fine because 15mgs is a joke8)

The other day I did far too much methadone and similarly had a headache and was nauseous the next day. What is the cause of these symptoms that I had the next day?

thank you. It's amazing how many people don't understand that OxyCONTIN is the extended release brand name or the drug oxycodone.

arthunter888; please, for your own sake, do your research. 15mg may not be much according to some people here, but comparing 15mg oxycodone between an opiate naive person and someone with that can do 3x OC80s is comparing apples and oranges. So know YOUR limits, and always start small and work your way up from there.
Do a search b/c this has been covered many times before, but long story short....
1) opiates cause nausea
2) most ppl don't enjoy opiates (like smoking cigarettes) untilt they get used to the feeling
3) take care of yourself

moving to BDD
