Hi all,

Whenever I take oxycodone orally I end up with a headache for the entire next day. It's not a migrane, just a constant background ache if you know what I mean.

If I snort it, which I would prefer not too due to the higher BA of oral consumption and the damage to my nasal cavities, shorter high etc... I am totally fine the next day.

I can take 10mg or so orally and have a headache the whole next day...Since the last time I did that my tolerance has gone up but none the less I can take 25=30 mg a night and have no headache the next day.

Also, does anyone find that after the initial high re-dosing just doesn't bring the high back? I feel more sedated etc. after a redose but I don't feel that same magic feelin' ya know?
 
There are definitely stages to the opiate high. The setting in stage is distinctly different from the plateau/ later stages. This is why certain ROAs are valued so highly.

I'm not too sure about the headaches... Maybe someone who gets them more often than I did will chime in.
 
This is less likely a phenomenon caused by one ROA as opposed to another, as it is simply due to circumstantial factors such as what you've eaten/fluids, other substances, sleep, etc. Many people have a tendency to get a little dehydrated when taking opioids, which can trigger headaches.
 
^ If you're talking about the ROA thing I mentioned above, I was referring to the last sentence of his post about why redosing doesn't work so well...
 
No, I was responding directly to the OP- I notice now how my post could be construed as a refutation to your's;)

I definitely agree in terms of there being stages to the high, and ROA certainly plays a factor in the efficacy of redosing. You reach a point where redosing becomes almost futile, though I'd imagine that IV use allows for less of an issue there.
 
Hey guys, thanks for the replys.

I'll retry orally again sometimes but it'll be a tough commitment LOL. I hate headaches..

If IV made redosing more effective then wouldn't sniffing or..ehem..plugging be the next best thing? Ahh hell, maybe I just have to accept that nothing is gonna bring back that 15min peak.

You'd just think that the worst comedown effects would come from a faster ROA than a slower.
 
Just so that the info is here for anyone who stubles upon this in a search:

I did 25mg last night nasally, 15 at first then another 10 an hour or two later....I woke up with the headache this morning. So it is not ROA...I also drank a good deal of water which didn`t help. Oh well
