taken 8/2/03, 20 mgs (halved a 40 mg), orally and not crushed.

female, semi-experienced opiate user.


i was pretty excited about obtaining this. our contact usually has them but has the mind to hang onto them! i spent most of the day doing my weekend chores, so i was busy enough to not think about the little pill tucked in my nighttable all day. i also ate well the entire day, had a very filling meal around 6pm.


8:45 pm: ingested my half of the pill.
8:50-9:10 pm: smoked blunt, about 1.5 g worth of weed

about 20 mins goes by since smoking. at this point i'm not really feeling anything but the weed. an hour since ingestion approaches.

9:45 pm: still not feeling what has been described in other trip reports or the FAQs. it's been an hour and i'm not even itching.

10:35 pm: starting to get a little bit itchy. also starting to get really drowsy. fighting staying awake because i read you don't really want to go to sleep since your breathing and heartrate are slowed down. i feel extremely bored...maybe just the anticipation of waiting for something to happen?

10:45 pm: decide to hop online, since i have nothing better to do. don't feel like sitting w/my husband (who took the other half), don't feel like watching tv. JUST PLAIN BORED.

11:30 pm: starting to feel somewhat..."loopy". a little bit of disorientation, but not much. have itched minimally. decide to hit that blunt roach from earlier.

11:45 pm: climb into bed and watch more tv. the blunt roach did nothing for me so i packed a couple bowls and hit them.

12:45 am: finally decide to turn off tv and get some sleep.



i slept really really well that night and felt fine the next morning. even got up and went riding on the jetski at 8:30 am. all in all, i was extremely disappointed in the experience. for a drug that is hyped up to be addictive, i couldn't figure that part out. i have used percocets a lot of times in the past, and some loritabs at the beginning of the week and i got more fucked up off of those than this OC. and it was a true OC, not roxycodone (or whatever that is). it was round, smooth (no score), had OC on one side and 40 on the other.

we're thinking perhaps we should've crushed it and put it in a cap or just snorted it? i'm not sure we'll even press to get these again, we were so unimpressed.




comments welcomed!
 
Crushing it may have helped. But I also had similar experiences to you. For a while I was on oxys after a surgery and I thought "What's the big deal?" I mean, they really hardly helped with the pain, let alone making me feel good.

After a while, I noticed some positives, but I think it is subtle. It is not like making you feel good, it is about smoothing out whatever is crappy or rough in your life so you don't think/worry about it. Basically, the worse your life is, the more you will enjoy oxys. If things are going pretty good for you, then oxys can be pretty boring. Well, that's just a theory and I could be wrong. Some people just react differently to different drugs.

ouch. I know you know this but... oxycodone is oxycodone. I think that not crushing it was the problem. I have never done OC's (done many percs) but someone without an opiate tolerance... 20mg of oxycodone should hit you nicely. Myabe next time wait for the drug to kick in... then smoke your weed

:)
 
just thinking that maybe i have a high tolerance for pills...of most any sort. i forgot to add that i even had a mixed drink around 11 pm and that did nothing to enhance the effects either. like i said, if we press to have these again (which will probably not be anytime soon), i'm assuming it will be snorted. seemed like a lot of money to pay and not desired effects. :\
 
yea did you scrap the yellow casing off? plus a 20 mg dose might not be effective especiallly if you are an opiate user.. i use oc's quiete often and there is a huge difference in taking a 40 mg dose and a 60 mg dose.. maybe the 20 wasnt stronge enough i would shoot for the 40.. def rail it tho
 
ahhh, it's all so clear to me now. i misread the FAQs. i thought to break the time-release i just had to cut the pill, not actually crush it up. that reads differently now.

and, according to the BL FAQ on said substance, the coating has nothing to do with the time-release. i just assume if you crush it you wouldn't want that crap going up your nose, so you remove the coating before you crush it and snort it.
thx.
 
No you did everything good, only thing I can tell you is that oxy is subtle for someone who's never done it. You cannot focus on the effects because you're not gonna see anything...or so you think. Next time, take a 20mg crush it with your teeth while it's in you mouth and take with water. Then get underneath some blankets and lay on your couch relaxed with your head down on a pillow, turn the lights down, get a bottle of water beside your bed...also this works best at night time but make sure your not tired. Don't expect nothing just relax and watch something on tv not too complicated...You will see why it's so good, and if it doesn't work I would up it with another 10mg, bringing you up to 30mg...but make sure you don't dose like a crazy kid, I mean 20mg SHOULD be enough. The trick is to relax your mind, and when oxy hits you it feels more rushy than other opiates that's why you should always lie down and chill to get full effects. Hope this helped.
 
I think some people are just really sensitive to opiates/oids. When I took 15-20mg of methadone I was FLOORED. Even though the come up takes 3 hours, it is far from subtle. I don't think oxy is subtle at all either, I always get a few eye wiggles (different than MDMA) and lots of dreaming. DREAMING. That's what I would look forward too (not real dreaming but an "in and out" kind of thing). Maybe I am just super sensitive to opiates but 15-20mg oxy or 'done puts me in a perfect, relaxed, although not subtle state.


methadone especially gives you this tight, warm feeling in your chest that just spreads throughout your body. It's so intense sometimes it gets hard to talk. I swear, the more I think about methadone the more it seems like some opiates have MDMA like qualities. I don't like any uppers but E though so that could be the explination. The "in and out's" are more subtle than mdma but opiates sure are a lot easier on the body.
 
The problem is that you took a therapeutic dose (a weak one at that), not recreational, by not crushing the pill. Had you gotten all 20mg at once, the experience would've been more fun. I don't know who said oxycodone is subtle, but it's anything but that if you take the right dose.

Take more...

EXACTLY

20mg is enough to make a fiend stop withdrawing, but he'll still want more. Also never ingest this sort of pill WITHOUT crushing, its a time released drug, and i'm willing to bet you don't lick the coating off.

ALWAYS:
1- remove coating (with mouth)
2- crush
3- dose, however you choose, when its powder, it won't make much of a difference
 
okay, as i've stated previously...i checked with the FAQs that were written up by a BL member/mod. (don't know about the mod part). it clearly said that the coating has nothing to do with anything, other than it is just a "wrapper/packaging" for the pill. i dont' see any point in removing the coating except that if you snort it you will get yucky plastic coating going up your nose as well.

i do, however, see the point in crushing it to get instant effects.

and when you don't have more, you make do with what ya got.

that's bullshit. I respect most of your posts but I know that anything over 20mg of oxy will make my friends vomit and hurl and just be in HELL for hours. 5-10mg oxycodone is a theraputic dose.... not 20. I am fine with 30+mg of hydro but that's ME. A lot of people get bad nasuea at your theraputic dose.

LOL, a WEAK theraputic dose?? I missed that entirely for a minute (thanks maryjane). You really shouldn't give out information like that. You are right though, all 20mg at once would have been nice probably.

Faris, don't crush up 30-40 mg and try and take it... you probably will be in for a suprise. Crush up a 20 and you should be hit hard.

EDIT: I also noticed the "not crushing up the pill" bit just now. So.... Crimson is right but I misread him :p

peace.
 
I never tried oxys due to the ridiculous price on them (unless you can get a script of course). I still enjoy plain old hydrocodone or oxycodone even after years of occasional recreational use.
One 10mg Vicodin with beer and weed get me off decent. Another half and Im loving life but itching like crazy.

As far as what to do while on opiates: Personally I enjoy taking opiates when I go out to the movies. I will suck on a vicodin or percoset during the previews (disgusting but it hits harder and quicker) and down a quick beer (have to be careful with that of course) and start feeling nice when the movie comes on. It seems that have a extremely low opiate tolerance and 40 mg of any opiate would probably have me hurling. I sometimes throw a little xanax (1 mg) or a 10mg valium into the mix to make it a little more interesting.

BTW, 20mg (even in instant release form) is still considered to be within the therapeutic range.
 
id just like to add that in my experience mixing opiates with pot makes you way more drowsy/sleepy basically trying to keep your eyes open and i dont mean that in a pleasant way at all . in my opinion dont do pot if you do opiates.

btw. cute avatar. goes with the name somehow ;)

Or, since you thought it sucked, don't waste your time with opiates anymore. You thought it sucked for a reason---- they suck!
