I was just wondering the LD-50 of oxycontin for someone with virtually no opiate tolerance. this is for crushed pills, taken for recreational reasons. i did do a search, nothing, erowid has nothing specifically on oxy dosing. Would a massive dose like 160 mg's kill someone?
 
With no tolerance? It certainly wouldn't do any good. If it didn't cause some serious breathing issues, it would, at very least, make you violently ill, and that would be getting off lucky. There is a pretty good chance, in my opinion, that for a non-tolerant person, this could be life threatening, although there are a number of factors that could affect that outcome. But, the big question is...why would you want to do that? If you have 160 mg of OC, just divide it out into 10-16 doses and enjoy yourself. If your thinking suicide, for God's sake, get yourself to a counselor.
 
With no tolerance you could inject 120mg and possible die, with no tolerance max. dose would be 60mg and thats pushing it. With no tolerance 20mg should get you fealing damn good. 160mg if it didnt kill you, you would definitely have a difficult unenjoyable over-intence experiance.
 
so a crushed orally taken 160mg dose would not automatically be fatal? how much would one have to take before death is likely?
 
There was a thread on this recently.

To summarize, people with no tolerance will vomit but not die from injection of 80 mg oxycodone. I agree with geetered, 120 mg is enough to spawn respiratory issues.

Orally is a different story, i think that the body would vomit before any serious damage is done....

I search the web a little and couldn't find the exact answer. It all really comes down to your tolerence.

If they had no tolerence at all I would use some caution and some common sense. If you don't die, at the very least you're gonna be too sick to enjoy it anyway.

When some one has a tolerance, however, I haven't seen the "ceiling". The only overdoses that I've known about around here have included Oxy's and some sort of Benzos. So be careful with that combination. I personally love it, my favorite thing is to come home from a long day, bust out with the 80's and the Xanax goes down the hatch......ahhhhhhh ~~ bliss
 
it sounds to me like your trying to hint that you wish to take a high enough dose to die, while you wouldnt listen to anyone on a message board anways, dont do it.

But, oxycodone wouldnt seem to be a good way to commit suicide anways.
 
does anyone hypothetically have other reccomendations? i couldnt think of a way to ambiguiously word that
 
taking 160mgs of oxy for an opiate virgin would be bad.

If it didnt kill you, you'd probably be wishing you were dead b/c it would make you VOILENTLY ill....
 
60mg my first time had me incoherent on what was going on. I nodded in a plate of lobster at Red Lobster, and when i was awaken i couldn't breathe and thought it was all over.
 
Being a harm-reductionn board and all, is there anyone else a tad creeped out by the thread-starter's sig coupled with a question about an LD-50 for oxy? Somebody is gonna fuck up big with that 'tude.
 
I have sucessfully injected 5 zero-tolerant people with 80mg of oxycodone. Everone vomited, some more than others, and there were mixed results. The two girls, seemed to report more negative experiences, euphoria/dysphoria, normal stomach issue and histamine reactions. All were pretty sedated.

I dont recommend doing this, unless your watching the person for the initial part, and have a some sort of antagonist. No one even reached a point in which they would need to be administered an antagonist. 80mg is too much to start off injecting. I was attempting to show someone that 80mg IV would not kill an average person, male or female, who believed it would indefinately kill the person. This is equivolent to 160mg crushed orally/snorted, which i also think is too much for a non-tolerant individual. I wouldnt be suprised if someone with out a tolerance OD'ed from 40mg, nor would i be if they survived 360mg.
 
toolazy2think check out the suicide FAQ if you want to do yourself in - last i checked this place was a harm reduction website aimed at keeping people alive rather than dead.

If you're planning on killing yourself with opiates - just know that it is a lot harder to overdose on a high dose of opiates than people think. I knew a lady who was going through a hard time in her 20's, and with very little tolerance injected close to half a gram of strong white heroin. She was out cold - but she woke up 20 hours later still alive - thank god.

You'd have more luck by mixing your opiate of choice with a large dose of benzodiazepines.
 
240mg of chewed oxycontin + 16mg of xanax would probably kill you... if you want too commit suicide its not the anser because suicide would be a permenent solution too a temporarey problem.
 
^^^That is not completely true, if i got some sort of organic brain disease like schizophrenia I would immediately commit suicide , and since it usually gets worse by age, it would be a permanent solution to a permanent disorder. Also, there is a big difference between temporary sadness (family death, relationship problems), and full blown clinical depression, where there is no specific reason why you feel shitty, other than a chemical imbalance in the brain.

If i were to kill myself (sure ive thought about it, hasnt everyone?) it would be a shotgun slug to my head, after getting very, very high. I actually thing dying from an opiate overdose may be more painfull. A good alternative to suicide is to use opiates and depressants, but if your really seriously and helplessly depressed, i think suicide is the only way out for some people. And addiction can just make the depression and the feeling of inescapability more real.........

I dont recommend suicide to anyone, but there is a right way to do everything.........
