Oxymorphone as a metabolite

[d3Xo-fan]

Hi,

This question is perhaps more related to oxycodone. I was wondering if you take a decent dose, say 70mg of oxycodone, will you feel effects of oxymorphone aswell when the oxycodone is metabolized? In other words, if oxycodone did not metabolize into oxymorphone, would the drug (oxycodone) then feel differently? Perhaps weaker? Is the amount of oxymorphone yielded by the liver big enough to be noticed?

no, studies show that oxycodone itself generates any opiate effects felt.

Okay, even if the amount taken is extremely high? This is just a hypothetical question, I'm not planning on taking unsafe doses.

Can you elaborate on why this is?

if i may add to this threads question. i swear i once heard that hydrocodone's effects were somewhat due to hydromorphone. is this false?

 

[laCster]

yes^ it's false.

 

[perKeceT]

yes^ it's false.

gracias =) would this mean that if one to was able to procure a hydrocodone preparation without APAP that snorting it wouldnt make you any stupider than someone that snorts oxy?

^^ Exactly.

I think this thread has run it's course and been pretty thoroughly answered.
