Oxymorphone underwhelming

It seems to me that on BL (and every other applicable forum), users regard Opana as the drug of all drugs, the ultimate find in pharmecutical painkillers. Even those who tend more toward heroin, claim that oxymorphone is a great alternative.

But (although I've certainly never tried The Big H), I am not getting this kind of performance from Opana. And I might add that I am not a user who cannot be satisfied without the ritual of insufflation. (As a matter of fact, OxyContin 40mg OP is a nice dose; or a methadone 10mg. I actually prefer duration over an intense, short-lived rush.) Insufflated, I try not to dose more that 15-30mg oxy at once. Or a daily total of 45-60mg.
But for some odd reason, a single 20mg or even 40mg dose of oxymorphone (Opana ER) doesn't supply me near the euphoria, comparatively. Just for a single dose! Even if I redose to offer it a chance at redemption, I may even nod, but the intense, euphoric warmth of feeling opiated just isn't there.
I know this doesn't really make sense, especially taking into account the reports of other blue lighters and opiate enthusiasts I know.

What am I missing?

It's worth noting that I have not attempted to "abuse" them (EG ingest in alternative methods). And I've never had a needle in my arm (save for at the will of my physician). Opana I have only ingested orally.

Anyone else find Opana to be lackluster stacked up against the performance of its peers?
 
Your triple negative confused me.

Snorted, og opana has a way higher bioavailability than oral, it is kinda unique in that regard. And it feels more narcotic-y and noddy than oxycodone. Plus better legs than hydromorphone. It's like if you took the best attributes from both of those and combined em into one drug.

It definitely lived up to the hype for me.

Yeah me too, very strange way of phrasing something.

Also - I've never tried oxymorphone, but from what i've heard - the real euphoria is the rush from IV. I'm an IV heroin user, previously I used to IV meth as a habit and prior to that, before I smartened up; I used to IV EVERYTHING from MDMA, to LSD to 2CE, to random pills I scored in a nightclub.. I don't do all that STUPID shit any more; but I will say this - the difference in quality of high obtained from IV, vs smoking/snorting is so substantial that in any situation, if I had drugs and no rig, I'd simply not consume the drugs at all until I had the equipment, even if it mean't holding them for 24hours (with the exception of being severely dopesick with a remedy at hand).

Not that I am encouraging you to IV it; but given that you enjoy opiates and that this particular opiate is known as a very euphoric one, I'm guessing you're doing it wrong.
 
Just re-read both the posts above, for some reason I thought you snorted it, just realised you've only ever tried eating it - I think that definitely answers your question; you wasted it. Did you at least dissolve it in water perhaps and on an empty stomach? Maybe try plugging it next time..
 
if you do end up insufflating it, do not overdo it based on its performance when taken orally. just a few mgs intranasal is equal to your usual 15-30mg oxy dose. and it takes much longer to fully kick in than oxy, even when insufflated.

I think the general rule of thumb is that oxymorphone is 2x more powerful oxycodone but I'm sure it could vary a bit based on one's tolerance etc.
 
that applies to oral oxymorphone, not intranasal. according to wiki the bioavilaibility for intranasal oxymorphone is 4x that of oral, which would put it at 8x more powerful than oxycodone.

Forgive my bizarre sentence structure. I am a writer. (No elitism; I obviously didn't communicate my message well.) But spending so much time with sentences has a tendency to leave my dialect difficult to interpret on occasion. Unwittingly, of course. Bare with me.

I did notice it felt more "noddy". But not more euphoric IMO. And I'm sure I can find a method on BL somewhere but these are the green and yellow (E 20; E 40) Opanas. So they are not much vulnerable to "prepping" for alternative rituals of administration. But I have heard of a few ways to get around the stubborn nature of these pills. Just didn't realize how much it mattered until now! Thank you.
 
I personally find opiates boring, I prefer barbiturates, however by the looks of it, Oxymorphone is a very nice opiate, and far superior to others. It has the rush of hydromorphone, the high of morphine yet more euphoric with no side effects and the stimulation of levorphanol, making it the ultimate opie. I have only tried hydromorphone and fentanyl, and both of them were boring and short lived, however judging by the description oxy seems very different from that.

Yes, Fent isn't a great recreational Opie, it has a bit of a reputation for not being particularly euphoric. I think most people would generally find opiates more interesting (less boring) than barbs.. Each to their own, but also; a lot of people have had underwhelming first-time opiate experiences.. But that doesn't mean the there isn't a hit out there somewhere with your name on it, just waiting to drag you down into the world of opiate addiction.

I would have to agree, 100%. Benzos serve little recreational purposes for me. But I think much of the lure of opiates is in it's consistency in enhancing everyday life without completely removing one from it, and rendering them incapable of functioning (contingent upon the user being cautious with their doses and self-aware of their tolerance, of course). Especially when you start out just taking 10mg hydro or something. It's easy to think, why smoke a cig every 45 min for a short-lasting head change (with all of the baggage that comes with it) when I could pop a tab and be good for hours? And then it's a slippery slope from there.
But yeah, fent and morphine serve little recreational purposes IMO.
But now I'm getting off topic. My apologies. Haha
I wouldn't categorize Opanas with fent and morphs, but it's almost like I'm always waiting for it to peak, and it never does. The slight buzz it offers (that feels like it's still traveling uphill to me) just perpetuates for a bit until it dies off. And I've tried Opana numerous times. But after talking with you guys, I'm realizing that it's the administration method that's the issue. And although I have a tolerance, it's not a dosing issue. I've done the conversions. My dosages should be plenty.
