OK, so I kind of hi-jacked the 'fav pharms drugs' thread so i'll start my own.
Right, I have aquired some 10mgs percoce(oblong, light yellow, 10/325 on one side, percocet on the other).
I use 8mgs dillaudid IV, 60-80 mgs oxycontin IV.
OK: So this is my question , how many do I take?
BTW, thank-you Soviet , you answered my last question without fucking around, I want straight-up answers, I no NOTING ABOUT CHEMSTRY or MATH, so that will just confuse me!
Now I realise thatI cant IV the percs (can I?)
so how many would I need to take?
Is it even worth it? Would I catch a buzz?
Would all the binder & crap too be heinous on my stomach, I'm asumming I need to take quite a few with my tolerance!
Thank-you in advance for your intelligent, insightful & polite answers!

Even with my tolerance?! ^^^ that doesnts eenm likek much, i wanna be STONED, not just a little 'buzzed'. but thank-you for your response.
 
sorry bro, i compleeeeetly (lol) spaced your tolorence level for them things. Im not even gonna suggest how many i think you should take, i dont want you to die or anything. later

According to Soviet you should IV half your oral dosage of oxycodone, so you should eat double your IV dosage. So 120-160mg oxycodone or 12-16 Percocet.
That's a large bit of acetaminophen to be downing at once, if you have quite a few of these you could do a big cold water extraction but you'll probably lose some good stuff along with the junk it gets rid of.
 
with your tolerance COLD WATER EXTRACTION is prob the best answer,poppin that many would just be ridiculous,your gonna lose a lil'opiate so just throw in an extra 1-2 pills,this should get ya off pretty well.
but if you have OC's and dilaudid around,i would sell the percs and buy more of the OC's and dilaudid,
no do not IV percs
 
I would just save them for when you have to withdrawl eathier by choice or if you can't get any more strong shit.
 
Now I realise thatI cant IV the percs (can I?)
so how many would I need to take?
It should be possible, but it'd be a pain in the ass.
You could not just simply crush Percocet and mix it with water. A single tablet has WAY too much powder.. mostly insoluable powder at that.
If you REALLY wanted to, you could crush up enough Percs for a decent dose, put them in a small cup, add enough water so there was a good layer of water over the top of the powder, stir and then put it in a freezer to completely freeze.
Then you could set the cup upside over another cup with a coffee filter in between. The remaining liquid would be water, oxycodone and some trace amounts of corn starch. This would be your injectable solution.
But as you can see, it'd just be a real bitch and not really worth it considering IV oxycodone only last about an hour anyways.
I think your best bet would be to use the Percocets to ease withdrawals.
 
snort oxys. if you iv dillies, you could probably handle 40mg of oxy up the nose easy. start at about 30mg and work your way up, cause you can always take more, but taking to much isn't fun (i'm still not overly worried about you taking too much).
as far as the percs, i agree with everyone else, do a cold water extraction, cause with the amount you want to take you will be getting quite a bit of tylenol. mix in some coolaid with the liquid you get from the extraction, cause it will be *very* bitter.
cold water extraction (from the erowid vaults):
1. Obtain a quantity of tablets containing codeine, check to see if they contain anything other than codeine, caffeine, acetaminophen or aspirin. If they do, and you don't know whether or not it will be a problem, your best bet is not to use them. Measure out your desired amount of codeine (ex. 64 mg = 8 tablets * 8mg/tablet). You may want to add 2 extra tablets as it is quite likely you will lose some codeine in the procedure. As you get more experience with the procedure you will be able to get approx. 95% of the codeine extracted.
2. Measure out some nice hot water, use approx. 40ml / 20 tablets or more if needed. I would suggest you don't go over 50ml for 20 tablets. I don't know if the use of boiling water would destroy any of the codeine but your best bet is not to use it. Use hot water but not boiling. Make sure the tablets dissolve completely. Some dissolve on contact with water while others need some help dissolving by crushing them. Note : not all of the tablet will dissolve, there are water-insoluble fillers in the tablet and not all of the A/A will dissolve either(which is what we want).
[Most sources recommend that codeine not be stored at temperatures in excess of 40C (104F), so its probably better to use warm, but not hot, water. I find that it is best to crash the tablets completely in a container, and then dissolve them in a glass with water.]
3. Place the solution in a cold bath, I just use some ice cubes in a container of water. Stir the mixture occasionally until the solution drops to about 15C or lower. You won't need a thermometer to measure the temperature, just make sure it's "cold". This will take about 30 min. If you wish to speed this up, you can use less water to dissolve the tablets, and add ice chips to cool the mixture faster. Just make sure you don't add so much ice that you drastically increase the volume of the mixture.
4. Filter the solution using whatever you have. Coffee filters work well, but lab filters work the best. Just make sure you don't end up with obvious solids in the filtered solution. This will take about 1 hr. You may also want to rinse the solids left over in the filter with some ice-water to extract any remaining codeine.
[With aspirin this will take only about 20-30 minutes.]
5. Drink and enjoy! The solution will be _very_ bitter, so I mix a little Kool-aid powder into the solution. The taste isn't really bad but it's similar to sucking on a lemon.
[One gets used to the taste after a while. :) ]
6. Sit back and wait for the effects. Because the codeine is already in solution it only needs to be absorbed, while codeine in the tablet form must dissolve before being absorbed. Because of this, the effects will probably become noticeable within 15min.
Note : I don't suggest you evaporate the mixture unless you are willing to wait a while. The Merck index warns that codeine is sensitive to heat and light. For that reason if you wish to evaporate the mixture, do it without heat, and shield the solution from light.
everywhere you see the word codeine, just replace it with oxycodone.
 
save them for when your in a desperate situation.
you'll be glad you did down the road.
 
Dosage.. well, Percocet's active ingrediant is 10mgs. I believe you said you were either using 60mgs oral or insufflated. If your Percs are 10mgs of oxycodone, then eat 6 or bang 3.
Don't even bother trying to snort Perc.. too much acetaminophen.
As for 5mg oxycodones.. I guess that's just generic stuff. If it doesn't have acetaminophen, then you could not only eat them, but bang or snort them.
 
well as it happends i DO have 5mgs oxycodone,
sovite,or whocer tell em aboyt this.
sovit , shoot 60-80 OC, 6mg dillies, you seenmed a little confudes by my dosages.
I also aquired some 5mg oxycdone- is it worth it me? , acn i bag them? or should i just get rid of them?
Thanks for everyones input by the wway, apprceite it !
Oh , im a little high now, escuse the typos!
 
Yes, you're getting me confused.
In your original post, you said you had been using 60mgs of oxycodone from OxyContin. Since you were asking me for an injection dose, I assumed you were implying that you had been eating or snorting the oxycodone.
A safe injection dose of oxycodone is half the dose you would eat or snort.
Do not try to figure out how much oxycodone to inject based on how much hydromorphone (the active ingrediant in Dilaudid) you inject.
As for your other oxycodone pills, I already answered the question, but I'll try to do this again.
I'm somewhat confused at what you mean by oxycodone pills. Do they have a brand name? Are they something like Percocet, Percodan, Tylox, or Endocet? All of those contain acetaminophen aka APAP and you can't inject them without going through a lot of trouble that's not worth it. The only type of pill other than OxyContin in the United States that I'm aware of that has just oxycodone but no other drugs in it is OxyIR.
If your pills are OxyIR or you are absolutely sure that they don't contain another drug in them like acetaminophen, then yes, you could potentially inject them.
Okay, summary time:
A safe injection dose of oxycodone is half your oral or snorted dose.
Do not figure out an IV dose of oxycodone based on your IV dose of hydromorphone.
Do not inject oxycodone if it's from a pill that has acetaminophen or other drugs in it.
