Possible OD?

[mzemily]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a fairly new member and always come here if I have drug questions. I did something stupid yesterday and know I will probably get shit for it, but I am curious enough to risk the embarassment.
In the late afternoon I took 10mg of dextroamphetamine, and a little while later I took 25mg of Roxi's (5mg oxycodone/325 acetaminophen)....about 3 or 4 hours, stupidly I took 2 hydroxyzine pills (100mg total, I heard they potentiate opiates) and two more Roxi's. I have a pretty good opiate tolerance, can normally take 40-50mg at a time and not have any problems. This time, probably 2 or 3 hours after taking all of that, I got very sick. Shaking, sweating, stomach cramps, rapid heartbeat. After about half an hour I started to feel better but was really freaked out. I'm just wondering which part of what I took caused such a problem. I was thinking either the hydroxyzine, or the possibility that the Roxi's were old. I don't know if they become toxic or anything like that after a certain period of time.
Again, it was a stupid thing for me to do, but I'm hoping to get some feedback so I don't go through something like that again.

Thank you!

The only issue I can address is to the age of the 5/325 percs.
I highly doubt this would cause a problem.
I have ate 5/500s(Tylox) that were 14yrs. old, and were as good as new.
If they were kept dry, they last a VERY long time.

Also it is a bit confusing, the way you use the term "Roxy."
Roxies are ONLY Oxycodone, and are either 5, 15, 0r 30mg., in pill form, at least.
I think you meant you took Percocets. While it don't make much difference, at least in this case, it is still confusing to read.

Thanks for your input...I'm sorry about the confusion, you are right, they were percocets. And they were probably 10 years old, so I appreciate your thoughts on the age. It seems like the only unusual thing were the hydroxyzine's...

HaHa
Indeed, I stand corrected.
It's just that almost all the time, around here, the term "Roxi" seems to always mean Roxicodone. But there are certainly the "cets" too.

True...I just looked up the pills I referred to as Roxi's on the pill identifier and they are listed as Roxicet, 5 oxycodone/325 acetaminophen. Not that it matters much either way.
Tonight I've taken about the same amount, minus the hydroxyzine, and have had no problems. I think that is what screwed me up last night.
