Since 14 I have been battling with a painful degenerative bone disease which has resulted in me sadly eventually being prescribed 90 30's a month (this is serious pain i live in at 22, my bones are equivalent to an 80 year olds in bone density scans) but this thread is nothing about any of that, just thought i'd put it out there nothing is being illegally obtained. Not going to lie, I do abuse my medication at times, but the thing with me is "when they are gone they are gone" I will go through withdrawal, it's nothing for me, I don't even have any connections on the street, it most defiantly is a "addiction", but by NO means has it ever became a "problem" so to speak. I have a large tolerance for these, I haven't taken them in about 3 days, I was in minor-withdrawal, nothing serious at all very bearable, just some RLS & shit. My dumb ass takes 90mg & then goes and takes another 30, 120mg total. I have done 180mg when my tolerance has been very high, but my tolerance must not have been as high as I thought it was this time. Out of every fucking script of every month since I was 17, the thousands upon thousands of MG's I have put in me; this has NEVER happened to me what happened last night. The whole opiate buzz in itself didn't seem "right". Something just didn't seem right about it, & I have heard people say that take too high of a dose say sometimes it doesn't feel "right" so to speak. So I end up passing out at 1130, I wake up at 147 almost dead, literally. I must of been shallow breathing & shit, I couldn't catch a breathe, I got up & pissed like a gallon, I couldn't breathe forever. Eventually once I got some oxygen in me after 15 minutes I started being able to walk straight & semi-catch a breathe, & then I got a BANGING migraine because obviously my brain was deprived of oxygen from the shallow-breathing. This scared the living fuck out of me; almost to the point where I never even want to do them again. Never have I ever felt like I was truly going to die, I know for a fact if I did not wake up I would have. If someone can explain to me what exactly happened to me I would appreciated it so much. Please stay safe guys, it's fucked up because I have a huge tolerance & shit still does happen...
 
Anyone...? Im actually having some sharp pain in my chest, hopefully I'm okay now...so stupid.

Sounds like you overdosed - most od's mess with your respiratory system (http://www.novusdetox.com/opiate-overdose.php). Stay safe - try and be more
conscious of how much you take....especially when you take a few days off then hit it hard like that. About a year ago when I was only snorting dope I took about 4 days off and thought I'd get real high so I snorted about two bags worth. I was at work and passed out for probably half a minute when I woke up I had the worst migraine ever as well.
 
Migraines/headaches are pretty synonymous with opioid overdose. I believe it's the lack of oxygen from shallow breathing whilst you're asleep. It's really scary stuff, and hurts like hell for a good day I found...Did you wake up in a state of panic/confusion?
 
Thank you 2 so much, I'm crying so hard right now. I can't believe this. My chest hurts man, so fucking scary, think I will be straight though? Time to slow down completely man, if/when I feel withdrawal kick in tomorrow I'm just going to take 1. Im done with this, this never happened before this scared me too much man. By the way, it's the right side of my chest hurting.
 
Hella confused man, scared as fuck. & my eyes sort of felt like glued shut, i was so dizzy and shit. once i walked around for 15 minutes & talked to my mom and got a grip on reality my head started throbbing and shit. this has never happened, I'm MORE than an "expireneced user" as well, that is putting it very very lightly.
 
Everyone else is spot on. I've od'd a few times myself, some of which were comparable to you.

Head hurt like a MOTHER FUCKER. Lack of oxygen did that to you as well i'd say, because when i would shoot back awake, i'd barely be breathing. I'd start taking deep breaths and the dizziness/nausea/migraine would start fading away, slowly but surely.

Sounds identical to my OD experiences. As other said all of those are synonymous with an OD as they are all from lack of oxygen. If you were shooting back awake barely breathing and would improve when you started taking your deep breaths, i'd say you were close.

Next time do less opiates. as you should have noticed, doing this man is NOT fun. It actually does NOT feel good when you OD: Your head fucking hurts, your eyes deceive you, and shit, you aren't conscious so you dont even enjoy the high!
 
I think you got a lucky escape. You're clearly shaken and rightly so. Channel this into a positive turnaround and make the most of it!

Nailed it on the fucking head man. Odd part was there no was nausea what so ever here, my chest is still so fucking tight man. I can't believe I did this fucking shit I have been doing this long enough to not make mistakes like this, I am so disappointed in myself. I was only asleep for like an hour man, I couldn't breathe at all when I got up all dizzy & confused with my eyes like glued shut I had to rub my face down with cold water. Do you guys think I will be okay when the 24 hour mark hits & I feel a little W/D to take 1 30mg? Im going to just taper take 1 30 for 2 days then 15mg for 2 days, then I'm done for a long time man. After months & months of scripts, years, this has never happened to me. This chest & breathing shit is no fucking joke...i love you guys for being caring, for real. Thank you. My chest still hurts, so if it still hurst tonight even if I go into minor w/d should I not take 1?
 
Yes you should be fine taking your prescribed dosage of only 30mgs. Just don't over do it ever again! It's very dangerous and consider yourself lucky.
 
Thank you so much! I truly am lucky, I have cheated day 2 times when I had seizures as well doing mushrooms after long-term opiate use & no hallucinogenic use; my brain just went crazy when it trys to go "up". To be honest, this might even of been scarier than the 2 seizures. The fact that my chest still kills is fucked up. Do you think I should just not even take the 30mg tonight? I was planning on waiting until 7 (24 hrs after my dose, i took that 120 at like 6 o clock yesterday). My chest is still soooo tight though! Do you think ill be fine or should i just play it safe? Or is this just how my chest feels cause I almost died? Or will 1 cause my chest to get even tighter? I just want to sleep tonight well man, that was the scariest shit ever.
 
Jesus, you almost did not wake up man. Had you consumed a benzo, I am convinced you'd probably be dead right now. Count your blessings and make a major lifestyle change.

Life is taken for granted by too many, unfortunately it often requires a near-death-experience for people to change. Some people never change, and are killed in action.
 
I know man, thank you, I'm so scared. The RLS from withdrawal are starting (it's 3:26, I took that dose at 6 yesterday). Im so scared to take 1 30 because of my chest-tightness....any opinions on this? Thank you so much! I refuse to take any risks...
 
What are the chest pains like? That is something I would see a doctor about to be honest. Chest pain might just be caused by muscle spasms when you were struggling to breathe or something, but it could be something more serious, like a problem with your heart. An opioid overdose can cause a heart attack or cause the heart muscles to weaken and lose their ability to function properly. A failure of the heart to function properly can lead to pulmonary edema, where the lungs fills up with fluid, resulting in chest pain, difficulty breathing and palpitations. If you're having chest pains I would go to the ER - better safe than sorry. You don't even have to tell them you were trying to get high of your meds.

What drug was this by the way?

ETA: In the meantime, I would crush some aspirin and swallow them. In case of heart attack it's always good to take aspirin immediately.

The chest pain is just like, really tight. It was bad on the right side at first, now its just really tight all together. I can catch deep breathes & shit, it's just tight as fuck.
 
Nah man, after that whole scenario that happened when I woke up I was so scared to fall back asleep...I never felt ANYTHING like this, 4 years later, like 64 90 30mg scripts later. My heart is def doing some funky shit...I was told this will be like this for at least a day though. Sucks cause I'm entering the withdrawal period now where my legs hurt so I won't be able to sleep well at all. I refuse to take even a half though. Way to scared. Do you think it would be better for my body to take a half though? Or would that make the chest tightness even worse?

Edit: Really appreciate the fast responses man, this is so fucked up.
 
Opioids are very benign on your body, I think you could take 7.5mg (1/4 of a 30) if you're very concerned, see how you feel then take another 7.5 if you like, for a total of 15mg in split dosing. It might help with your RLS and let you sleep tonight.
