Hey there, recently I have started experimenting with opiates (codeine & oxycodone especially)

I know a normal side effect can be the breathing slowing down a bit, but it seems pretty strong to me

I really have to make sure every second I am breathing enough (if at all), and it makes me a a little scared

The thing is if I don't contently think about it I easily forget to breath, and I am even more scared to sleep in


So first of all:
Would it be dangerous for me to sleep in while experimenting such side effects? Or would I automatically wake up in case of lake of oxygen?

Secondly...
What can I do? Saw a few chemicals pointed out on wikipedia, but nothing I could get my hands on easily.


Perhaps I am just over thinking all this, and it is completely normal to experiment it this heavily?

Thank you for your answers :)
 
It's generally a good idea to not go to sleep if you think you're overdosing. When you sleep your body naturally slows down the heart/breathing rate and adding opiates onto that can be dangerous.
 
You def wont wake-up unless you dont od. Sometimes I used to nod off and wake up an hour later covered in drool and gasping for air. When I OD'd though I remember thinking about how awesome sleep would be. I was standing up and partying but I had done so much dope that I was super excited about going to sleep. Good thing my friends were there cause otherwise I would have totally died. In the ambulance my heart stopped for a minute or so.

ODing is such a horrible thing. I'd suggest not chancing it and never over doing your dose.
 
Mhm, this happens even at 15mg oxy... So I don't really think it has anything to do with dosing to high?
 
Maybe you should take that reaction as a warning. Everyone is different and maybe you will od on a much smaller dose than most. It's really scary waking up gasping for air, or not waking up.

Seriously though, ODing will fuck your life up. 15mg of oxy is not worth dying or potentially ruining your life for.
 
Time to move on to something else man, thats some scary shit. Ive noticed respiratory depression when I accidentally dosed too much oxy, it scared the shit out of me, and it wasnt even as severe as yours sounds. Ive been twice as responsible with my research and dosages since that night.

Sounds like oxy isnt your drug my friend, breathing is waaay more important than a weak opiate dose. If you can handle weed, the "wax" theyre smoking nowadays gives me an amount of euphoria comparable to opiates. Good wax seems twice as strong as good hash, or more easily. Ive literally nodded off strong indica waxes before, and I wasnt sick when I ran out :p
 
i've taken much high a dose than it would have took at the time for me to OD and die and i blacked out threw up but lived so it's probably all in your head at such a modest dose
 
Ive been what i consider a heavy addict for years and have never experienced having to "check" my self on my breathing. And I was doing bundle+ shots at one point...

Lower your dose?
