Opioids Roxicodone or Oxycontin: What would you prefer?

i seriously never got the right amount of either to understand the hype with pks, id always either get hot and feel sick, or miss the euphoria cause of filler. but id say oxy. Purely because u can get more mgs per pill. then again, rox was only a one time deal
 
Roxi's are easier to snort, easier to slam though that's not my thing, and while contin gives me a more sleepy and noddy high, Roxi's give me more of a feel-good energetic high where I feel like like I can run on clouds and jump on top of mountains. Though if I take a dose of Roxi that's 120mg or higher then I still start nodding, but contin still always gives me a more tired and sleepy nod while on Roxi's I just feel good and can snap out of it whenever I need to while still feeling good.

Roxi's are also much more popular than OC's here and though they're usually around the same price, OC's can be more expensive sometimes. For some reason the generic oxy's that don't even say OC on them but have a hard-as-fuck coating like the purple 40's fuck me up the most, I don't know why, even the generic 20's with the really hard coating still do more to me than both Roxi's and OC's. Maybe it's all a placebo effect because it is technically supposed to all be the same chemical, but I'm definately not the only person around here that from loads of experience believes that rock-hard generic oxycodone > Roxi > OC in terms of high.

Explain this...it's the same shit

Maybe you're talking about the dosage...?

Maybe it's just me because i've only done OC's like five times while I did Roxi's countless times. Whenever I snff an OC the warm fuzzy feeling take a little bit longer to kick in for me than a Roxy and I usually don't do more than 40mg of OC. Then once it kicks in I feel so tired and lazy that usually if I nod out I accidently end up passing out and waking up two hours later. When I do a Roxy I usually get the warm fuzzy feeling after only a minute or two and instead of not wanting to do shit and nodding out I feel like doing something productive whether physically or mentally, and then about an hour later I take a break and get a little nod. They just feel different for me for some reason, OC feels like it takes a bit longer to kick in and makes me sleepy and noddy as soon as I feel it while Roxy hits me within a minute or two and gives me a nice body high that makes me go out and do stuff while not making me overly sleepy or noddy for an hour or so unless I take at least a 150mg dose compared to 40-80mg of Oxy.
 
Sounds like placebo, but who am I to tell you how you're feeling =D

I just found it interesting as I've never heard that before, and have had both myself and didn't experience it
 
Not sure I want to bother to comment on this at all, since the thread has no real direction, but it's odd to me that SO few people have actually said to the poster: They're the same drug, in the same dosages, they will have identical effects. The cheers of "i like oc!" or "roxie for me!" are ridiculous. The only reason I ever had a choice of the two was because where I live the roxis were about half the $ the OCs were on a mg/mg basis.

I guess that's why I posted.. someone above said they pay higher for roxi than oc, to me that seems so odd as the price of oc has always been significantly more here.

To the person that was meandering on about the "time release" of an oxy and how that would somehow hurt the high, well, that's what proper crushing or grinding is for. I promise, it works. People have been getting wasted on 'em for almost 15 years now.

Another poster - if your dealer never runs out of OC, that could be because it's harder to come up with the cash for 80s than it is 15s & 30s. *Especially* in certain areas. Could also be because of where you live (these things are more regional than some realize). Could also be because he has some out-of-town connection. Could be he has a crooked pharmacy backing him. Could be him eating the roxis because he makes less money on them. Could be a lot of things.

To the poster(s) (forgot names) that said they preferred oc over roxi slightly, and it was in their opinion because they snorted them, I have to agree with you a little. When I would crush a roxi they would get all powdery, very fine. Very easy to be sucked past your nasal cavity and into your throat/lungs, if your nasal cavity is "dry." It seems like the "dust" from an OC has more "weight" or "stickiness" (this second one is likely I think) and therefore adheres slightly better to the place you (I!) want it.

Orally, if you properly crush your OC, and the dosages are equal, the effects *will* be identical. Unless you're getting bunk OCs.. there's been quite a few different ones over the years if you look at the gov's website.

Dangerchamber - I've been wondering that for the last 20 minutes while I skimmed this thread. *Still* can't believe more people didn't say what you did. "Its the same thing. How can there be a significant difference?"
 
i equate the difference in pill formulations to be akin to Marijuana or wine (not really but sorta, follow me for a sec)

the different formulations provide for different subtle nuances in the high (maybe)

yea its nothing significant and possibly psychosomatic but also alot of the difference (for me atleast) resides in the preperation.

cuz yea OC are easy to get to a powder (hose clamp), the ease of just crushin an ir and having a comparable powder to the hose clamp is just conventient for one thing. (im a snorter) and for whatever reason i also just enjoyed the IRs more

yes mg for mg its all oxycodone but whether its real or imagined i feel there is a difference, MINIMAL albeit.
 
OK, I hear you, but I suck the outer coating off the oxycontin, crush it, water it up ... slightly heat it (not to a boil), add cotton, suck it up and slam that shit. Are you telling me that a roxi out of the bottle will hit me differently than an oxy with its outer coating sucked off?

No, I'm obviously talking about eating them. As someone who eats my pills (as they are intended to be consumed) popping an IR ROXI right out of the bottle as it comes is far less to deal with than having to rinse off the coating and crush an OC before eating it. For someone who eats their drugs it makes a lot more sense to choose IR over ER for ease of abuse.

And just for the record; the time release mechanism of the OC has nothing to do with the coating. The coating is for ease of swallowing and quick identification due to color coding ONLY. The time release mechanism is the slow dissolving matrix of the pill. If you were to remove the outer coating of an OC but still swallow it whole it would still be extended release. Think of the pill like a fish net the dope is INSIDE the little pockets or open areas of the net distributed evenly.

i think it's safe to say everybody knows this! it has been mentioned hundreds of times on this site and quite a few times in THIS THREAD. coating is not time release. coating is not time release, coating is no time release
 
Id take the equivalent amount in 30mg roxi's over OC's. The 30mg roxi's I have had have always been tiny and easy to crush, I love how simple they are.

Well I bring it up because BuckieGoldstein's wording implied that sucking the coating off negates the time release mechanism and also someone in another oxycotin thread claimed it was, I had to go find links to the product insert to prove it to them. We will quit having to post it when naive drug users stop posting on this site.
 
I am prescribed RoxiCodone for ligitamite pain management and not abusing, I do not doctor shop and have been with the same P/M doctor for 4 years now. I pay nothing for the Roxys due to my insurance either blowin or ingesting 30mg's with 1 500mg Tylenol, to kick it off they last 6 to 8 hours. I have severe lower lumbar damage on all 5 vertebra, 3 broken and 2 blown disc's. Also I have sciatica all due to a skydiving accident.
