Hello Fellow Bluelighters...new member...but longtime thread reader/researcher with a dilemma...

So I've been taking Hydrocodones (Norco 10/325) for a few years now, the occasional xanax, or valium but mostly hydros... The 2 times i tried an oxycontin it didnt really do anything for me (80mg each time).
Yesterday i got a bottle of 120x10mg oxycontins.
Being new to the world of oxy, i decided to start slow.
I took the coating off with my fingers, smashed up 6 of them (60 mg) and washed the powder down with some red bull on an empty stomach in the am.
Felt pretty good, about 2 hours later took my normal 7 Norco to fly through the afternoon.
About 1 i took a nap then woke up nauseous, puking by 3 and continued to until this morning at about 8, every couple hours like clockwork.

I guess my biggest concern is...is this a normal symptom of "i took too much shit" or coincidence that i caught a stomach bug.
Seems like i wouldn't puke that many times and for that long if it was just a bad combination ya know?
Being new to mixing hydro & oxy i need some advice before i swallow today's dose.
I typically eat anywhere from 7-15 norcos (hydrocodone 10/325) on a daily basis, and as i mentioned the few times i snorted &/or ingested oxy's it really didn't do much for me...not sure if the two cancel each other out but i need to know if mixing the two is normal & if so was that a fluke reaction to the two, or coincidental stomach bug.

Thanks in advance to any and all advice/suggestions.

P.E.A.C.E.
 
You might have taken too much and if you took an equivalent amount of either you'd have also gotten sick.

No, the 2 in no way cancel each other out, its quite the opposite, its an additive effect.

Mixing the two is probably pretty common, I know I was prescribed the two for round-the-clock pain and breakthrough pain for about 6 months and I've heard of people mixing them around here.

Main point: I don't know if you got a stomach bug or took too much (how could I?) but there is nothing inherent in THAT combination that made you sick. You probably just exceeded your tolerance to opioids.
 
seems you just took a little too much.

next time, try not doing so much at once. instead of 60mgs, try 30. wait, and then do 30mgs more after a little while.

vomiting is a really common side effect of taking a little too much. i mean, it could be a stomach bug.. but it's a pretty big coincidence.
 
"Yeah, you took too much man, too much, you took too much"...;)

As for the combo, I second what Cane2theLeft posted. Sixty milligrams of Oxycodone plus 70mg Hydrocodone, when you are used to only that Hydro dose, is quite an increase to jump right up to the way you did. That's roughly equivalent to going from your usual Hydrocodone dose of 70mg straight up to basically double that (140), probably even more like 150-160mg. And since you crushed the tablets, you received all of the drug at once, rather than continuously.

Pretty common, just take it slowly next time and you'll be fine.
 
I agree with you guys...it just seems to me that the vomiting-

A: lasted for way too long to be a dosage problem.
B: didnt start until like 6-7 hours later.

Today I started with 40mg of hydro, then right after i posted this took 40 mg of oxy (nasaly)and i barely even feel anything...but definitely no nausea...should i try 20 more mg oxy and a couple more hydro?

I need to find the right combination before this weekend so i can function @ school & work ya know...but i don't want to be puking all the time.

I feel like I have a pretty decent tolerance to opiates (i've taken up to 25-30 Hydro's in a day on many occassion, and regularly have at least 12 as i mentioned) but that's obviously nothing compared to some bluelighters out there obviously...

What tripped me out was the second time i tried an 80 mg oxy,i snorted about 3/4 of it then chewed the rest...and it didn't really do anything but make my hand go numb for a few minutes (couldn't hold a cig)...could have had something to do with the crystal i was coming down off though eh?
lol.
But seriously whats the best way to find my happy tolerance with minimal negative side effects...is layering a waste? (40 mg, wait an hour, 20 more, etc...) or will it actually be effective?
I need to figure this out because all that damn acetaminophen is ruining whats left of my organs, as much as i LOOOVE hydros i cant keep taking that many ya know?

Either way thank you for your advice everyone, gonna help me get to my happy place soon!!!
 
Does Lyrica cancel out the oxycodone. I just don't seem to get the same buzz, took more and felt sick.
 
Like these guys have said, you probably took too many opiates, and with your liver's poor condition, from exposure to many acute APAP overdoses, couldn't handle upping your dose by 100-120%. You should talk to your doctor about the amount of APAP you are taking every day, it's well above the daily recommended maximum. I'd be pretty concerned, it's more toxic and harmful than alcohol.
 
This could be a sign of liver damage. I knew a girl with similar symptoms due to constant APAP abuse please cut back your APAP intake by doing a CWE or just stopping completely your liver will thank you in the end.
 
It was probably the apap. I do cwe its easy clean and quick and the effects come on faster.... Save your liver.

Sidenote... My daughter hit me in the eye with a book and fucked my shit up I went to the dr and a shitty physicians assistant gave me fucking vicodin 5/500. Even taken as prescribed I got sick eventhough I have a decent opiate tolerance. Tylenol is poison.
 
First off, thank you all for your advice. It seems the bluelighters have spoken and i shall listen...

Ive researched a little bit into the CWE over the past few months and as im sure as naive as i have been there has been obvious irreversible damage done to my liver, hence me trying to find a new balance with the oxy's.
The thing im confused about is the CWE in general. I was under the impression that this was for mass quantities of hydros, not like 5 @ a time...am i mislead here? I take 5-7 @ a time (hydro), sometimes up to 3-4 times a day on a bad day...
I feel the toxicity getting worse & worse.
Im sure some people will post links to the generic CWE threads, but a bit more specifics would be greatly appreciated.
If i were to do an extraction on say 20 pills in the morning...could i just take sips off it throughout the day...or do i need to do a seperate extraction each time i dose?
As convenience isn't always my ally with work & school & such...ive just chewed my pills throughout the day.
I know now trying to find my balance with oxy's this will change things, however...i'm not really seeing much effect from the 4-6 10 mg pills (oxy) im taking..the hydro's seem to be the only things that actually do anything for me.
Is this normal?I thought that oxy's were supposed to be stronger.

Im afraid of something major happening due to my abuse/ignorance to my liver...once again...any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah...anyone know what (if any) side effects AMITRIPTYLINE might pose with this combo? Cant sleep cuz im wired from all the "fun" these friends bring along & melatonin isn't cuttin' it any more...8o
 
To make a CWE easier on a small amount: use a very small container (shot glass). Follow the method up to the point of pouring off the separated mixture. Don't pour the mixture into the filtering mechanism--leave it in the original container. Instead, moisten a small square (3x3) of paper towel, lower it into the shot glass until clear water appears on top of paper towel. Make small wad of cotton ball (about 1/2 inch across, use real cotton and not synthetic crap) and drop it into the liquid on top of paper towel.

Stick a syringe into the cotton ball and nose it down gently (if you don't have a real syringe, I imagine you can use a turkey injector). You can suck most of the clear liquid out of the mixture, filtering it through the paper towel and the cotton ball and leaving the sediment pretty undisturbed, behind. If you're anal, repeat with a few more ml of water.

You can squirt it right in your mouth, or into a closed container for later or whatever you like to do.

It helps to put the shot glass (or similar-sized container) in a larger vessel, like a 4-cup measuring cup or shallow mixing bowl, so you can a) use an ice bath and b) then just rest your hands on the rim of the larger container while manipulating the syringe.

I did this yesterday with two Tylenol 4s. Worked like a charm.

I think the above are right about the APAP, BTW.

The reason your not getting high as you think you would is because your tolerance.

if you can i would try to stop taking all pain meds for about 2 weeks at the most and one weak at least then your tolerance will go down.

and if i were you i would continue taking norco everyday but use the oxy only for breakthrough pain and only when you need it.

but if your looking to get high then you need to stop all pain meds for a week or two but preferably 2 to 3.
