Swallow Crushed Hydrocodone to Nod?

I am wondering whether to eat crushed hydrocodone in order to get a nod. I have almost no tolerance to opiates. Relevant details are below:


I have six pills of hydrocodone. Each pill is 5 mg of hydro and 325 mg of acetaminophen. I'm basically new to opiates though I have done low doses a few times and never in consecutive days.

I have even less experience with hydro than other opiates though my experience with oxycodone might be a guide. I once swallowed 20 mg of oxycodone (which were 325 mg of acetaminophen and 5 mg of oxy per pill) or 4 whole pills and then an hour later swallowed 10 mg of oxy crushed up. That is a total of 30 mg. I felt pretty high but felt I could take more. The only negative side effects were itchiness and difficulty sleeping. I hear oxy and hydro have different potencies.

  1. So should I crush it up to nod?
  2. If so, how much should I take?
  3. How does the experience differ from taking them whole? Etc.
  4. How functional will I be throughout the high?
  5. Will I have trouble sleeping?
  6. How can I safely potentiate the effects?
  7. How much would it take to od if swallowed crushed?
  8. How much would it take to od if swallowed whole?

Thanks for any help.
 
Since the tablets are instant release to begin with, crushing them may just help them kick in a tiny bit faster, although they should kick in pretty quickly as is. Not gonna be much different than swallowing whole. All of your questions are subjective, and pretty much impossible for us to give you an exact answer. If you have taken oxy before, you should already have a pretty decent idea of what the effects will be.

For nodding, oxy is a pretty stimulating opiate, and I would always have trouble getting a good nod going. I had built a tolerance obviously, but even taking 150mg+ I would still rarely nod. It wasn't until I started fucking with IV H and diluadid and oxymorphone that I REALLY started experiencing a killer nod. Although that is not recommended.
 
To begin you will want to perform a Cold Water Extraction, which will remove the acetaminophen. This is necessary because apap is bad for your digestive system. It will also make for a cleaner high and increases onset. With the tolerance you stated, try ~60mg and be careful about exceeding that dose until you are certain of how you react to the drug.

  1. So should I crush it up to nod?
    As the other poster stated, crushing may speed up the inital high a little.

  2. If so, how much should I take?
    If you took 30mg of oxy to feel good, then you will need about 45mg hydro.

  3. How does the experience differ from taking them whole? Etc.
    Not by much, as stated before. Faster onset.

  4. How functional will I be throughout the high?
    You will be pretty functional, but may get very tired and nod. I would not take this unless I had an open schedule for the rest of the day. After you use it once, you will have a good idea of how well you function on it.

  5. Will I have trouble sleeping?
    Probably not.

  6. How can I safely potentiate the effects?
    You may want to take an antihistamine. This may slightly potentiate it, as well as keep you from being too itchy.

  7. How much would it take to od if swallowed crushed?
  8. How much would it take to od if swallowed whole?
    I will group these two together. Assuming that you are not taking any other CNS depressants (alcohol, benzos etc..) the lethal dose for a non-tolerant user is around 350mgs.

Also, it is important to do a CWE if you are taking doses of APAP of 3000mg in one sitting, or 4000mg total for the day. If you are taking the drug regularly, then you should always do a CWE. The link was provided by one of the above posters.

You don't need to do a cold water extraction. No reason to listen to the above post. If you took all 6 you would have less than 2000mg of acetaminophen.

1. You don't need to crush them. Just swallow them. Crushing them will just make the effects kick in 5 minutes quicker.

2. If you have taken 30mg of oxycodone then I would suggest you take all 6 for a total of 30mg of hydrocodone. Hydrocodone is a little weaker than oxycodone. Take it all at once. Don't redose, it is less effective.

3. The experience is no different then taking them whole. Like I mentioned on question 1, they just kick in about 5 minutes quicker. The effects aren't more potent.

4. Your taking an opiate so you won't be completely functioning. Its best to take when your alone.

5. No you shouldn't have trouble sleeping. In fact opiates make you sleepier.

6. Grapefruit juice and Tagamet will both increase the effects.

7. Crushed, It would take more than 6 pills to make you OD.

8. Swollen whole, it would take more than 6 pills to make you OD
