Opioids The more I dose oxycodone, the less I feel it

Hello, this is my first post on any forum EVER and I am very nervous...

So let's get started shall we?

I am quite familiar with the drug oxycodone and has used it recreationally many times with proper breaks inbetween.

My first time with the drug, I took 20mgs and felt absolutely fine, no nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath or other negative side effects. Since then I has allowed my tolerence to drop down to, what I thinks is, zero before dosing again, each time using 20mgs. However, 2 nights ago, after a break of about 6 months or so, I took 20mg of oxycodone (percocet) and it just didn't feel as good as I remembers it feeling.

I hit my peak after about two hours and from there continued to feel it, but the whole time I was wishing I had done more. So, tonight I decided I felt safe doing 40mgs of oxy, this is the second time I has dosed over 20mgs in my life and was extremely nervous doing so because it seemed like such a big leap.

Here's the strange part...

The first time I dosed over 20mg I had just eaten a fairly large meal, popped 30mgs and felt absolutely nothing. I chopped the bad experience up to eating prior, however tonight, on an empty stomach, I dosed 40mgs and is feeling less euphoria and warmth than the 20mg dose I had a couple of days ago...

So what the heck is wrong? Has anyone else experienced this? Or is this some sort of strange fluke in my body chemistry?

Thanks,
Ron

Its ok to talk in first person here. Are the oxycodone pills the same brand as one another? I know this shouldnt matter, but I have heard of it making a difference, and I always used to have the best luck with mallinckrodt brand pills.
 
i dunno man, sorry. I would recommend adding a summary to your post though. It was hard for me to follow.
 
I've heard of studies conducted on ex-heroin addicts, they were given a dose of morphine IV, and it was much less effective, if at all, than it is for the average pereson. Excessive opiate usage can lead to ruining the way your opiate receptors work. But I doubt 20mg of Oxycodone would do this?
 
This is basically a variation on SWIM, which is not allowed here. It will not help you in court, so please edit it all out of your entire post (including the title).

That's weird man, did you have a full stomach the second time you took it? Was one pill XR and the other IR?
 
Lol I just made a post about my mushroom experience. the first and only.. called Eighth of shrooms. check it out
 
@OP, we do not use SWIM or any variation of it, I roughly edited your first post for you to edit out the illegal cruelty against animals from your post.

"Further, the use of ineffective self-incrimination avoidance terms is forbidden. Terms include but are not limited to: SWIM; my dog; my cat; a mouse; my pet hamster."

bluelight is officially a 'no-swim' zone.

What you are describing is a naturally occurring phenomenon known as tolerance.

OP, please read the BLUA and OD guidelines prior to making any more posts, thankyou!
