Oxycontin Keeping me Awake out of Nowhere
Hey every1. I am obviously a new poster around here who has been reading about a lot of different things on this site for a while now. I decided I would finally create an account and ask one of the hundreds of questions that I have.
So for the past couple of months I have been taking Oxycontin (usually snort it) and have been taking it on and off for the past couple years (along with a few other things which are irrelevant to my question). So at first my oxy tolerance was low and I'd bump 5-10mgs every hour or so. Lately I had been getting the 20mg Oxys (round and peach-colored; 20 on one side and OC on the other). Lately my guy just got 40s (rouch and dark-yellow; 40 on one side and OC on the other). These were cheaper so I was fine with it. Before I bump these kinds of OC I put it in my mouth to get that thin, colored layer (I think used for something related to releasing the OC when taken orally). I would crush up the whole 20 and bump it and feel pretty damn great. With these 40s it is the same, only I bump half of it--it is still 20 mgs. Since I have been snorting half the 40s (bump the 20 mgs every hour or 2 or whatever I am in the mood for). I have taking half of these yellowish 40s a few times now. I have gotten extremely tired since switching from bumping a whole 20mg vs. half the 40mg. It is the same mg and both Oxycontin from Purdue Pharma. Is there any reason that the 40s would make me really tired while the 20s wouldn't? Maybe 1 ingredient different or anything? I have taken these with a couple of my friends and they got tired from the 40s, too. I don't mind "nodding" or whatever, but I'd like to do it when I choose and not everytime I take some of these 40s. I didn't like being at a casino extremely tired and damn-near noddin off for a minute.
This just isn't making sense to me unless for some reason there is an extra ingredient in the 40s that I don't know about and couldn't find on the internet. I am still taking 20 mgs each dose; I have split the 20s and bumped half just like the 40s; They're the same pharmacutical company.
FYI: I take 1 mg of Xanax 4-5 times a day as needed. The ONLY thing that is different that I can think of that changed when I changed from the 20s to the 40s is one night I took (orally) a couple 15mg Morphine pills. I was just relaxing, watching some tv and took one. Then about an hour later I took another. I got tired from this and passed out about 30 minutes later for the night (fell asleep about 5 hours earlier than I normally do. However, I was very backed-up on my sleep and the Morphine was probably just the last thing that sedated me a little bit so I fell asleep). I am not worried about the Morphine making me tired, I just thought I'd throw that out there b/c that is one of the few things I noticed that are different. Most PKs actually keep me awake. When I take vic I can be relaxing watching a movie, but I will be awake real late.
Anyways, sorry this post is so long. Hopefully there is an easy answer and there is just a small difference between the 40s and 20s that makes me tired and if I do something differently I won't be so tired. Any help is greatly appreciated!
P.S. Tomorrow night I am going to a professional basketball game. I can't decide what I want to take so I thought I'd ask this group!
-I have taken quite a bit of OC, vics, and percs. Vics actually keep me awake longer than usual (thread of how to help that and enhance the vic will probably be coming in a few days). Percs and OC don't make me fall asleep any earlier than usual (except for as of late with these 40s). Codeine doesn't have an affect either way, and same with the Xanax I take daily. Do you think 15mg Morphine pills will make me tired knowing that most pills (besides sleeping pills) don't affect my fatigue except for Vicodin which actually keeps me awake longer?
What is a good amount of morphine (Again, I have the 15 mg pills) to take at once and/or in one night and how often? Are these good to snort as well? I have read a lot about IVing morphine, but I am not at that step right now.
Or also I could orally take or bump parts of those 40mg oxy and risk being extremely tired at the game.
Again, sorry my first post is so long. I just wanted to give as much detail as I could being a new member/no1 knowing anything I take. Thanks!
