Trying Opana for the first time...few questions.

[SaosinEngaged]

My source also happens to be one of my best friends, so he's getting us some Opana 5mg (IR, I believe). He's taken them before, but I haven't. I'm a habitual user of Oxycodone. My tolerance with Oxy is about 15-30mg at a time. 15 gets me buzzed, 30 gets me very euphoric and "out of it."

What should I expect from the Opana? I know it's much stronger, but I'm wondering what a good starting dose for me would be based on my tolerance (I was thinking break the pill into fourths?). My friend really can't help me because his single dose tolerance to Oxy is in the 90mg range, so what the both of us would take wouldn't be near similar.

Are the effects significantly different than one another? Should I snort it or eat it? I've heard some concern over the silica content of Opana for insufflation, is this anything to be concerned about for a one time deal?

Thanks guys.

i think the silica is part of the TimeX in the ER formulation. but snorting pills is not great for your lungs or sinuses period.

i have never swallowed opana, and i have never dealt with a preparation of that active substance to pill ratio. but i can tell you that with the 40mg ER, a few mgs, 3-4, got me good--after a long come-up. though i am a poly drug user, so i often dose on the lower side. i heard another member say 2.5-5mg up the nose for a first time user. but i am not suggesting any of these doses.

the effects are different. though that is hard to describe. oxymorphone comes up slower and last longer (intranasal). it is warm and wet, as opposed to warm and buzzy.

whatever you do, enjoy!

since you don't have a huge tolerance i suggest start small. as you already know opana is very potent when insufflated and you don't wanna run the risk of taking to much and ruining the high by being sick.

when using for recreation insufflation is the best roa besides iv. eating opana sucks because of it extremely low oral bioavailability and is really a waste if your looking to get off on it. as far as the silica thing goes thats something that comes into play with long term insufflation. but on the other hand i'm sure there is always the rare case when someone is extra sensitive and messes up their lungs after short term insufflation. always be aware of the risks and consequences of drug use.

anyway, my recommendation for someone with your tolerance would be to chop the pill up into 5 even lines. start with snorting 2 of them(2mg) one up each nostril preferably. if your not where you want to be in 30 minutes snort another half line. but i'm guessing 2mgs will be plenty for your tolerance.

be safe!

I think these guys are being a little too safe. If you can handle 30mg of oxycodone then 5mg of oxymorphone snorted may not even get you to where you want to be honestly.

5mg of oxymorphone when snorted is equal to about 20mg of oxycodone if not less.

I say just do the whole 5mg or you will be dissappointed. A 2-3 mg difference isnt a life and death situation but it could be the difference between a not so good high and a good high.

Thanks very much for the advice. I'm getting about 4 of the 5mg pills, so even if I start "too low" the first time, I'll have three more for another day to "get it right."

I think I'm going to do the 5 even lines, and go for three in the beginning and use the last two over the next hour or two.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Thanks again.

you could come up with much worse plans. (edit: actually that could be confusing. i mean i think you are making a relatively good decision. bland humor can't always be priority.)

hope you love it! but not too much.
