I'm pretty new here, and I see lots of folks getting yelled at for posting stuff in the wrong section, or posting something that's already been posted. But I searched, and couldn't really find anything to answer my question. So I was wondering.... I have an ongoing script for oxycontin 30mg. But I take more than directed, (I usually crush and swallow 90mg at a time, twice per day) so I always run out way early. Normally I get a few methadones from my uncle to prevent the withdraw symptoms, then I just go without until I can get my oxy's refilled. But he's out. So now I have a connect for 7/750 vicodins. If I take these, will I feel anything as far as a buzz? If not that's cool, I'm actually more concerned about stopping the withdraw from the oxy's (it's awful awful awful, I'm sure as many of you know). I was just wondering this, because I'm pretty sure they're all opioids, but they're based from something completely different, right? So how many of these do I need to take?

I should also note that for the past three days, I've been trying to ease myself down with my last few oxy's. I've been taking one, twice per day. Not sure if that makes a huge difference.

Please help! Thanks, in advance!=D
 
Yeah, you probably won't achieve any sort of significant buzz, but it may ease the withdrawal symptoms. Be careful taking those though, taking too much APAP is harmful to your liver, I'd recommend doing a CWE on the hydrocodones because otherwise you'll be consuming too much APAP which we don't want. As for what they're based off, they're both derivatives of thebaine and are semi-synthetic opioids.

I would second the reccomendation for doing a good CWE. You shouldn't dose more than 2000mg acetaminophen at once (4000mg over a 24 hour period) so just over two of those tablets would put you over the limit.
 
Myxomatosis gave you some great advice about watching your Tylenol intake. You should NEVER take more than 4000mg of Tylenol a day and even less than that if you take it every day or if you drink alcohol with it.

The Vicodin will help stave off withdrawal but most likely you won't feel any kind of 'high' from it, just 'normal'-which is a high in and of it's self when your having withdrawal.

Be aware that if you are ever drug tested, Vicodin will NOT test the same as OxyContin. Vicodin's active ingredient is Hydrocodone and OxyContin's active ingredient is Oxycodone. They do NOT show up the same on a drug test. So be prepared for that if you need to be.

Finally, rather than going through this worry and stress every month (must suck!) talk with your doctor about your dosage and tell them that you think you may need to increase your dosage.

You may also do some research on ways to potentiate your OxyContin that will allow it to last longer because you won't need to take as much per dose. There is a ton of good information available on this if you do some research.

I hope this helps and my apologies if I have said anything that is not allowed-I am still learning so, MOD's please let me know if I have overstepped any boundaries.

We are here for harm reduction not scamming doctor's and shoving condoms up pussies with urine to pass drug test's. Please read the Bluelight guidelines before posting again.

Yeah, I'd edit the drug testing stuff out of your post (and the poster above who quoted it.)
 
I did not mean to offend anyone but what you are stating is not harm reduction that is total scam. I am sure the Mod's agree with me.
 
dear dokomo,

Thank you so much for letting me know that you thought I should edit my post AND for doing so in such a kind tone of voice, I really do appreciate the members who help me learn about using the site and do so in a way that is nice. There are so many ways to say the same thing-I really notice when people choose to communicate in a way that spreads kindness. So, thank you for helping me learn and for doing so in a way that makes me feel like you really want to help rather than just belittle me.
 
Dear Dankycodone,
Thanks for the reply. I really do appreciate it AND I do appreciate your letting me know I overstepped the boundaries. I have edited my post and I hope that it is now acceptable. If you don't mind, would you please remove the quote from your posting so that the information I wrote, that is not acceptable, is removed. Thanks again-it's all good.

No problem! That's what this community is here for.

Harm reduction doesn't mean helping people eliminate every single consequence they may experience from their drug abuse, it means informing people of those consequences and helping them stay safe. Helping people avoid natural consequences can produce so much more harm for individuals because it almost inevitably catches up to them and if they were able to use for longer and their habits get larger, they'll just fall harder.

As was mentioned, drug testing issues and questions of 'scamming' doctors are not allowed around here.

Since this is a pretty basic and straight-forward dosing question I'm going to send this to basic drug discussion.
