Opioids What to expect on first experience with Oxycontin?

Nobody becomes addicted after trying anything once.
A truer statement would be that 25% of people who start taking heroin will become addicted...but im being a little too precise maybe.lol
Im inclined to agree with that figure as well because i have read the same thing from another source.
What i cant agree with is advice like "toss em down the hatch and cross your fingers", this is a HARM REDUCTION forum and while im sure it was just a glib remark that you didnt mean to be taken seriously, it isnt the kind of advice people give out here.
You have to be careful with yours remarks, not all drug users will have your level of knowledge and experience and what you consider a joke may well be taken as gospel by an ignorant and naive individual.
 
Going to be honest, I have not read any replies, so this is probably covered.. but I will let you know what to expect from my past use.

10mg, definitely a good place to start.. at least you aren't like plenty of idiots thinking they could rail a whole 80 (back in the day that is).

If this is Percocet, not straight oxycodone, you are better off eating it though some get a bit of placebo from snorting itself. Its really up to you, not like theres a ton of APAP in one pill. You may become nauseous, but probably not with that dose. Get ready to feel pretty great to be honest with ya.. you may find you need more, but 10mg should do SOMETHING to someone who is opiate naive.

PS - weight has no bearing whatsoever on opiate dosage

PSS - get ready to potentially be on a downhill ride the rest of your life.. for some people all it takes is one night of looking for a high on opiates.. and after that its fuckin game over
 
It's very possible your first opiate experience OP won't be pleasant. Many people, even despite low dosing, get nauseous, throw up, sweat, get headaches, etc, their first time using.

You can spend days just sitting on BL and reading all the posts about how opiates have ruined peoples lives. I'm not going to preach but, if you don't really have to try them and start on that path, don't.
 
^this i've known many people who stopped opiates after their first go at them because the got so damn nauseous it sadly didn't work out that way for me
 
^They never made me nauseous, I thoroughly enjoyed them. I used them rarely for around a decade before I started getting in too deep. It really came down to availability. My close friend was into oxy for 3 years or so, but I had kinda drifted away from him because we had a disagreement from working a job together and it ended kind of ugly. Once we reconciled and started hanging regularly again I would grab a 1/4 of an 80 for the weekend, in a month it as a 1/2, soon it was a whole one a week. That progressed quickly and in 9 months I was an addict. It doesn't happen overnight, thats for sure, but it can creep up on you.

Thing is I've been scripted Vics and Percs and Codeine for a few injuries over the years, never really had a great desire to keep using after they ran out. And many time I have snorted a OC 20 with friends to get high for a night, I can't say I wasn't inclined to get more after, but it wasn't easily available. Also opiates are not a cheap addiction, so being a poor high school or college kid makes it hard to justify gaining the addiction. But you start working and save up a couple grand and then you can do some damage to yourself.
 
I only read the first couple of replies and wanted to chime in that the first experience isn't always a good one and there's some small chance that you're allergic to it but that's a pretty slim chance.

Now a single use, multiple uses even, or using on rare occasions isn't going to make you an addict. What is *will* do, though, is let you know that you have something you're comfortable taking/using that makes you feel better as if by magic which becomes awfully tempting when you have issues in life. And that, right there, is what leads to dependency in my experience. You sound young so be careful and be certain that this is something you want to do and not you doing it because it's something other people are doing.

The risk of addiction is small but real. The outcome of that is never really a good thing. Maybe sometime I'll type out my experiences (I'm pretty old) but I'm afraid it would be a novella that nobody would bother reading. Also look your drug up at drugs.com and read the side effects and patient information that they have available there.
