What's the deal with Opana?

[sponger]

I got my hands on some 5 mg opanas the other day. I'm used to railing 10 mg oxycontins.

I know that's petty by bluelight standards, but I somehow have managed to keep my opioid tolerance fairly low over the years.

10-15 mg of railed oxy will give me a very nice buzz.

So, when I got my Opana the other night, I immediately railed up 10mg. But, this put me to sleep after about 15 minutes, and then I woke up vomiting. After I vomited, I fell back asleep, woke up some time later, and vomited again.

I didn't experience any euphoria at all. It was more like a sedative than anything else. Am I doing something wrong?

Opana is much much more potent than oxycodone, 10mg's of opana is like doing 60mg's of oxycodone IMO, thats why youre sick. I think many people undervalue opanas strength, I think its at least 6 times stronger than oxycodone mg for mg, but estimates and opinions vary, you should only be doing 5mg's of Opana and even that might be too much for you.

I would advise you to be careful getting tolerant to Opana, because trying to go back to oxy after getting accustomed to Opana is tough.

Opana is the king of the pharms IMO, but you have to be very very careful with it because its very very powerful.

I agree. Mmmm the best tho. Swim blows at least 20mg OC, but 1/4 of a 10mg Opana worked nicely.

What do you mean "petty by bluelight standards?"

Like every user of this forum is a battle-hardened, hardcore drug user who laughs at low dosages?

Whatever.

Yes. You took a pretty decent overdose, that's what you did wrong. An overdose doesn't necessarily produce any euphoria. Consider yourself lucky to be alive.

Don't ever make the mistake of confusing oxymorphone (Opana) with oxycodone (Oxycontin etc). Oxymorphone is exceedingly potent, but has a very poor oral bioavailability compared with oxycodone. That's why the tablets contain as much as 5 or 10 mg. When insufflated, the bioavailability is very much higher and it's treacherously easy to overdose.

If you're happy with 10-15 mg oxycodone (swallowed or snorted makes little difference), you shouldn't be insufflating more than 1-2 mg oxymorphone. I have a slight tolerance, but 5 mg is more than enough for me. I'd say it's comparable to 50 mg oxycodone swallowed or plugged, although the subjective effects of oxymorphone are different and somewhat unique in my experience.

Opanas are potent shit. Treat them with respect, guys and girls.

OP, next time research doses before you try out a new drug.
