Sorry for posting in this thread, but I'm new, and I got prescribed the 10mgs of these. It's the first time I've ever been on a long acting version. Also I'm not really keen on doing anything other than ingesting them orally as I take all my meds strictly for pain. But to be perfectly honest, because of my pain, I have a higher tolerance. I'm used to 30mg minimum of Roxicodone. So last night as an experiment I opened the capsule and found what look to be beads. Now again considering I HATE taking these meds by any other means then ingesting them, I'm no pro at doing them in more illicit ways. So I simply took the beads and crushed them with an old plastic card. (CC card) After that it was more along the lines of fine powder. I then snorted that. But it took 3 to get my pain relief, and I don't feel any sort of high like when I do on Roxicodone.
So what I'm wondering is, to at least get a better result with the pain relief, do I need to follow any additional steps? After I open the capsule, crush the beads, do I need to do anything else? And is just crushing the beads with a plastic card good enough? Again I'm not trying to get an insane high. I'm simply wanting more effective pain relief so these pills aren't worthless. So any additional help would be much appreciated!
