Hello Bluelight! Long time lurker, first time poster
I’m relatively new to opiates and my question pertains to hydrocodone in particular. They don’t seem to work for me any more, and I find it hard to believe its tolerance already. The first time I tried hydrocodone I popped 15mgs and then 45 minutes later popped another 5mg bringing the grand total to 20mg. I began to feel all the tell tale signs (itchiness, good mood, warmness, etc) and around the 2 hour mark I began to nod off for about 20 minutes, followed by a couple of hours of pure euphoria that left me speechless. The next time I tried them (a week later) I got all the same effects minus the nod at 15mg. Now this is when things start going down hill. Another week later I did 20mgs again and felt absolutely nothing. Tried again another week later, same dose, and again absolutely nothing.
Now, all these attempts have been within a month. Any I using too often to keep my tolerance low? Is once a week at 20mg really too often? Surely I should feel something? The last 2 times I literally did not feel a single thing, and its beginning to piss me off, as this shit is expensive.
I also drank 2.5ozs of Promethazine/codeine cough syrup (85mg prometh, 135mg codeine) on New Years Eve and same result, felt absolutely nothing (which pissed me off even more, because you don't even want to know what I paid for half a pint of lean. It was legit too, family source).
The only other possibility I can think of besides tolerance would be that I was recently prescribed 30mg Mirtazapine at night before bed for sleeping. Ive only been on Mirtazapine for a little over a week too, but Ive done a little bit of research and found out this may be the problem as well. At least 1 of my hydrocodone attempts were made after being on mirtazapine, maybe 2. I don't remember correctly.
For what its worth, I also take Bupropion and Gabapentin daily for depression and anxiety, and I’m aware that Gabapentin decreases hydrocodone's bio-availability, so I always skip my dose of gaba when I dose hydrocodone.
What gives? Is Mirtazapine the cock block of opiates? Should I kiss that warm, fuzzy nodding off high good bye? Or is this most likely a tolerance issue?
Thanks guys.
