Hello.

I have been recreationally using oxycontin for about 3 months straight now. The thing is i only cut up and snort about 5-25mg a day.

Can you please tell me if i will have those horrible withdrawl symptoms that many people talk about if i stop?

Please help and respond, thanks.

Rough,

I had to edit my earlier post after I re-read yours. Are you saying that you take between 5 to 25 milligrams a day or that you take (5) 25 milligrams doses a day ? If you are only taking 5 to 25 you should be able to taper off without to much trouble. Try taking less each day and then try skipping a day until you are down to zero. This takes willpower or letting someone hold your meds and dispense them according to your taper schedule. Please do what you can to get off them now, or suffer the consequences of a 24/7 oxy addiction that controls your life (like I'm living now). Good Luck !

While I have never "snorted" anything, I would think the withdrawal(if any) would be quite different than what people who just swallow the pill would experience. Also, when you snort a drug, how does it get into your bloodstream? Does it? Would you pass a urine drug test? Would you save your liver by taking meds this way? Would the snorted med still be effective for pain?

Forgive me for so many questions - I am really curious about the different effects on your body between snorting and ingesting.

Scruffi,

My friend, this is a most dangerous way to take the drug. It is in, by no means, a good way to take meds.

The reason why i do it is for recreation. It gets me "f*cked up."

what happens is, you remove the time release skin on the pill, then proceed to cut off, chop up, smash, howver you want to do it, the desired amount you want to take.

By doing this, it takes away the time release and the amount hits you VERY strong at once and lasts for about 4-5 hours.

if you were a first time user and you were to snort an entire 40mg pill, you would most likely overdose and go into a seizure or even die.

This is why i take a little at a time, but it is very strong at once.

I, in no way, recommend doing it that way, but it is the fastest and best way to get retarded off of it. It feels like heroine basically.

oh and it would show up in a urine test.

It is released into the bloodstream very fast because there are tons of bloodvessels in your nasal cavity.

Im not sure on how it affects the liver though.

Try Suboxone!!! It is a great detox drug. And it has a built in anti relaps drug called naxlone that keeps you from getting high if use and would make you sick. The move to Suboxone has been the best thing that I have ever done. It wasn,t a painless one but If I had the chance knowing what I know now I would do it a hundred times over. Thats the only thing that sucks is you have to be in withdrawal to start Suboxone or it will force you into rapid W/D and you will get very six. To give you an idea I was taking about 80mg of methadone per day before I left my doctor. I got myself down to 40mg per day then ran out of pills. About a day and a half later I started withdrawaling from the methadone. (It takes quite awhile to start withdrawaling from methadone becasue it builds up in your system) I went to the hospital that night because i couldn't take the withdrawals anymore. They gave me a shot of Dilatan to stop the withdrawals and gave me 15 10-325 perks until I can see a doctor. I could take three of them at once and not even feel anything, it would just stop the withdrawals for about 2 hours. I made them last two days some how. I took the last one two at 6:00am on 08-09-05 and I took my Suboxone (2-8mg pills under the tounge) at 1:30pm the same day. About thirty min later I actually started feeling worse and worse after about 45min I thought I might have taken it two early. (which when you do that it forces your body into withdrawal) I went to sit down on the couch to get on the web to see if I took it to early and this is not a joke, I was standing their and went to sit down, the second I hit the couch everything was gone. All the withdrawal symptoms, bad sweats, tremors, yawning, cramps, cold sweats, hot sweats, goose bumps and a whole other slue of ******** was gone. My second day and I am feeling the best I have felt in years. No withdrawal symptoms, depression or cravings. The first night it did nothing for my pain but woke up the second day and the pain feels a lot better. This stuff was sent here from GOD himself. (If you believe in that) other wise its just a really really super thing. I really think you should give Suboxone a shot. Most insurances will pay most of the cost otherwise the medication is kind of expensive. About 325 for 60 8mg pills. I only have to pay 40 bucks for them. Good luck to you and please sent me an email if you or anyone else has any questions. Shane.Gangidino@comcast.net THIS SITE IS A HUGE SUPPORT SYSTEM AND YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
