New to Oxycontin, any help would be appreciated

[pavey21]

SWIM is going to try oxycontin for the first time in the a couple days. SWIM has decided to snort rather than chew. SWIM is about a 185lb male with probably close to no opium tolerance.(although he has tried many other things) How much is safe/ideal for swim to snort on his first time? What activities should Swim be doing while on it? How long will it last for Swim?

swim is probably also going to be trying it with a 130lbish female, how about her dosage? Sorry for the loaded question Swim has already browsed these forums and gained some info on the drug. Thanks!

One has found that in the early stages railing about 20mg was pretty damn good. But that said tolerance varies from person to person even when there is "no tolerance" present. Some people just handle it better than others.

One would actually suggest trying to rail 10mg first, see how one feels in 30 mins or so and make more decisions from there. Remember that re-dosing can be BAD at times. So one would also suggest that if one was not satisfied with railing 10mg, wait a few days and then try the 20.

One might also want to look at this following thread before deciding.

Hope this has been of help

a couple of rules that swim should consider. never take pain pills on an empty stomach, especially oxycotin in high doses. because you will probaly get sick and vomit. you will waste the pill and its unpleasent. also oxycotin is time-release. that layer will cause health problems if you snort enough of it. so be sure to remove the layer.

It was already mentioned that the swimmer in question decided to snort rather than chew but the empty stomach thing does still apply as vomiting is not pleasant. Oxycontin can come in both SR and IR forms so it would be interesting to find out which one the SWIMMER has and an appropriate answer be given. Take off any outer layer on any pill. Oxycontin and MScontin however both have time release inside the pill also (its like a wax throughout the pill itself) crushing it will of course crush down more than enough of it to be absorbed into the membrane of the nasal cavity. The wax can only be removed by "cooking" on a spoon like a shooter does and filtering through a pill filter into a needle or something similar to a pill filter like a small piece of balled cotton etc.

Hope this has been of help

Swim would suggest chewing and starting at 20mg or less. Oxycontin is too powerful of a drug to mess with.

SWIM recommends starting with no more than 20mg. It can be dangerous to take more than this, because the dose/response curve has a slight delay. (SWIY may not feel the effects for some time. This can cause the user to re-dose too soon - before the full effect of the first dose has come on.)

SWIM recommends insufflating 10mg and waiting.

Unless SWIM is mistaken, MScontin is morphine time release, which is a different compound.

Just start out small, you can always take more but take too much and it can get real unpleasant. SWIM prefers oral oxy as it lasts longer and still has a decent kick, maybe snort a little while waiting for it to kick in. 20mg oral is perfect for an opiate naive person, maybe less if they're small

[samuraigecko]

All good recommendations.

It seems that the trend from SWIM and the rest of the SWIMMMERS is to start from 10 to 20mg. 20mg is a pretty big snorting dose for one who is not opiate tolerant so like another suggested one could snort a little to get the feeling for it while waiting for SWIyour 20mg to kick in. As always Caution is advised with first-time opiaters. LOL

Cheers, great work everyone.

Ya starting small should be good cus swiy has little tollerence. The first time swim snorted an oxycontin swim got screwed up as hell. At this point in time swim could snort a hand full of vicodin and some liquid hydrocodone and barely get a buzz so dont feel bad about only taking ten mg its strong stuff.
