Injecting - citric acid-oxycontin/roxicontin

[79towncar]

A friend of mine is convinced w/citric they can further dissolve their oxycontin/roxicontin solutin w/citric acid. Of coarse other ppl have a differnt perspective. Any information on this topic will be appreciated.

A lower pH will make any opiate in almost any form dissolve better in an aqueous solution. However, HCl salts and other salts (sulfate, acetate etc) are already 100% water soluble anyway within normal pH ranges.

Lower pH levels can make certain opiates have a higher lipid solubility (and therefor bioavailability) in blood.

This may be the reason that the friend is convinced of this, because he is getting a little higher than everyone else because what he is injecting may have a higher lipid solubility.

Hope this has been of help

Swim takes 240mg of oxycodone per day and has done so for many many years now. Swiy has never injected, but has crushed, split, chewed and anything else you can imagine to make the oxycontin an immedeite release. With that said he is very used to this feeling of each dosage. Well, the other morning Swim woke up and used a Jack Lalane juicer and used 2 apples, 4 oranges, 2 pears, 1 lemon, 1 tangerine, and about 10-15 stawberries and mixed them all into one huge juiced drink. He then took his regular dosages throughout the day, but realized on the very 1st of that something was off, and he was feeling way way more high! Each dosage was just better and stronger even though they are normal dosages. So Swim thinks that it was the citric acids that made these doses feel more intense.

I thought that citric or vitamin C is used to release the oxycodone from binders in generic instant-release pills. Oxycontin doesn't need this and is readily dissolved, but IRs have a much harder time if not acidified.
