Injecting - Injecting generic oxycodone please help

[tweakerfrommars]

I have generic 5mg oxycodone tablets. There's something like 450mg APAP. I have never injected anything except for methamphetamine, which seems much safer and cleaner than injecting these, but I want to try it.


I read on some other posts about removing wax coating from Oxycontin, but people say the generics must be prepared differently.


A friend who regularly injects Oxycontin says he crushes up the pill, boils it, then injects. Can I just do this and be safe (I would be using four pills to equal one 20 of oxycontin).


Is filtering the binders and coatings and such absolutely necessary (because as I said, he doesn't do it and always comes out fine), or can I slam it as is?

Binders and coatings are not something you want in your veins.
Injecting pure drugs is actually a very safe way of taking them, but if
there are adulterants in them it can cause some horrible problems.

APAP is tylenol. you're friend had oxy's w/ no additives. you cannot shoot what you have, it could kill you. just look at the amount of powder from 4 pills man. PLEASE DON'T

[umich]

Dont shoot that, BranonAA is right. You would basically be shooting 99% tylenol. No good. Crush and swallow a couple of those (keep the tylenol amount under 3000mg). If you need to shoot, you need Oxycontin which is pure oxycodone and must prepare it correctly.

Nope, not with standard pills that contain all the fillers & etc. There may be a way to extract the Oxycontin with household (and/or hardware store) chemicals, try a search on this forum and on Erowid.

I know that posts just stating agreement are annoying, but it needs to
be repeated: DO NOT inject ANYTHING that contains APAP. EVER.



Injecting pills is already very unsafe, because of the binders and
solids that you can't filter out (and it doesn't even sound like your
friend is doing ANY filtering, which is a sure way to get all kinds of
problems, even if you don't see them immediately). Even worse
than putting solids in your veins is putting in a chemical which not
only adds a lot of solid material to your veins but itself could be
toxic and harm you even if the solids don't.



And, if you do get OCs, although any pills are a bad idea to inject, at
least read up so you know how to do it with LESS harm to your
body. You should always try to get the fillers out by filtering,
though be aware that it's almost impossible to get them all out.



ETA: Imagine the amount of material you would put into your veins
if you tried this... That's 1.8 GRAMS of APAP alone, versus 20 MG
of oxy... A gram is a lot of material, and that's only the APAP,
much less all the other stuff in those pills.

The APAP isn't really particularly dangerous when injected, I mean you'll have to extract most of it anyway if you ever hope to get anything into the syringe. Do a cold water extraction to remove most of the apap and then evaporate the water down with a hair dryer until it's a suitable volume for injecting. It's really a pain in the ass though andthe biovailabilty of oxycodone isn't dramatically increased via injection; maybe only 10% stronger when compared toeating it.

you want the tiny white ones to shoot....not the kind with APAP

Dude, please listen to what I am gong to say.If you dont do this it issuicide for your veins and your body. It will also explain why you have seen people get abcesses from missing a vein! Preping OC is just like prepping MS contin, in that they both have wax as a binder to make the whole time-release thing possible. The wax (usually just caruba wax) is bound up at the molecular level. When you heat the fluid mixure, you are using way too litle water, if you use 3cc per pill, and then slowly heat, you will see the wax come to the top, as you see this 'film' form, move it to the side with a pair of tweezers which have been rubbed dwon with alcohol, and as this layer moves aside, you will see a clear water layer/body of water underneath. Suck this up with a syringe and as the wax just gets closer to the needle, STOP, you are done. If you want you can boil the mixture, which will make the wax VERY visble (bright white)and hardened, but acts to make the wax suck up alot of Oxy as it does, the advantage is the water is now clearer, and the separation , next step, is easier. So now with a cloudy mixure in the sryinge. Get a large bore needle 18ga or 16ga, and roll a cotton ball smaller than the size of the needle cap and shove it in, then take another syringe and shoot the mixture thru the needle with the cotton in it (acting as a filter) and collect it in the new syringe. Repeat this process over and over, trading the needle with a new cotton ball each time back and forth, until the water flows easy and the water is almost clear. Then filter that final mix thru a .22um (micron) disc filter to remove bacteria, and then shoot his new USP grade solution. Not doing the above is heating the wax until it goes to soln, then shooting it all at once. You are loading your veins and body with wax, and IT WILL coat your veins and lungs with wax and you WILL get FATIGUE and infections soon after! Missing a vein and causing an abeccess is the wax collecting in teh sub-cutaneous tissue, and itsloaded with bacteria, thus the abcess (infection)!

This maybe should be in it's own thread, but it really fuckin' shits me that the Drug companies put out drugs that THEY KNOW people WILL SHOOT, & then configure them in such a way that shooting is unsafe..


A couple of years ago in my country, there were these pills (i've forgotten the actual drug..pills aren't my thing BECAUSE most of them are so unsafe/a hassle to shoot)..doesn't matter, it was a downer, non-opiate...anyway, they came in little gelatine 'footballs', with a liquid inside..so people were sticking needles in& extracting the drug & shooting it, problem was, to 'deter' this kind of behaviour, the company had made the liquid 'thick' & 'oily'...so, because of this- there are all these people who developed gangrene & had to have amputations!!!


I think that is just fucking unethical..those people should have 28% Ammonium Hydroxide injected into their eyeballs...fuckers! To make pills that are so 'easy' to shoot, but with such horrible complications is just plain fucking EVIL!
