Time release on oxycontin pills

Hey

So I was just wondering if I am wasting my time doing this or whether it's actually a good idea or not and what have you. On another thread someone brought this general topic up but I have not been able to find that thread again.

Whenever I have a 60 or an 80mg oxy if I am going to pop it I put it in my mouth and suck away the time release film around the pill. Firstly is this practice done by many others? And is it worth my while doing this?

Secondly if I am going to snort my oxys I perform the following ritual when I have time and If I am alone. I crush up the pill until it is pretty fine but then there are still little parts of the time release in amongst the White powder. When I have time I take out tweezers and individually take out all the little pieces of time release that are amongst the crushed powder. This takes a while. However I think, although I cannot be certain because I have only done it about three times, that taking the tiny pieces of time release out helps it set in faster. Keep in mind i'm already insufflating it. Does anyone else here do this? And do you find it works? Or is it the same as just snorting it regularly?

Thanks

 

Dont even bother, if the pill is down to powder, meaning the time release is probibly crushed enough too, just go for it. It will work just the same.

As for eating em', scrape the cover off, or do what I do, just chew em up fast and swallow with a drink.

 

Time release only applies when you are taking it orally, if you crush it up then it isnt effective anymore. Do you like taking the time to pick it out with the tweezers because it seems kind time consuming.

 

if it is genuine OxyContin and not a generic form..
just put the pill in ur mouth for a few seconds, take it out and dry it off completely with a paper towel or somethin..
Know Your Dose Limits - crush, and snort

the time-release coating takes longer to get off depending on the MG of the oxycontin.. 80mg takes the longest.. 20mg only takes like a split second in your mouth before u need to clean it off
longer exposure to saliva will take some oxy off when u clean it

one, or possibly some generic brands of oxycontin have the time release included with the fillers/binders inside the pill and its a pain to avoid

 

It is deffinately a waste of time.

 

Ok thanks alot. Yeah I thought that it might just be a waste of time and yeah stonedage, it really is time consuming I've only attempted it about 3 or 4 times.

I've never had any generic oxys. Only oxycontin.

Thanks again.

 

anyone else use a hose clamp to shave oxys rather than crushing them? you end up with a huge pile of shavings. for some reason i like this method rather than crushing them.

 

It is NOT a waste of time! Snorting the hard outer coating is really bad for your nose. You are also blocking precious blood vessels that could be absorbing your OC with these large chunks of coating.

Its not a waste of time...

It is healthier and will save your nose in the long run, if you are worried about that.

How can some of the senior(ish) members be saying that? I think tweezers might be slow, but it depends on if u have the time and how long it takes. Shaving off the layer other ways is good too.

 

WTF, a hose clamp??? Is this common?....

 

yes i use a hose clamp every time. i cant stand doing it with out one. It gets the finest powder ever. For all that have never tried this find a hose clamp, really you should just buy one so that way it is brand new and they are very cheap. Next you un-screw the clamp all the way so its no longer a circle, straightening it out. Run your finger on both sides and one side will feel rough, use that side, and scrape your pill like cheese and you will be amazed at how much powder you will get. Not all clamps are the same usually cheap clamps suck and wont work or make it very difficult. It wont take a long time either I can do it very fast, really it depends on the clamp

 

Wow, that is fucking crazy man. A hose clamp... Weird. I will prob stick to other ways unless I find a hose clamp or get addicted.

 

Haha. I'm not even sure what a hose clamp is. Ill have a look on google. And codemeister, like I said in my original post, when I hve taken the time to take out the individual pieces of time release it seemed to kind of hit me stronger. However I didn't know whether this was just because I was expecting that to happen. Do you have any more info about how the time release interacts with the membranes in the nose. How does it damage it and what not?

Overall yeah it is quite time consuming to individually take out the pieces but from the sounds of it, it seems a worthwhile practice.

 

no the hose clamp works good for grinding oxy..
its just a clamp, that has sharp openings down the whole clamp..
and you use it to grind the oxy down.. it actually works pretty good
and gets alot of powder.. its hard once the pill gets small tho lol

i just take the coating off, and cut it with a razor, and then crush with a sppon.. scrape that up with the razor, then i use the weight of the spoon to crush the oxy again..
not applying any pressure after the first crushing gets the oxy super fine, and hence absorbs slightly more quicky into your blood stream

 

Buddy, you are misinformed. I don't know where the myth that the colored coating on OC's is the time release, but in truth the time release is BUILT INTO THE PILL. The only way to disable this is to crush the pill up into as fine a powder as you can. I use a really good pill crusher and then use a spoon to smash/smear it on my mirror/glass surface then use a razor blade to finish the process.

But for ease of crushing and snorting, you should always remove the colored coating anyway. Saves time later so you don't end up snorting the coating or pick it out with tweezers like you said.

 

i dont know why people think that the coating that you wipe off is the time release. ive had many people try and argue that and it makes no sense.

 

not only does it make no sense but it is patently wrong. I've even asked a pharmacist just to make sure and she just laughed and said "how would that work exactly when you can wipe it off in two seconds after sucking on it for another two seconds? if the time release mechanism ran out that quick it wouldn't be much of a time release would it?"

Cmon people... use your heads. The pill itself contains the time release mechanism, it is the density of the pill and the binders and fillers that make it absorb more slowly than an IR Oxycodone pill. Anyone ever bother to notice how much denser OC's are than Percs or Roxi's or even other pills like Dilaudid's? Thats where your time release is, and the ONLY way to circumvent this is to crush it up as much as possible.

thanks for setting them straight V, that shit is so aggravating some people just dont think before they talk

 

hose clamp all the way

 

EXACTLY what I was going to say...

But yeah, removing the coating isn't really that much of a pain in the ass... I like to rub it between my sweaty fingers/palms then the coating just peels off in one or two pieces when I scrape it with my fingernail. Takes all of 45 seconds.

...and if you're jonesing that bad that you can't spare 45 seconds to get the coating off then you have a serious addiction problem, and you should probably begin seeking help lol.

EDIT : HOSE CLAMP FTW! Nothing is better than one. You end up with tiny grains of oxy like you just poured talcum powder on the damn mirror. ALSO less surface area per grain = faster absorption and more complete absorption.

The only problem I was thinking is that maybe the fillers get ground up too fine and your nose can't filter them out correctly... I could be wrong but I think it makes sense.

 

hose clamp ftw
