I started taking 30mg of oxy IR 2x a day for acute pain for my knee.. It is working great so far, but I was curious how long till i would get physically dependant, at that dose? I dont feel like i need more for it to work...im trying to be careful with opiates, but it it is really helping the pain. I would like to order another 20 tabs, but before i order, i would love anykind of feedback about physical tolerance athis dose...thanks so much

Mental dependencies and physical dependencies are two different things.  Most D0ct0rts, my random acquaintance, has dealt with like to keep 0p!@t3s as short as possible, but are reluctant to go over 3 months.  So I would say based on that, 3 months would be about where one would start to become physically dependent if that had been taking them regulary.  Mental dependicies come at different times for different people.  For my random acquaintance it's almost instantaneous.  Once he's written the first scr!pt, he can at any time tell you how many are in the bottle, when the net d0se is available, how many refills (if any), and the date of the next refill.  He's preoccupied with the whole thing.  The desire can last for along time.

On the physical side withdrawl for most people is pretty much over in 6 days.  The body is no longer dependent on the substance.  The desire could literally last a lifetime.   Tolerance is going to occur with any substance as the body gets used to have it onboard.  Take more, tolerance will go up, take more again, tolerance will go up.  It becomes like a dog chasing his tale. 

I'm not trying to be a kill joy, just making the point, there is no free lunch.  You always end up paying.

 
I agree with skinny2x. However, I may have missed it but how long have you been taking opi8's thus far ? In my own personal experiences I have had been prescribed Vics and percs on separate occasions due to a bad knee injury which unfortunately took 3 weeks to get surgery due to the timing of my injury (happened during the week before Christmas). so unfortunately for me I was on pain meds way too long....about 7 months. Around the 2nd month I noticed a physical change within myself first thing in the morning if I didn't take my morning dose. by July my physical therapist recommended that I cease the narcotic pain meds and switch to plain ibuprofen because he was worried it interfered with my physical recovery. He worked in same building as my orthopedic Dr who immediately switched me from percs to some sort of anti-inflammatory med and ibuprofen. went into withdrawals physically almost immediately,but that only lasted a week. the mental part was the hardest which led me to seeking help through a psychiatrist and going on subutex therapy. 

 
Thanks for your input....a few weeks ago the dr gave me an rx for percs 5/325 about 12 pills...my injury has not gotten better and i am waiting for my insurance to kick in so i can get surgery.....in the meantime, last tuesday i got 30mg rocs, from a vendor popular in sy forum...i just put in another order for 20 more tabs, and plan on not going over 45mg a day. Im really not supposed to take tylenol at all, which why the percs is a problem.

 
My personal experience with dependence varies.  I just recently tapered from about 5 viKes a day to 0 and went without for 8 days.  I had been taking them consistently for about 3-4 months with a few 3-4 day breaks in between.  I have found that it only takes about a month of consistent use (for me) to build up a physical dependence.   I have conquered a few demons (the big C) in my day so the mental dependence (for me) is not really an issue.   The desire is there but I can easily talk myself out of ordering or seeking the viKes.   The most recent break I took, which lasted 8 days, was fairly painless.   I did lack energy, but I have a friend that I swap KB for adDies and they really helped me through that time period.  Other than the lethargy I really had no other symptoms......I did have one miserable night of little sleep, but that was only one night.  I am in really good physical shape, have few aches and pains so my use is 98.5%  recreational  (don't judge please).   I realize this is just my personal experience, but I think a month is about right for most people.   

 
From my experience, it doesn't take very long to potentially become physically (and mentally) dependant on r0xsis. Another issue is tolerance: it builds up rather quickly; even if just taking for pain. It's probably a good idea to proceed with caution.

I agree with ainthouse.  About 98% recreational.  If I have to take them for pain it's a kill joy.  I'd rather take a couple !bupr0ph3ns and go to bed. Save the good stuff for a time when I can relax and enjoy.

I'd much rather enjoy the full affect.  Keep in mind,,,,,  Being the DR, the Patient, and the Pharmacists is about insane as it come.  Patient says, this is not quite cutting it tonight.  the dR says a second dose is in order, the pharmacist is more than willing to fill the scr!pt.  Now if that's not f....ing crazy, I don't know what is.  If you missed the point we are all three.

Be careful out there socio chemisr, it only takes once to end up on the brown side of the grass.

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  4. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  6. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
