Got a bit of hydrocodone from a friend - options?

[jersey_emt]

A friend of mine got all four of her wisdom teeth out last week and was given a prescription for thirty Norco 10/325. She used most of them for the pain but had five left, and since she knew that I have severe chronic back and leg pain, she gave them to me. So I have a small amount (50mg) of hydrocodone, and I can't decide what to do with them.

A normal recreational dose for me is 180-300mg of morphine, or 120-210mg of oxycodone.

Should I boost my next recreational dose with the extra hydrocodone?

Should I save the five Norcos for emergencies (i.e. running out of my prescriptions early)? In the almost four years I've been taking opioids daily for my pain, I've only ran out early twice, and each was less than a day early.

Should I give them to my girlfriend, who I usually give one 30mg Roxicodone every three or four weeks?

Ah, decisions, decisions, decisions.

I had/have about the same oxy tolerance as you. A week ago to try and wipe some of the sick off of me I took about 80mg of hydro at once. Did nothing for me but get rid of the sniffles a little.

Hell, give em to your girl. She would probably get more out of them than you could. It might increase your oxy or morphine a tad, but probably not much at all.

Decisions Decisions. Could be good to save. Dont "boost" your other high IMO.

[dharma bum]

I vote with upstate on this one. Kick 'em to your girl. Get 'elevated' together.It could be a good time for her. You guys go see a movie. You should get out more.

Give them to the girl in exchange for a crazy night of wild sex.

Keeping them for w/d wouldn't matter since you don't seem to run out often.

Also, taking them as a supplement wouldn't cause your tolerance to go up...

[rockbottom]

be a sport and give them to your girl---she deserves it --probably:)

[jersey_emt]

Yeah, I'll probably end up giving them to my girl. She enjoys a nice, relaxing opioid high (well, who doesn't?) every couple of weeks. And because she has no tolerance, she'll be able to get much more out of them than I ever could.

Oral hydrocodone is about equivalent to oral morphine (this is due to only 30% or so of an oral morphine dose being absorbed, while hydrocodone is 90% or more absorbed orally. morphine absolutely has a stronger agonist affinity for mu).

I'd do a combination of all of your proposals. Let your girl have a little fun, boost your rec morphine dose with a few of the norcos (careful though, hydrocodone's potency is under-stated sometimes, and you could make yourself nauseous if you over potentiate the morphine dose), and keep them for a rainy day. CWE a high enough amount and you could even catch a buzz with just the hydrocodone.

I would say give them to your girl and you both get buzzed and go out or stay in and do something you both would enjoy.

Well personally, I'd be careful to not get the GF hooked, because we all know what hell that can be, so unless she really wanted it, maybe steer her away from opiates, or at LEAST make her understand that they're not something you just play around with (well, i guess you DO play around with it....), and warn her.

Maybe i'm just justifying my selfishness, but I don't like to introduce people to opiate/oids unless it's necessary and/or they know all the risks associated.
i would probably use it to boost one of my highs, even at your tolerance level it seems like it would boost it a -little- bit. OTOH your gf probably WOULD enjoy them more....hmm....

also, if you did use them to boost one of your highs, then the next time it'd be tempting to "boost" it with something again (if not more hydro, more oxy maybe?)...at least for me. it seems like "extra" opiates never really seem to help much in the long run.

so while I would probably take them to add to my usual high, YOU should probably give them to your gf, but MAKE SURE she's careful with them, and doesn't enjoy them 'too much'. not that you have to babysit her, she can make her own decisions....

[krinkov]

Yep. I agree with what a lot of the others are saying. Give them to your girl. They won't do anything for you, but she'd probably get off on them pretty good. You might as well give them to some one that can get off on them.

If it was me I would have eaten those dam things soo fast and then probably phone my gf and be arrogant like I always do when I have opiates in my system even tho that wouldn't even get me that high. But that's because I'm an asshole so if your not I would have to say take everyone else's advice haha.

[jersey_emt]

My girl is fully aware of all of the positives and negatives about using opioids recreationally. For her, it's really just a once a month thing, many times even less than that. Looking back, the last time she took anything was back in July when we went out to Las Vegas for vacation. I guess my 'every three or four weeks' estimate was much more than reality.

I definitely appreciate your concern for her well-being. Thank you.

I haven't told her anything yet about getting the Norco's, and I'm not even going to mention it unless she asks for something. Which hasn't happened since July, so I don't think I'll have any problems with her.
