The Phenomenally Powerful PURPLE Pill

[tethersendcocktail]

Who here has got their hands on the purple OxyContin: 120 , that is one hundred and twenty, milligrams?
It is OC, not OP as it is not marketed in the US but in Europe and New Zealand.

An acquaintance of mine who was prescribed various amps by a private clinic before deciding to give up daily needle use was offered them, but after a short trial on 20mg OxyNorms at a seriously large dose, he turned down the opportunity to take the slow-release 120s or 80s as the cost was more than he was prepared to stomach; he went for morphine sulphate and methadone tablets instead, which hits one's pocket far less heavily at the pharmacy counter.

As far as dying/chronically ill people I only know of 80's being offered followed by fentanyl prescribing or Opanas/Dilaudids (US), a syringe driver with diamorphine in it (UK) or ultra high-dose IV morphine (most other countries.) Is this just a function of the newness of 120mg tablets and thus their lack of an established niche in the prescribing landscape for severe pain?

Does anyone know how frequently it is being prescribed? The figures breaking down NHS spending into specific products will ultimately prove revealing based on the publicly available BNF net price; until then, is there any news or sightings of it among us specialists in the subject?

we used to have OC 160's here in the us, but i guess too many dumb kids died on em , since they looked somewhat like vicodins (wow, what a smart move purdue pharma) id love an oc 120, that would be fun

[tethersendcocktail]

I know about the infamous discontinued 160's (blue coffins/ OxyCoffin is what I've heard them called); I'm more interested in whether anyone is experienced with the 120's that are the newest strength, very much still available in multiple Western countries, though apparently vanishingly rare.

120 mg OG Oc? Wow you lucky pikey you. Ive never heard of 120mg oxy, so at first i thought you were just taking the piss outta me. It seems that they do exist in our brother countries across the pond. I was going to tell you to just bugger off you bloody, dodgy wanker, but then realized that you are telling the truth and become interested. (sorry for all this, nothing personal, i just love brit slang and like to use it when I can). For real though, ive been in the oxy and pill game since the late 90s, and have tried almost every good pill there was/has been. The only pill that ive never been able to try, or have even seen, was the 160mg oc. Or in pillphile terms-The Holy Grail. Leave it to puritanesque America to alllow us only 80mg pills, and then take all of the fun outta even them and force us to have these new OP's, or "officialy Puritan" as I just decided to label them. Either way, Im sorry I cant help with your questions. My guess is that they rx them just like any other pain med. I would love to see a pic of one if you do get ahold of some.

i snort 50 of these a day bro

i got em all day every day

but right now im out til next week

[Underdose]

We used to get the 160s before they were discontinued...for like $20-30 bucks...Ahh to have cheap dope and a super low tolerance again...I used to be able to break an 80 into 4s/8s back in the day...

[duck]

Was the coating on the OC 160 the same as the 20-80mg OCs? Were they basically the same pill except in shape/color? Were they about twice the size of an 80?

I'm in NZ, sadly never heard of anything like that around here though.

[Seedy]

^^ i've never even seen an 80 in nz, only 10's and 40's. have you?

Obviously oxycodone is only used for pain(which isn't really my area of expertise) although it's obvious that oxycodone is becoming a much more common choice for prescribing.So,it's just a matter of time before all the dosages become common.However,I doubt we'll ever see many at that strength-doctors get nervous rxing anything unusual no matter how legitimate the need.They'd be far happier rxing more of a smaller dosage pill or switching to other meds.

Edit,If they're made by Napp(which some oxy is) they're absolutely unabusable.

[catmouth]

When they took the 160's away here my doctor just doubled me up on 80s (take 2 - x amount of times ea day), this was in florida though YEARS ago when they didnt even call to verify MRI's or script historys and we had pain management's on every corner....

[tethersendcocktail]

A certain British addiction clinic that offers private, and very confidential, care to the lawfully employed junky has prescribed oxycodone to select patients.

This is intended as a response to Nick: "oxycodone is only used for pain".

Only ever seen one 40 once!

They crush/snort OK... I presume you refer to pins...

[seven10kids]

oc 160s kinda looked like loracet, or blue norcos. people wanted norco more than oc 160s back in the day, if only we knew. Everyone thought oc would kill you....

Nothing is unabusable, I'd be curious to hear what he's talking about.

Seen OC 5s, 10s, 20s, 40s, 80s, oxynorm 5, 10s and also ampoules but never a 120mg. They must be new or something.

[tethersendcocktail]

You're American right? 15s, 30s , 60s and 120s are available in the UK and European countries since last year (2011)- I have a pic of a box saying OxyContinLP (liberation prolongee, slow-release) from France: 120mg, 28 tablets. I've also heard Italy and NZ have them, while the US had the OC60 reds and OC15s. OxyNorm ampoules and the various generic oxycodone ampoules in the US are seriously difficult to get outside of hospitals.

I believe you,but you're talking about private treatment which is a whole other ball game and accounts for a truly tiny percentage of service users-what's interesting will be to see if private treatment expands into the gaps that are appearing in the NTA(NHS) model.

And yes,I was referring to preparing for injection-I've no idea if Napp products are snortable.They are definitely virtually impossible to prep for IV use-I refer anyone doubting this to my "how to shoot Napp brand MS" thread-the answer being you can't.Tell a lie,it maybe possible with a fully stocked lab.

Hi Tethersend - welcome!
I just want to mention the fact that Nick and his script are extremely rare in the UK. Us UK 'philes are permanently trying to dispel the myth that it is easy for junkies to get a diamorphine script on the NHS. There's probably more chance of winning the lottery. I also remember a UK member 'Furber' who went down the private route for his methadone amps rather than the 'clinic' and when his prescribing doctor retired he had real problems finding another doctor willing to prescribe and had to resort to the clinic for a time. So its not plain sailing even if you have money and that was a script for methadone not morphine or diamorphine.

[seven10kids]

id like to see a pic

but here is proof enough for me http://www.drugs.com/uk/oxycontin-15...spc-10881.html

not that I dont believe everything i see on opio

They do exist, but they're not available here. A friend on another forum discussed a 120mg oxy that was a capsule full of beads like an m-eslon

if you look at the picture you'll see the 120s aren't available here.

[tethersendcocktail]

http://www.eurekasante.fr/medicament...CONTIN-LP.html 120mg oxy in France from this year.
type Oxycontin LP 120mg into Google Images and it will be on the first page, a box of 28 French ones. I can't link to it as it is a PHP file and the page it's on is subscriber-only.

Thanks for your welcome & the friend request: reminding Americans it's not easy for UK 'philes to get opio-pharms prescribed other than liquid methadone or buprenorphine may stop their green pinned eyed monster from focusing on us...

since were on the topic, here in Canada i saw Brown 30mg Oxycontin. Pretty cool, i only ever seen 10's,20's,40's, and 80's. Oh ya and a really tiny blue 5mg CDN oxy (NO not a perc, Actual 5mg Oxycontin, had a coating and everything, so wierd)

and the highest IR oxy we have in canada is 20mg. Ive only seen one ONCE in all the years of oxy use aswell.....i thought id see a shit load of them when the Neo's came out, but still havnt seen ANY. I think there were called like Supeudol 20mg, was an oval pill with a V and 20 on the same side, and the 20 was sorta inside the V. Any canadians seen thos??? seem pretty rare.

[Dilauday]

they do make 20mg supeudol here, however the most common by far are the 5mg and 10mg supeudol. Have seen a 20mg brand name Oxy IR here many times, they are quite large, oval, white and say 20 OXY on one side and blank on the other side. Like wise the 20s, 40s and 80s where the most common, and still are in those blasted neo's, total crap. Would be really interesting to have something over 80mg, it's pretty dumb when someone needs to take multiple pills of the largest size, obviously there is a need. pretty harsh days for oxy in Canada since 20mg are the largest useable size now, and they are much too large of a pill to do anything besides eat them
