Oxycodone 30 mg side effects

[Weasel3]

Am I doing any major damage to my vital organs through using oxy 30 mg @ 10-12 a day?

when i was using i would take 300mg a day and my husband would tell me i would start gasping for air in my sleep.....scary stuff and man that didn't even get me to quit lol but thank god i made it thru and have 103 days!!! the roxys affect the liver too by the way

You are taking a very large dose...300 mg to 360 mg a day.   What the others have written is true.  Take your pulse...I'll bet it is very, very low.  

Opiates cause your lungs to under-react; they also drastically slow down the GI tract.   You stand the risk of long-term constipation which can result in a perforated bowel.   I know because this happened to my husband after only 3 months of a much slower dose of hydrocodone.

Do you want to quit?

boy i've had a few nights where i was scared to go to sleep for fear of not waking up and it was off VERY little. of course my tolerance is low and my doc was hydrocodone and I tried one 30mg oxy. veryyy similar to dilaudid feeling from the hospital. though there i wasn't scared bc i was under drs care. It only took one little blue 30mg oxy for me to be out of it. I have never taken more than 2 hydro at a time and would usually make myself throw up bc i was scared. I'm the most anal addict i know lol. I couldn't justify taking more than 1 but had np taking 8 a day. go figure! I guess as a nurse having some insight I always freaked myself out bc I have seen overdoses before. We had a pastors wife come in. she was taking norco after a recent surgery. She was not an addict was only taking for a few short days and had never abused before. however, she took 3 thinking the insistent pain that the 1 (or possibly 2 IF and only IF after two hours the pain had not went away) wasn't getting rid of would help and she never woke up. Each person is different and obviously after long use, your tolerance goes up, but please be careful. Our bodies really do get so relaxed they just forget to breathe. once, in the hospital with the dilaudid I was taking 5 respirations per minute. they came and bagged me and everything.. scary please be careful with that much use

The primary organ that is affected is your brain. To take that many, you have to develop a tolerance, which means your neural receptors have recessed and won't heal, until enough time off opiates. Long enough time, strong enough opiates, at high enough dose, there can be permanent brain damage. The other organ affected a lot, is the lungs. Respiratory arrest is the number one cause of death on opiates, that one is pretty scary, if one lives through it. I know, I was certain I wouldn't live until morning. Changing the brain, personality and possibly killing you are the main damage I am aware of, but those are pretty big ones. Why do you ask?
