Yes, people snort suboxone. It will kick in instantly and more intensely than if taken sublingually (absorbed under the tongue). Snorting it will however leave a nasty tasting drip in your nose/throat. It is possible to inject it and freebase it as well.

Yes, it is possible (though potentially very dangerous) to snort oxycodone (usually found as the hydrochloride salt). However, because of abuse of these drugs, extended release formulations are generally designed to gel upon inhalation, so that the drug is not well absorbed. The instant release formulations are thus a more popular choice for drug abusers.

The aforementioned practice is of course strongly discouraged, as it carries many risks. The primary concern is that, since the oxycodone is absorbed much more rapidly when 'snorted' than when taken orally, there is a significant risk of overdose. This risk is especially substantial for opioid naive individuals. Additionally, the binders and other ingredients (such as silica) in the tablet can cause harm to one's lungs. Finally, extensive snorting of oxycodone HCl can damage the nasal septum. The basic oxycodone molecule is absorbed, whereas the acidic HCl portion of the salt is left behind, thereby resulting in an acidic environment that can harm the nasal tissue.

It is also worth mentioning that tablets containing acetaminophen are even worse than single ingredient pills. Excessive acetaminophen consumption can cause liver damage, and acetaminophen is also acidic and can increase the damage done by snorting the pill. The large amount of acetaminophen also drastically increases the volume of powder that must be inhaled, which exacerbates the discomfort. In summary, all oxycodone pills, especially those with acetaminophen, should only be taken as directed.

Some individuals abuse opioid painkillers in order to achieve a state of euphoria and relaxation (although these positive effects quickly fade with increasing use). Some of these drug abusers snort oxycodone to increase the rate at which the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream. Faster absorption results in a subjectively more intense "rush" and euphoria. Nevertheless, snorting oxycodone (and other opioids) substantially increases the risks associated with these drugs. Some pills are also designed to prevent such abuse.

In particular, extended release formulations are generally intended to gel upon inhalation, so that the drug is not well absorbed. The instant release formulations are thus a more popular choice for drug abusers.

Can you snort Concerta 5 18 mg pills and then 2 15 mg oxycodone both in which are time released?

well one you can't crush and snort concerta it deactivates when it is released to the air and pretty much turns to goop. I'm prescribed concerta and I was given it for that specific reason because I was an abuser of roxys(oxycodone hydrochloride). I've only had a couple of roxys now that I've been on concerta and im am too looking to see if it is safe to be using both.


Is Oxycodone 15 mg IMM rel same as oxycotton?

No. What you have is immediate release oxycodone. Oxycontin is no different of a substance. The only difference is that Oxycontin is a brand name of the drug, and is controlled released. The generic name for Oxycontin is oxycodone HCL the HCL (hydrochloride) means it releases the medicine slowly into your system over a span of usually 12 hours. That is why people snort, or inject oxycodone as opposed to taking it orally like you are supposed to, so that all the medicine is released into your system. Source, Me 25 year RN
