Oxycodon

[Papa Smurf]

Anyone no if taking this pain reliever would prevent or hinder muscle growth?

I sometimes have to take 325mgs to ease the aches at night............

Please folks............no "you,ll get hooked" comments..........Im not snorting the stuff

[austinite]

No, but your relaxed state could hinder your progress. Don't stay on for very long, Addictive drug.

[Papa Smurf]

Sorry Austin, little confused, the relaxed state is whats helping me get to sleep at night.......Do you think it could hinder my growth at night. I know that's when our bodys rebuild . So, that relaxed state is kinda whats got me alittle worried..........

Its almost a catch 22.................no sleep no growth.............. Damn its hell getting old!!

[sjtravjr]

No, my buddy did a lot of research on this a few years ago. No effects on muscle growth but like austinite said being doped up will not make you want to work out or atleast not as well as you should.He was hooked but was also a pretty good bodybuilder.The sh*t can get serious just be careful.

Extended release is mostly common I bleieve. This works long after you wake up. But if you just got on this drug, you should know how your progress is at the gym. If you find yourself getting tired sooner than usual... then it's hindering your progress. But if the question is will it eat at muscle, then no.

Thanks bro.........That was my concerns................current cycle has my workouts on the EXTREME side right now. And this is not a nightly thing.........just on chest days and shoulder days

You're taking opioids just for DOMS?

[Atomini]

No, it will not affect muscle growth. If it contains acetaminophen (tylenol), then it may interfere somewhat with muscle growth, as acetaminophen inhibits the inflammatory prostaglandins in muscle tissue that play a role in muscle growth. Once or twice, not a problem. Consistent use will interfere with muscle growth.

Be careful if you're using opiates just for DOMS as Bonaparte mentioned. Not a good idea!!

i use meds with APAP all the time for migraines, I don't think it's a huge concern honestly. My strength/muscle gains have been good over the years, even when I was natty.

You don't have to take it. You choose to. It's also a strong narcotic that we really don't talk about here. Maybe you should re evaluate your routine?

You are correct. Depends on the dose, of course. APAP in higher doses taken consistently can interfere with gains, but is usually only an issue if you really need to take that much to control whatever pain you have it prescribed for.

Of course your gains will be hindered. 325 mg is 10 oxy 30s a day. You need a rehab not a juice forum for help. Good luck

I'm working under the assumption that he is taking an APAP + oxy combo like Vicodin at 300 + 25mg. That would be far more likely.

[stpete]

I'm hoping it's a prescription.

If you're not using AAS there's a good chance this will cause you to lose some muscle. Regular opiate use is known to significantly reduce natural testosterone production. Will it if have the same affect when using gear? I doubt it will if you're taking a significant amount of exogenous testosterone.

Be careful, I'm not a fan of opiates on a personal basis as they make me feel like crap but also on the basis that they are IMO far more dangerous than many other drugs. It's also very common for a lot of bodybuilders to get hooked on these, especially hardcore competitors in the pro and high level national ranks. They're body's begin to hurt so bad and look for opiate relief when regular NSAID's won't work. I would say more bodybuilders ruin their lives due to opiate use than gear use.

ahah thats gold

[Black]

325 is the strength of the acetaminophen or aspirin. Oxycodone comes in strengths of 5, 7.5, 10mg I believe. The pain reliever attached is usually 325 or 500mg.

[Papa Smurf]

OH WOW..................I love how we JUMP to conclusion on this forum! LOL

PAPA SMURF HOOKED ON OXYCODON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Little Blue Meth Head runing around the board!!!

Luckly, I had my question answered WAY up the page, before some of you BOZOs turned me into a druggie....

Just to be CLEAR.............yes its 325mg, and script says I could take 2 if needed.................NO i would never that this crap regularly.

I "sometimes" take one at "night" after Ive has an extremely heavy shoulder or chest workout.

The may reason for the question was.............By taking the Oxcy for pain, am I destroying all the hard work I put in that caused the pain........

And Pete................ I thought we could talk about anything related to our health, well being, workouts, or what not on this forum?

It's actually 10.83, but hey, who's counting. And I have a hard time believing anyone ingesting 325mg of oxy would b anywhere near cognoscente enough to even log in :-/

Ok Now its gottin FUNNY!!

I just read the bottle bro...........................but heck..............Im a junkie now..........what do I no........................Off to rob a little ole lady, so I can get my "fix" today!!!

[Tron3219]

On ur prescription it should have 2 numbers, thinking is probably generic Percocet. Just to she'd some light to all the conspiracy theorist, cuz I know it's not OxyContin, which comes in 40mg btw.

2.5/325
5/325
7.5/325
10/325

But the only thing I see that would raise concern is IF u were taking several of them and an oral. Each one has 325mg of acetometaphine, but isn't an issue since ur only taking ONE every once in awhile.

your not snorting it but it IS VERY addictive, almost as bad as H, avoid it at all costs.

take kratom if anything, or some mj
I have major spinal/back issues from car accident, am in pain every day (even now) and i avoid the oxy family! i could get a script for them to take every day till the day i die... but I DONt WANT THAT because i know how bad it is not just for your body, but how hard it can be to stop.
see if cannabis will help you, or even Kratom (but be carful its act like an opioid and can also be addictive.

I wish you the best,
will it hinder gains? yes it messes up your nutrient uptake, specially over time of using it. opioids starve the body in some areas.

Edit my original post: no one needs to know about that plus it may or may not be against the rules.
