mis-using oxycod/apap 5-325MG
It has been reported to me that some people have grinded this med. and then snorted it.
This individual lives in my family.
Would it be very dangerous to do this and would snorting this med. make a person high?
Oxycodone abuse is a big problem. The drug produces feelings of euphoria. The problem is that not only is it addictive but if you take too much or combine it with alcohol or other drugs it can cause respiratory arrest; when this happens the person typically sinks into a nice deep sleep and then stops breathing - oxycodone is a central nervous system depressant.
Snorting takes the drug straight into the nervous system. Some abusers crush the time release pills and snort them - not realizing that time release oxycodone is much stronger than the normal pill. Oxycodone can also be injected or taken orally.

Good luck your family member.
