Hey guys

I have some instant release 30mg oxycodone. I have basically zero tolerance and weigh about 170lbs. How much is a safe dose to start off with? I was thinking like 15mg?
 
I would start at 5mg, work your way up from there. With no tolerance you'd be surprised how powerful oxycodone is. If you want to measure it get an oral syringe, crush the 30 mg into powder, dissolve it into 1 ml of water, suck it into the oral syringe through a cotton filter, then you know every 10 units is 3mg. Squirt it into your mouth or squirt it into a shot of water. If your into snorting then squirt each 10 units into its own little puddle on a plate, let it dry, then youll have 10 piles of relatively pure oxycodone at 3 mg a pile.

You can just eyeball it but that gets tricky when your doing 5mg at a time. If you find out 15mg is a good dose than just take a half pill, but start at 5. People with Broken bones get 5 mgs prescribed for pain, so although some people need 120mg to get real high don't underestimate it.
 
I'd start below 15. It probably isn't unsafe, but could be unpleasant in terms of nausea. If say try 1/4 of a pill, but since these are not double scored there is no way to guarantee that 1/4 of a pill is 1/4 of the active ingredients.
 
Thanks for the responses guys. I think i'll just try to quarter the pill which would make for like a 7.5 mg dose. Really the only other opiate ive done recently was like 15mg of hydrocodone which got me really high, and im assuming this doesn't exactly compare with hydrocodone.
 
It's not too much stronger than hydro, but definitely stronger. Be careful going down this road. It can lead to bad places. Quickly.

^^^^^^ This!


My first time I took oxycodone orally, I chewed up 5mgs & it had me nodding, no lie! Everyone is different, I myself am sensitive to opiates so I never needed much. I still only take 10mgs of hydrocodone at a time 3 times a day as prescribed for my back pain & this is after 3 years & it still does the job & is effective...........if you are trying oxycodone to get high, then start low like down508 has stated & go from there.

5mg if you have no tolerance, you can always take more, never less

Yes. This should basically be ones mindset when using any drug, experienced or not. If you're unsure, always start at the lowest possible dose and cautiously increase it until you get where you want to be.

Just remember that oxy is a powerful opiate and with no tolerance, it doesn't take much to get you high. You'll probably still be fine with 15, but I'd work up to that dose in 5mg intervals just to be safe. Taking too much of an opiate, especially the first few times, can lead to a lot of unpleasantness like puking, sweating, etc.
 
Hazed,
Just a word of advice regarding the actual dividing of the pill (which I DO hope you'll be doing-into quarters).
I take oxycodone IR. Once I tried to divide into 4'ths in order to give a friend in pain 5mg. Make sure you use one of those pill cutters (usually they come combined with a crusher on one end, cutter on the other) or a razor blade.
I don't know if all brands are this way, but the brand I use is very SMALL, hard and dense. I think the size is what caused it to be so difficult for the most part. At the time all I had was a fairly dull knife, and it ended up a disaster... pieces that were way more than 1 quarter along with little tiny pieces everywhere, so it made it very difficult for my friend to know exactly how much she was taking.
I'm sure somebody will think that this is a ridiculous comment but just wanted to share my experience :)
As Far as dose goes, I think you should start at 5mg ( I think I made that clear already lol). As it has been stated, you can always take more but you can never erase what has already been taken.

I'd kill for you're tolerance :P. rather be underwhelmed than puking. But yeah i'd say over 10 mgs. My first time was half an OC 10 and it didn't do anything so I kept adding 5 mg increments till I really felt it which was 20 mgs. Your weight and size will also play a part too.
 
i would start off with 5mg.. An untolerated overindulging in opiates has about as much fun as a tolerated withdrawing, why push the envelope.. take it slow.. should kick in in less than fifteen min and last a little over three and a half hours peeking i believe about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes after oral consumption. take it slow, feel it out. Some unaccustomed people have been known to OD off unusually small doses.. RULE 1-make sure to make it to your next high, whatever form that may take.
 
Man, when I first started with Oxy 5mg had me high, 10mg would nod me. You won't need more than 7.5mg with 90% certainty. The absolute first time I did Oxy I took half a blue, or 15mg, and it was unpleasant.

I wish I could take a time machine back to those days.

IME, tolerance accrues slowly to Oxy. I've been doing Oxy for 4 years. The first year and a half, I never needed more than 15mg / dose. This was also with daily consumption. Tolerance didn't start to really kick in until the second year I was on it, which coincided with multiple daily dosings, and my tolerance increased to 30, then 60mg at a time. Now it's even higher.

Point is, if you stick to, at a maximum, dosing once per day, your tolerance will stay nice and low for quite a while. At least it did in my case. The second you start dosing more than once per day on the reg, and never give your receptors "non high" time, the faster your tolerance will accrue, at an exponential rate. But initial tolerance takes quite a bit to build if you're completely 100% opiate naive.

Yeah me and my friend each ended up doing 7.5mg each, neither of us have a tolerance and we both got pleasantly high. I don't really plan on doing this as a regularly every day thing ( has anyone ever? ) id like to keep my tolerance low. Im surprised that you can do it once a day for over a year without really building a big tolerance, i thought it would build up much much faster than that. I plan on doing it just as an occasional thing, so that should work out well. As for the person who was mentioning having trouble breaking them up, i wish i would have read your post before hand, because the same thing happened to me when i tried to cut the pill, it ended up not splitting evenly so we just did the smaller portion to be on the safe side.
 
^ Good to hear you and your bud had a nice time. Did you end taking your dose orally or sniff it?

My opinion for a good starting dose of oral oxycodone with no tolerance would be 10mg, but I know there's a lot of factors that play into how that dose will effect each individual. If one wanted to go the intranasal route for the first time I'd say 7.5mg would give one a good taste as to what effects oxycodone has to offer.
 
Yeah we just ate it. I'll probably try sniffing it next time, but i wanted to get a feel for it first beforehand. I have heard that sniffing it gives a quicker onset and more intense effects but it doesn't last as long, is that true?

That seems like an awful lot of work just to catch a buzz. Crush it all, break it into 3 similar sized piles, snort 1 pile and wait. After half an hour or so, if you think you can handle another pile, go for it.

You're correct. At least that how my experiences with sniffing oxycodone were as well as many other who I've talked to about the differences between nasal and oral use.
