The title of the thread says it all really. I've had a root about and searched but my questions pretty specific.

After having Oxy's on my 'to do list' for ages I've finally been able to score some 14 x 20mg tablets.

Now, I'm not opiate naive but only really have experience with the weaker ones with the exception of Morphine.

I can easily do 300/400mg + of Codeine Phosphate (Don't tend to bother with it so much these days, it doesn't do much for me now) Have been addicted to the stuff and got bored of it, moved on to Dihydrocodeine, can easily do 400mg + but I generally tend to do 150/180mg at a time because I find at higher doses it just makes me a bit nauseous.
Also faily experienced with Morphine, 40mg at a time mixed with 90mg or so of DHC, maximum dose of Morphine I've taken must be around the 50'60ish mg mark, possibly slightly more but I wouldn't want to say that with 100% conviction.
SO what do you guys think would be a good starting dose for my first go of Oxycontin? :)
 
I recommend breaking it in half & doing 10mg's for the first time to be safe. Chewing it will giving you a quick rush (not as quick as snorting it). You could also start with breaking it up in quarters & doing 5mg at a time since its your first time.
 
Firstly, do not do doses of codeine at around 400mg, that is just wasteful as your hitting the ceiling dose and it wont do anything more.
Regarding oxycontin, I recommend starting off on the 20mg in case your tolerance is low, eat it - DO NOT SNIFF IT, as this again is wasteful. If your feeling good drop another 20mg or so but I wouldn't go much further as you could have some nausea, my advice for first timers is to keep your tolerance as low as possible, if your getting high off 10mg, keep it that way, because before you know it you'll be dropping 80s like sweets.

Thanks. Would that be taking into account my tolerance to other opiates, or just a general rule of thumb with oxy's in particular?

I know its always best to start low and take it from there so might just start with a half, I'm kinda inclined to think I could go higher and do a full one baring in mind my tolerance to other opiates but just wanted a bit of clarification.

Everyones tolerance is different so start small & build your way up, no harm in that. Like the other poster stated, if you are feeling great on 10mgs, keep it at 10 mgs for a while, no need to keep taking more because you think you can handle it.

20 mg isn't gonna kill you. I've seen oodles of people start at that dose. If you're looking to have a memorable experience, I would start there. I know it's irresponsible to recommend a higher dosage, but like I said 20mg will not kill you. Unless you are allergic or something, in which case the dosage is irrelevant.

And keep in mind that you would need to crush the pill to make it instant release, and ingest the full 20mg at one time, but that's a no brainer I hope

I just finished reading your post though actually, and at the dosages you've been experimenting with on other opiates, I'd say you're more than prepared to do the 20mg and would personally give you the green light all the way. Just titrate your dose accordingly, as I wouldn't be surprised if you could handle higher dosages in one sitting, don't let me be your only advice though, and as always have fun.

And finally I will add that snorting might be a good option for you as you're trying to figure out the sweet spot as far as dosing goes. The bioavailability is a little lacking going up the nose, and so is the duration, but it will hit you faster and you can adjust your dose at a faster pace every ~15 mins or so, as opposed to every ~30 mins. This last bit is entirely just my opinion though so take it for what it is
