It doesn't matter whether or not this is a troll post; we'll give the OP sincere feedback as there's likely someone out there who might be thinking of taking some absurdly large, potentially lethal dose of oxycodone. It would be better that he or she stumble upon this thread first, however unlikely and troll post or not, provided we take the thread seriously.
But, to answer the OP's question, just five or ten mg should do the trick for you. I can't imagine that 440 mg of oxycodone wouldn't kill you.

The trolls on this site have been reproducing uncontrollably, I'm going to call animal control tomorrow. (or the Trollhunter, if you've seen that movie, it's on netflix instant FYI)
However troll or not, for references purposes: (not that trolls ever fucking search, but...)
1) 440mg Oxycodone is a fatal dose for a non-tolerant person.
2) Codeine even at the maximum daily dosages does not constitute opiate tolerance, especially when it comes to high dosages of opiates with no ceiling effect.
3) I too have known people that died off much less than 440mg oxycodone.

this guy is obviously breakin balls..or "trolling" as you kids these days call it..how would someone inexperienced with oxy derive a dose like 440mg..although id have to agree with tricomb over here; good for reference purposes cuz there are a lot of dumb shits out there.
Since you seem very naive about opiates it should also be mentioned that some opiates, like Percocet, contain acetaminophen and you can also overdose on acetaminophen. Or they contain aspirin or ibuprophen that can be overdosed on as well. Other things too, like alcohol and benzodiazapines(Valium, Klonopin, Xanax, etc.) can cause overdoses when mixed with opiates. And different opiates have different strengths and different durations, just because you can take 10mg of oxycodone does not mean you can take 10mgs of Dilaudid and so on.

Hi there.
Thought I'd register to weigh in a little.
I am prescribed OxyContin 120mg twice a day and up to 60/80mg of instant release oxycodone (20mg OxyNorm capsules) per day. I have been taking oxycodone for around a year now and will likely be on it for the rest of my life due to suffering from chronic pain.
I can tell you with complete certainty that 440mg in a person who is opioid-naive WILL kill you unless you have someone on hand with a dose of naloxone very quickly. Doses as low as 20mg instant release orally have the potential to kill opioid-naive users through respiratory failure, so a dose of 440mg you'd stand no chance.
Try a starter dose of 5mg orally, then titrate upwards in 5mg steps until you achieve the desired effect. Interestingly enough, in the UK we have yet to receive the new OxyContin formulation. Ours are still the standard 'OC' markings on the pill. My pills were manufactured October 2011 yet apparently the new formulation was released some time in 2010? I think we aren't getting them in the UK market it seems, unless all the chemists in the countrys have huge back logs of the 120mg MR ones which I doubt as not a lot of people take them! Haha.

I appreciate the people who gave me good, sensible information. I'm not a troll - I just stumbled across that much and thought I'd get some first or second hand information. I just cbf'd googling it haha. Anyway, I think I'll just stay away from it all together. Very powerful medication. Thanks guys and girls!

I know this thread is super old but I thought I'd share what happened. Took the 440mg along with a bunch of anti-emetics and a nice cold beer to wash it down. Didn't kill me, but messed me up pretty bad haha. Fell asleep on my right arm and a relative found me 36 hours later. My arm was blue and I wasn't really breathing properly. Rushed to hospital, couldn't be stabilised and so was transferred to another hospital, ambulance sirens presumably blaring. There I was stabilised and moved to ICU for a few days, until I finally woke up and was moved to a lesser ward. Within about a week I was feeling relatively normal, but lying on my arm had caused nerve damage and I was unable to use my right arm. I was in quite considerable pain (nerve pain is SOO bad). Got out of hospital after a week or so, and spent the next 2 months gradually regaining use of my arm through therapy and time, and untreatable pain. Even now the feeling in my hands and arms isn't 100% normal, but I've got near-full use and I can function without any pain.
Just wanted to post it here - 440mg obviously won't KILL YOU in capital letters. It could well end up in you losing an arm though. So be careful what information you give out as fact, and don't believe what people say is true even if they use capital letters or bold text.

So you just blatantly ignored all of the advice given. Just because you managed to survive a completely idiotic move, doesn't mean that other people will survive. It's not a death sentence, but that much oxycodone for somebody with no tolerance CAN most definitely prove to be fatal. I personally know people who have fatally overdosed on much less.
I'm sure you're proud of yourself though, proving all of us wrong. Glad you had a great time, though !
..idiot.

Yeah obviously I wasn't ignoring advice. I was hoping you guys were all right - it was a suicide attempt. How can you not see that? Are you that stupid?
EDIT: So what I'm saying is A) don't write people off as trolls and not help them. B) if you decide to help them, dont go giving them incorrect advice. these two things might actually save someone else who isn't so robust in one way or another.

We are here for harm reduction. We are not here to aid in someone's suicide attempt. I am sorry to hear you were having difficulties in your life which lead you to attempt such a thing. I can relate, believe it or not.
People responded with sound advice, based on the facts presented. If you indicated you were having a rough time, and were considering suicide, it would have changed the entire tone of the post and relative advice/guidance would certainly have been provided. We have an entire forum dedicated to such issues, The Dark Side.
Regardless, that dose of oxycodone certainly CAN be fatal. Not a guarantee, by any means though. That said, I am glad to hear that you did not die. It was not your time to go.

Lololol, what complete bullshit.
Sorry kid, but in no way did you survive a 440mg oxycodone dose with absolutely no tolerance. People even with a tolerance have passed away from a much smaller dose.
If this did in deed happen, I'll be praying for you. The fact that you would take your life therefore passing the pain you're experiencing onto others, friends & family ect.., just makes me sick. You my friend should just stay away from all drugs considering you've proven yourself to clearly be to irresponsible to handle them. This is a website to reduce harm, not to give information on how to commit suicide. Next time instead of attempting to ruin everyone else's lives around you by taking your own life, check yourself into the nearest hospital.
But in my complete honest opinion, this is just a post looking for attention..
Xoxo,

Just wanted to reply to BrokedownPalace to say kudos to you. Knowing the situation you changed your tone and gave a level headed and thoughtful response. You sir, are a good person.
Then I saw Kayla's post. Such a condescending post when you have no idea who I am (I'm 25, not a 'kid), and then to go accusing me of being a selfish prick that I would simply pass the pain on to others - how do you even know I'm in contact with family or even have friends? Seriously people like you make the world a cold and dark place. You are so sure that you can pick a troll that you don't give someone the benefit of the doubt. I don't care if you believe me one way or the other, and yeah I'm probably looking for a bit of human interaction and attention, but to go write someone off in the way you did (cold and rude) rather than assume I'm legit and offer help (warm and compassionate) is not what this forum needs. Even if there's a 99 in 100 chance that I'm a troll, that 1 in 100 deserves some good advice and compassion.
Anyway to anyone thinking an OD is a clean and painless way to go, think again.

This is an old thread, specific to one poster, is turning into a topic not fit for OD (maybe make a post in TDS about your issues), and has a clear answer anyway..
Yes.. 440mg's is way to much of a dose.. and if one of us knew this thread was about a suicide attempt.. it would have been closed immediately because that's not what we do here.
Closed.
