Combining Hydro w/Oxy--Quick Question!

[fishoutofwater]

I have 65 5mg Oxycodone IR pills and 30 7.5mg/325mg Hydrocodone/APAP. I am aware that Oxy is 1.5 times more potent and since it doesn't have the APAP, I want to combine the two to use my pills more efficiently. I have used both a little before, so I have some tolerance that will come back. So taking the Oxy by itself doesn't make sense because I have to be careful with the APAP in the Hydros. (Last time I got high off Oxy was about two weeks ago and I needed 40-50mg.)

I've read some studies that some people do prefer Hydro over Oxy, despite the potency difference. So my question is are there things I should be aware of when combining the two? Like do they work well together (I realize they are very similar)? Should I just factor in the 1.5 to 1 Oxy to Hydro ratio to determine dose? Should I try 60mg of Hydro (under 2,000APAP) first to see if I prefer it? (I was disappointed with Oxy last time and know I have enjoyed Hydro in the past.) Oh, and does 100% White Grapefruit Juice and Cimetidine potentiate Hydro just like they do Oxy?

Im one of the very few that doesn't like oxycodone........I have mixed oxy with hydro & prefer hydro by itself or hydro with morphine is a nice mix.

Hydro is more sedating & a smoother high for me compared to the stimulated feeling I get from oxy which I don't like.

Yes, white grapefruit juice cimetidine potentiate all opiates.

I also prefer hydro any day to oxy. 20mg of hydro has always gotten me off, while it would take 50-60mg of oxy for me to feel good.

I would honestly just try 20mg at first, if in 2 hours you dont feel good, take some more.
