How long till tolerence fades?

I would assume it depends on how long you were using, how frequently, and the dosage level. Two to three weeks clean in my experience knocks it down considerably.
 
well im on oxycodone for pain.. i take 10mg's every 6 hours.. i do notice a slight tolerence.. i dont wanna have to take more to kill the pain.. also i do plan to take about 30mg's one of these nights to experement.. hope i like it !
 
Hmmm this has been the subject of much debate. Some will say 5 days is enough others would say a few weeks. I find that about 2 weeks resets my opiate tolerance pretty much completely, but 1 week could prove equally beneficial. Like was said, it depends on frequency of use and dose. You say you need it for pain, which leads me to believe you can't just discontinue taking them...so tolerance is an unavoidable side effect for you. At least keep your dosage low, the more you take the faster your tolerance builds. If you keep it around 10-30mg you shouldn't see a rediculous increase in tolerance.
 
cool thanks for the reply.. that helps, i was thinking of taking 10mg's every 8 hours rather than every 6.. the pain is residing so i think i can deal with a extra 2 hours of a little pain.. one more thing, is it bad to mix hydrocodone with oxycodone ?? im still trying to reach a buzz from opiates, no luck yet.. i just dont wanna take 6-8 of my oxy's cause i need em for pain and i dont know if i'll be able to get another perscription.. i ate 5 5mg hydros and didnt get anything cept for it killed my pain..
