So basically..I took 30 mg Oral liquid Oxycodone Hydrochloride but 45 minutes later when I failed to feel much I realized it wasn't enough and I should have taken 35mg, so I took an extra 5mg on top to make up for the difference but it did nothing because it was already too late. What is the correct way to redose per hourly or even sooner on Oxycodone ?

I didn't know there was a correct way to redose on oxycodone? Or any other opiate for that matter really. I pop em, 45 minutes later and I still don't feel nothing pop another 2 and let the magic take place. The only correct way to redose (imho) is just don't take enough to overdose or exceed the limit (your limit). I have never heard of anybody messing up a redose on roxy (besides dropping and losing the pill lol).


EDIT: I missed the "Liquid" part in your post, sorry. I have no idea bout liquid form (besides crushing & mixing). Ma bad...
 
I guess your body is a bit more normal then mine because if I don't get my dose right the first time then I can't just take another 30mg until the 4 hours is over. Last week 30mg was doing the job but this week its no longer cutting the mustard which is why I am trying to figure out a top-up dose to take instead of waiting 4 hours for the next dose.

If it was alcohol I would have another glass every hour to maintain a consistent blood alcohol level but you cant take 30mg every hour with Oxycodone, obviously the amount has to be a fraction of your loading dose but i cant work out how much it is, once I work it the hourly dose I can then split that into two and even take half of it every 30 minutes, but need some help working it out, someone please do the maths
 
Hi Captain, yea my tolerance has increased greatly, I am doing much better since we talked last I can now take 30mg without any problem, you may remember the days where I couldn't even tolerate 5 mg. Your right I been meaning to take a break I keep telling myself everyday I wont take today's dose but I am struggling to stop. I may be hooked but more psychologically then physically.
