Let us please discuss the topic at hand with civility like the human beings that we all are.
Human beings make mistakes. While inside I might agree with Bamboshoot, we need to work together to fight the war on IGNORANCE.
@OP, I'm sorry for all the drama, Welcome to Bluelight. Please take a minute to read through the few links in my signature, the BLUA (Bluelight User Agreement) and the OD Guidelines to familiarize yourself further with our community.
I'm going to move your thread over to Basic Drug Discussion, as this thread is not really Other Drugs material (although I can totally understand why one would assume it is).
I'll give you a super short summary to address some key issues at hand.
1) 5/325 oxycodone/acetaminophen (APAP) means that the pill contains 5mg of oxycodone hcl and 325mg of acetaminophen (Tylenol).
2) According to the Food and Drug Administration, medications containing acetaminophen (Over the Counter APAP without oxycodone) have a maximum daily limit of 4000mg. This means that OPIOID TOLERANT INDIVIDUALS (you are are opioid naive) could potentially take up to 12 percocet (if their doctors told them to) without damaging their livers due to too much acetaminophen.
According to the FDA, since percocet contains acetanimophen, the most percocet one can take and stay within the daily APAP limit would be 60mg (12 x 5mg) of oxycodone AND (12 x 325mg) 3900mg acetaminophen (rounding up to the daily max of 4g)
Obviously, you thought that the amount of tylenol was the amount of oxycodone. You were suggesting your pill contained 5mg of tylenol and 325mg of oxycodone would not ever exist in modern society. They withdrew the 160mg OxyContins a long time ago, so currently the highest dose of oxycodone supplied in the USA is 80mg worth of time released oxycodone hydrochloride
3) It should be pointed out that the oxycodone/APAP you have is instant release, not time released. Percocet is designed to work as breakthrough pain medication for moderate to severe pain, kicking in as fast as possible when taken orally untampered with. You don't need to crush them or anything like that, just leave them alone and take them as is.
4) As far as dose recommendations, if you both have no tolerance and you both don't have other CNS depressants in your system (like alcohol, sedatives and tranquilizers, benzodiazepines, sleep or anxiety medication like xanax, ativan, valium, klonopin, ambien) then I would recommend you start with 5mg oxy / 325mg acetaminophen.
