10 mg for an opiate-naive individual is my usual recommendation for a recreational experience. I would certainly disagree with blakmike, because 20 - 25 mg oxycodone to an opiate-naive individual would likely have him or her very sick with a lot of nausea, probably vomiting, excessive sedation, "overpowering" body load, lightheadedness w/ or w/o headache, and more possible side-effects due to a high dose. 10 mg oxycodone orally is actually quite strong for an opiate-naive individual, despite the drug's inherent subtle, but extremely euphoric qualities. My first opiate experience was with 5 mg oxycodone - very, very nice without any side-effects whatsoever. But, 10 mg oxycodone gave me a better high, even without tolerance, with minimal, if any, side-effects. Now, some people are sensitive to opiates, biologically it seems, and so 10 mg could even be overpowering, BUT it will likely be nice if you are someone who has an affinity for opiates. Some people don't like them. Weird, I know, but true. Take oxycodone orally for best result, and always IF it contains other drugs like APAP, ASA, or ibuprofen. Beware that opiates are extremely addictive to those who do enjoy their effects - one of the most addictive, if not the most, class of drugs when it comes to a psychological standpoint with addiction. Of course, they are physically addictive, too, VERY, but the wd's very seldom cause one's life to be in danger, unlike life-threatening wd's (when done cold-turkey) of drugs like benzos, barbiturates, or alcohol, for some examples. Still, though, beware. Opiate addiction is not one you wish to fall into - anyone will tell you that. That said, do enjoy, and let the effects roll over you with an open mind. Take them on an empty of full stomach, an empty one increasing the chance of nausea, in which case just lie down, and it should go away. Either, though, is pretty much fine. Don't abuse any other drugs while taking an opiate for the first time, especially - it can lead to danger very quickly even if you think you know what you are doing. If you take other drugs regularly and are dependent and/or addicted, continue with them, but don't take anything you wouldn't on a daily basis when trying opiates out for the first time, especially like I said. They depress respiration enough to make it very dangerous to be adding other CNS depressant drugs (including alcohol) into the mix, and such a combination can lead to OD if not done very wisely and educatedly, and even then all bets are off. But, do know what you're taking before you take it - whatever it may be. Know a lot. That is always good advice when it comes to drugs. As I said, though, just enjoy, but safely as I have been trying to stress.
