Oxycodone ... And hydrocodone

[Lillady1985]

Is it okay to take an about 20mg-25mg of oxycodone when I took about 20mg of hydrocodone about 5 hours ago?

That entirely depends on your tolerance. 30mg hydrocodone = 20mg oxycodone (approximately) - opioid conversion chart. How much oxycodone or hydrocodone can you usually take?

It also depends if you have taken any other downers (benzos, alcohol etc) or not - if so then it increases your risk of overdosing significantly..

I don't mix drugs. I don't benzos with or drink alcohol with. I take 20-40 mg of hydrodone daily or 20-30 mg of oxycodone daily. Usually don't take both on the same day. If I do it's spaced more like 19 hours apart. Ive been using poults everyday for a year or so.

8 to 10 hours not 19

Opioids not poults. Sorry my phone autocorrect is messing me up.

As effie stated, it all depends on your tolerance level / what your body can handle. Pharmacologically it's safe, yes, but ~50mg cumulative of oxy/hydrocodone can be fatal in someone overly sensitive to the chemical(s).

If you aren't having any CNS / respiratory issues, then I suspect that you should be okay. However, take it slow and don't take more than you think you can handle.

No worries

If you regularly take 30mg oxycodone or 40mg hydrocodone then the dose you are thinking of taking today comes out a bit higher than your normal daily dose, but if you have waited 5 hours then you won't still have the full dose of hydrocodone in your bloodstream any more. It will probably be okay but if in doubt take 10mg oxycodone and wait to check you are fine with that before taking the rest.

Depends on your tolerance ,as everyone else has mentioned... AND usually when I redose It never brings me back up to the great you experience in that first hour on your FIRST dose!
