Oxycodone tolerance?

I have two 40mg OxyContin and 6 30mg roxys. How should I use these so I develop the least amount of tolerance possible? I don't know much about opiate tolerance.. I searched but couldn't find a consistent answer.
I've done oxy 6times before, usually doses around 20-40mg. Last time was 2weeks ago if that gives you an idea of my current tolerance level, if I even have one.
I have to use them up in two weeks.
Thanks :)
 
I have read on a couple different websites, that if you take DXM with your dose, it will prevent your tolerance to go up as much. Maybe you should look into that. There's also potentiation techniques you could read up on, they make the drug feel stronger, so you don't have to take as much. Other than those two, I don't believe there is much you can do.
 
Why do you have to use them up in two weeks?

DXM, magnesium and others help with tolerance but in the end the best way to lower your tolerance is to just take a break. Potentiation is just a stop-gap and won't lower your tolerance...

I figured potentiation would cause your tolerance to raise at a slower rate, because you would be using less drug. It made sense to me, but is that not the case?
 
From that perspective, you are correct. If you were to drop your dosage and use potentiators to make it "feel" like the regular dose, your tolerance would still increase, but it would be a slower increase.

Usually what ends up happening is people use their regular dose + potentiation so it doesn't help their tolerance at all.
 
Best advise I could give is that you can take those however you want, just figure out where your happy medium is and what amount of mg's makes you feel content and high, without takin too much and OD'in. But I can answer your question by sayin, "DO NOT take them consistently everyday" If you do them one day then make sure you don't do any the next day. It only takes around 3 or 4 consecutive days of doing any opiates to become completely dependent of them.

I was on them for 3 years because I didn't know any of this info I'm telling you now.. I dont think I would have ever got dependent on them if I knew all this back when I took the first few pillies...

I'm not preachin to ya at either man, just givin advise. Tryin to kick an opiate habit is the worst feeling ever!
