Oxycodone vs Hydrocodone

I have about forty milligrams worth of oxy, I've been a little hesitant to use it since I can't really find any relevant info on how much more potent oxy is over hydro.

When I had absolutely no tolerance to opiates, ten mg of hydrocodone would be barely noticeable whereas if I took 15mg I would be nodding out and pretty nauseous.

I haven't used an opiate in over three years, So I have zero tolerance.

I'm rather curious as to what the relative potency is, I don't want to do something silly and take a whole ten mg pill when every 5mg of oxy is equal to 15 mg of hydro for essentially my first time.
 
Start at 10mg Oxy and work your way up.
Don't make it a habit though.
Smoke some weed for enhanced nod as well if you'd like. But I think 10mg should be enough w/o tolerance as 20mg Hydro did me well w/o tolerance.
 
I think oxy and morphine are much the same mg/mg but everybody is different, I only had Hydrocodone once I took 150mg , no nod and serious histamine reaction so it put me off that shit, although I definitely believe it was not Hydrocodone.
 
for me i get similar effects, the oxy is maybe a bit stronger, like 40mg oxy = 50-60mg hydro. varies by person. the equivilency charts are bs never accurate for me
 
Honestly, I don't see that big of a difference. I think they're pretty equal. I don't know why some people are coming off saying one is 2x the strength of the other. That just isn't the case from my experiences. I think this gets objective to a degree, because people tend to gravitate to the one that gave them the best experience. In which case, other immeasurable variables come into play when really trying to lay down a comparison that isn't just a conversion chart. I had some of my first(and best) opiate high's on hydrocodone. I will remember and crave those forever lol. I also had some good times on oxy.

I know there are all kind of charts and what not, but in my PERSONAL experiences as a user of both in excess of 900 + mgs per dose (ofcourse extracted if apap is added) I do not notice much of a difference between the two. But that being said, my tolerance is that of 10-15 people combined, so maybe that plays a role in it. anyways, treat them both cautiously. You honestly probably wouldnt even die if you took 100 mgs. but you would be feeling like shit and it will turn you off. start low, work your way up, you cant UNDO a dose.. (well technically you can, "narcan") but still.. you should rather work your way up then be rushing for narcan :). best of luck to you.
 
Idk how you would not be able to find this information.... How about. Access google.com on your internet broswer --> search "compare strength hydrocodone oxycodone" --> click on any of the provided links that appear relevant to question --> read (and remember to take anything you read on the internet with a grain of salt, unless from an authorized source)

This is terrible harm reduction advice..please dont tell someone who is opiate naive that they could take 100mg of hydrocodone and probably not even die..just feel sick. It definitely could cause them to die.

Since most people also do not have narcan lying around who are opiate naive it is also not an easily treated thing...one would have to be lucky enough to get emergency medical treatment in order to survive.
