A friend was given some of these without the packaging.... just the blister packs. Apparently they are 5mg controlled release. I havent seen them yet so its possible there is more info on the blister pack that he just isnt seeing... but would I be correct in assuming these are 20mg released over 4 hrs? Or something along those lines?

And everyones favourite question, is it actually possible to negate the time release and remove the coating either through crushing or dissolving? Information floating about seems inconclusive.

Thanks.
 
Are they endones? Ive only ever experimented with them a couple of times. Figured its such a small amount per pill to even bother with. If they are CR then crushing it will work. I always thought youd never have a way around the time mechanism with Jurnistas (Hydromorphone) pills but crushed them and worked fine. The blister pack or box should state how much is the total dose. Its prob 5mg controlled. The 20mg pills are pink colored ones.
 
Sounds like you will be having a nice weekend... I'm making do with a cwe!

What you are getting is 5mg released over 8-12 hours. Lowest mg pills I have seen were 10mg, but the 5s are out there..

It's VERY easy to turn them into IR (or close to). Dampen a paper towel/tissue and rub off the outer coating of the pills. It's just a thin layer of paint (so you can I'd the strength of the pill). You can just pop it in your mouth for a few seconds and suck the paint off. Doesn't taste great, however.

Let the pill dry for a few minutes and crush it... Just wrap it up in a paper towel and take to it with something heavy for a while.. Once it's nice and crushed, pour the powder out, and finish off the crushing with a credit card or something similar. You need to get rid of all the little balls, these are oxy stuck in time release. You want the powder as fine as possible.

So, to reiterate... The time release is NOT in the coating, but is INSIDE the pill.

Have fun bro!
 
I only know that theyre blue. havent seen them yet. In Aus it appears that the blue ones are 5mg though.... according to some info I found online.
 
A 5mg pill has 5mg of active ingredient.

If I have more than 10mg I end up falling asleep and not remembering anything. 10mg is good for me to have a nod but not fall asleep.
 
What redsweater said... 5mg is a small dose. Which is why I doubted such a small dose would be in a time release pill. Ahh well. At least I can crush them up.
 
wrapping in foil then wrapping in a paper towel or two then smashing on the garage floor with a hammer seemed to be a pretty effective method. Why even bother removing the outer coating? Seems inconsequential. Anyway smashed up 5 in the foil then got impatient and chewed up a couple more. Chewing seems like the best method unless you plan on snorting. Snorting is fine but it doesnt last long enough.
 
Best method is to grind it up into the finest powder, just to make sure you absorb it all at once. Being only 5 or 10mg etc in a biggish sized tablet means lots of binders, fillers and of course the mechanism to do time release which is pretty much defeated of course when crushed / chewed.

Crushing it to a fine powder will ensure that it will be simultaneously absorbed instead of possible active ingredient inside binder / filler in case of bigger chunks being swallowed from chewing or crushing but not finely.

If a patient needs acute pain control and has no opiate tolerance then 5mg CR Oxycontin is a perfect starting point. Apart from Tramadol (which is only really a quasi opiate) there are no S4 time release painkillers. So something like this with endone or panadeine forte for breakthrough is used.

Sorry kinda rambling on there. Just iterating that they definitely have their place in medicine (but no so much in recreational pursuits).
 
As others have said, a 5mg pill should mean there is 5mg total in the pill what will be released over a period of time. As far as I am aware there is no medication that states a dose which is the dose to be released each hour of the medications duration, that seems really confusing. I thought the lowest OxyContin formulation was 10mg and iirc they are white tablets, just because I haven't heard of them doesn't mean you don't get 5mg ones though.
 
^Fentanyl, and I recall a few years ago a friend telling me he had his hands on 5mg oxycontins, I just though he was confused and they were just IR endones but maybe I was assuming wrong.
 
As stated above by others, oxycontin 5mg exist and are blue tablets the same size as the 10's, 20's and 40's. Patches often write dose/hr plus total dose and they don't always add up. There may be more but that's all I can think about in my sleep deprived state right now.

Here is a picture for those disbelievers

Yep thats what I have. The blue 5mg OCs. At least they are the ocs right? Apparently the OPs are the new formulation pills where its extremely hard to negate the time release.

Anyone know what the time range is for release? Surely not 12hours? ... 5mg over 12 hours... fuck, you'd have to have ZERO opiate tolerance. I guess that describes most people though.

The new ones are supposed to turn to gel when you mix them with water and they're extremely hard to crush.

I doubt a 5mg would release over 12 hours though.
 
Ill take a straight up endone any day. I guess chewing or crushing isnt 100% going to negate the time release... 50mg wasnt as good as I was expecting. I remember having 15-20mg oxy in endone pills a year or so ago and the euphoria was so much more apparent than with the oxycontin pills.

I am pretty sure that OP's are only used in North America for the time being, not sure if they have any plans to roll that junk out here eventually. Seems kinda pointless as it does reduce the effectiveness of the meds somewhat and I really don't think oxy use in Australia is anywhere near as extreme as it is in many parts of the US.
