Hi,

I've got 1 x 40mg tablet of OC Oxycontin. I have never taken opioids before so have zero tolerance to them. I'd like to get high without ODing and killing myself. What should I do:

1. Take the whole 40mg tablet
2. Cut it in half and take 20mg
3. Cut into quarters and take 10mg

According to the official dosage, cutting causes fast release, so are options 2 and 3 actually any safer? If not, I'll just leave it until my tolerance is built up using smaller mg tablets.

Thanks.
 
Options 2 and 3 are much safer. I would go with option 3 (take 10mg). Since you don't have any tolerance to opiates at all...20mg would probably cause you to get pretty sick.
 
Yeah, I remember the days I would chuck for hours after 20mg. Now a handful of 80s wouldn't do it. A newbie can still huff down 20mg/oral IMO without too much negative side effect, but I'll admit that is pushing it. Big dude would be better than tiny girl there. Be safe.
 
Yeah, I should have clarified, in the early days I would nod hard off 20mg if I railed it. Swallowed wasn't so bad the first couple of times but that was probably just me.
 
Cut it into quarters and either rail or eat 10mg's at a time. When I first got into it I could eat 10mg's then rail 10mg's and be high for 8+ horus. So yeah start at 10 and work your way up to 20, but dont finish the whole thing in one day.
 
This may be disgusting but I don't remember getting constipated in the early days either. Just to be safe, you might want to chug some metamucil first too.

I've heard Metamucil actually can make opiate induced constipation worse because it adds bulk to the already hard, bulky stool. I may be totally wrong so if anyone else has had a different experience , by all means correct me.

I prefer stool softeners -- "Colace" along with my dose gives me no problems.
 
deppending on your sie and metabolism you may need more or less.;. crush up a quater and parachute it for immediate release, wait at least an hour, if the high is relly hardly notiveable, i would personnally consider it safe to redose 10mg... if you're really feeling nothing fro the first dose
 
Thanks for your advice everyone, sounds like 10mg is the best starting point. Hopefully this is an overstatement:

"Taking cut, broken, chewed, crushed or dissolved OxyContin tablets leads to rapid release and absorption of a potentially fatal dose of oxycodone." - http://www.rxlist.com/oxycontin-drug.htm
 
If it's one of the old ones, I'd snort 10mg and wait awhile. BTW, if you're taking it to get high, isn't the whole point releasing all the meds now? IMO, snorting the old OC's is the only way to go, hits quick, last pretty long and it's a "nice ride". Good Luck!

Nope, not in my experience, just slides right out. Yeah, that's right, I said it.

OP -- to avoid OD start very small, wait a bit, and SLOWLY work yourself up to a larger dose.

It's much easier to add doses than subtract...
