Oxycontin/Percocet cross-tolerance?

[Prepster]

Would having a tolerance to percocets give me a natural tolerance to oxycontin?
I've done percs quite a few times, needing at least 10mg to feel it, but never exceeding 20mgs at a given time. I need 20mgs to really get that "good-feeling." I took a 20mg Oxycontin, never having done it before, and I feel only a little bit from it. Could this be due to my perc usage? I don't have THAT high of a tolerance, but since they are both oxycodone I could be naturally tolerant to it.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Of course you're gonna have some kind of a tolerance as they're both opiates! It should'nt be too huge though if all you've been doing before was percs..
Considering my previously heavy smack usage, I just love when I meet someone and they offer me 1 loracet or percocet...like thats gonna do anything HA

What he said. The two drugs are the same thing, they just have different brand names and one has acetaminophen while the other does not...

Also, if you just swallowed the OC 20 w/out crushing it or anything, you weren't getting all the drug at once, but instead over a period of 8-12 hours. This might have had something to do with it. I doubt that many ppl here could get much off of an OC 20 just swallowed.

I didn't just swallow it. I chewed it up. After I did this, I read that chewing it didn't really defeat the time release, so about an hour-and-a-half later I crushed one up and washed it down with some orange juice, and I felt slight relaxation, but no real euphoria. It lasted only a couple of hours, and then I went to sleep.
