Hi,

New user here, hope im posting this in the right place. Iv searched some old threads but couldnt find the information i need.

Im in Australia and long time ago a friend gave me an 80mg OxyContin modified release tablet. Is greenish/bluey colour, 80 printed one side, an underscored “ON” on the other side. Still in blister pack and am certain it is genuine.

I have been a reasonably heavy drug user most my life, and have reasonably high tolerance for a few substances but limited in my opiate experience. Over a very long period (10ish years) iv had a few boxes of endones where id have about 4 at a time, few boxes of oxynorms (i think 20mg?), went through a codeine cold water extraction phase and a friend (same who gave the 80mg) once gave me some bupe, no idea on that dose other than a heroin addict freaking out after i said iv never had it before..it was so much stronger than anything else id had like it. Its been a long time since iv had any opiate so im aware my tolerance would be quite low. My questions are:

1. Is there a way to safely split this pill, or would having a quarter be worse as the modified release is tampered with and itll all hit at once?

2. For someone with my “naive” opiate experience, if swallowed whole would this be considered a dangerously high dose even if its modified release?

3. I think (could be wrong) these ones go a bit “gooey” when trying to crush them, however could i crush it and just swallow tiny pieces over a length of time?

4. Any unexpected interactions with meth?

Basically this pill has been staring at me for the last 10 or so years and i would like to enjoy it, im
just very cautious of the 80mg dose as in the past id guess the highest oxy dose i had wouldve been about 40mg. If there is a way i can make it into a few smaller doses thatd be great, or if its safer to not break. I have no concerns about opiate addiction, iv never gone far enough down that road and am confident in keeping these drugs at arms length. Cant say that about any other substances, but somehow have always been good with opiates and theyre not readily available to me like other things are.

If youre still reading i sincerely appreciate you taking the time to listen to my rambling words, and if able to offer any advice or share similar experiences that would be great.

Thanks
 
OxyContin has highest bioavailability when taken orally. If you are opiate naive I’d start with eating a quarter of the pill. Im not sure what brand that is. But it does sound like they altered the time matrix if it “gels up “ when crushed or whatever. You should feel great off a quarter of it. If not after an hour - hour and a half, take another quarter.

Unless you have tolerance, 80mg is quite a lot. As others have said, eating oxycodone is the BEST ROA since about 10% of an oral dose is converted to oxymorphone by first-pass metabolism by the liver. In fact it seems likely to me that around half the activity of oxycodone is due to oxymorphone being a much more active metabolite.

But also be warned that oxycodone moneys around with the monoamine levels of the brain so can be visciously addictive to some people. Be aware of that. Yes, it may feel great - but that greatness will only diminish with each use until you need the damned things to function.

You can always take more. It's action is long enough so that if at the 1 hour point a quarter of a crushed up pill swallowed isn't enough, you might consider a second.

But be careful with oxycodone. It can be a useful servent but it makes a terrible master.
 
Thanks for all the advice everyone. Really appreciate your time. Ended up splitting in quarters and chewing before swallowed. One quarter was pretty perfect for me and felt great. Glad i waited the full hour because at around 50mins wasnt feel anything so was tempted for more but in the last 10mins it all kicked in.
