Hi all, I have a question. I recently received quite a few 60mgs OxyContins (red pills) I have never taken OxyContin before though. I have, however, taken percs and oxycodone though. A year or so ago I was taking about 6 20s of oxy a day. Haven't really taken any more regularly since, just some 10s of percs here and there. My question, would it be okay for me to tale an oxycontin? Should I break it up? Thanks in advance.

If it has been a year since you have been doing large amounts of it, and have only done a few 10mgs in the mean time, I'd suggest you take half or so of one and do not attempt to bypass the delay release. At the least, you will likely feel quite ill if you take 60mg of OC.
Better safe than sorry. You can always take more should you find it not sufficient.

You certainly should break it up. Your opiate tolerance is much lower now, and 60mg oxycodone is way too much...

60 is waaay too much with no tolerance. I suggest not doing it at all but if you must, take a much lower dose

Honestly, if you're going to be taking it orally, you need to start with a small dose. Try around ~15MG and if you feel well enough, try another 10MG, and so on.
When you have taken some 10s of percs here and there, how many did you take? You will still be taking the same drug (oxycodone) just in a different preparation. If you know what dosage of percocet would get you high now, divide the OxyContin to equal that dose and eat it. If 1 perc 10 would get you high then take 1/6 of the OxyContin pill, if 1 and a half perc 10s would get you high then take 1/4 of the OxyContin pill, if 2 perc 10s would get you high then take 1/3 of the OxyContin pill, etc.... I would just break it up into 6 equal pieces and treat each piece like it is a perc 10 since those are what you have had experience with recently.

Hey there.
As it is time-released, you should NOT be breaking it up if you are using it for legitimate pain relief.
You say you take percocet 10mg here and there, that is 10mg instant release oxycodone. However. 60mg OxyContin is around 58mg of pure oxycodone released over 12 HOURS. This means your average hourly dose is ~5mg which is only slightly above your tolerance level. If you break it up you are actually putting yourself at more risk as you may be stopping the time-release mechanism from working effectively, there is a reason it says not to break them up at all for legitimate pain relief.
So, take one whole as you should and see how you feel. Peak blood serum level results after around 3 hours from taking the pill so keep an eye on how you feel from the second hour after taking to the fifth hour after taking as these will be the most telling.
However, if you are taking them illicitly and want the full hit in one go instead of time release like it's meant to, then definitely do not crush the whole thing, crush a quarter/half of it and see how you feel after that.
Cheers!
