Hey guys thanks for reading this,so the doctor has given me Endone 5mg started me on 3 per day,,, and now I find myself taking 6 per day or every few hours to be pricise. I've been doing this for over a month.. So my tolerance is getting high. Would like to take more by would like to know what's a safe amount to take orally? Can I take 2-3 in one go? Any information would be greatly appreciated . Thanks!
 
I think it would be perfectly safe to take 10mg in a single dose.

I would increase the dose gradually, if 10mg is no problem for you then try 15mg and so on.

You have stated that your tolerance is increasing so you could probably take 20mg in a single dose and be fine.
At your present level of tolerance I wouldn't go above 30mg in a single dose.
I believe endone contains oxycodone as the only active ingredient so you could safely take multiple tablets without concern.
Regarding how much you can take in one day some people take 500mg or more but you really want to take the lowest amount that does the job, just be sensible if you are getting to drowsy you are probably taking to much.




The problem is once your tolerance starts to increase it becomes a slippery slope so be carefull.
If you are using it for a genuine pain issue you should talk about it with your doctor if the prescribed dose is not working.

If you're taking it recreationally increase the dose gradually.

Be aware however that oxycodone can be very addictive so please be carefull.

Not sure what your condition is or why you are taking it but is there a possibility that your prescriptions will run out? From what I've heard if youre taking large amounts daily you will have withdrawal spymptoms when you stop. The more you have the worse the withdrawals. Also your tolerance is going to go up and youre not going to get the same benefits from them. As far as the most you can physically take without dying according to pfizer the ld50 is 482 (That doesnt sound right at all to me. I dont think they can predict what amount is going to stop you from breathing) Repeat dose toxicity is listed as 1mg per kg over 3 months.

I'm sure there are people on here with actual pain management knowledge but a medical proffessional is probably who you need to be talking to about this.
 
You should definitely be fine to try taking two at once, if you find that isn't doing what you want you can try three at once another day. Don't take two then decide to take three a few hours later though, as some of the first dose will probably be active and you could easily overdo it.

Oxycodone is a very addictive drug, unless you really need it to manage pain you should probably be thinking about decreasing your daily dose, not increasing it. Your doctor is not likely to prescribe these to you forever, and if you keep taking 30mg per day then you are likely to find yourself in some serious discomfort when they decide to stop giving you the pills. Another benefit of breaking the pattern of daily use is that you will get more out of them when you do decide to take them.
 
Thanks for that....
He proscribed me these as I'm suffering from chronic arthritis although the pain is 24/7 even when I am taking Endone I can feel the pain in my hand and elbow . I agree with what you said, it's becoming addictive... I need to scale back, supply is low?..., and my sex drive is down.
To be honest the main reason I've realised I have to cut back is I was thinking of ways I can get boxes, not a good thing to think about while your laying in bed. Thanks to you all for your advice . I'll certainly stay on blue light , and hopefully slowly but surely get off dones. ???
 
Sorry to hear about your condition mate. My mum has the same thing and its nasty. Got to such a state that she was asking me for weed. And she is a serious antidrug crusader...
Hope they find something that can treat the cause at some point
 
Have been through a couple of really mild opiate withdrawals and while they are not as bad as your condition they are no fun. Using opiates messes with your mind as well as your body. Apparently opiate pain treatment can increase your sensitivity to pain and in some peoples opinion increase inflamation.
Not sure if cannabis is medical or on trial where you are but it could be worth a shot if you could access something with a broad spectrum of cannabinoids in it. When and if you do stop your meds do it slowly with a taper. 15-30 mg endone/oxycodone might not be too bad but if you get above that your cessation may be unpleasant if done rapidly.

Not sure of other rememdies. My mother talks about diet as a factor for her. Not sure if this is backed scientifically but worth giving it a shot and if it works better than being dependent on the pharmaceutical equivalent of heroin.
 
Hey mate,
The whole episode has got the better and I've been on this for roughly 5 weeks now... Pain is still there and unfortunately I gave in and increased my doses to 40mg a day,,, weed here is Australia is so accessible and while it's not classed as medical (not yet anyway) it would be a lot easier to give it a go.. Ive got heaps and heaps of Valium here at home, should I take that and try to reduce my doseage say take a Endone when I wake wait 3 hrs and take a Valium wait 3 hours and take a Endone etc and Try reducing that way? I'm not sure if it has and negative impact taking both at once? Do you not much about the 2 mixed? I guess I'm at a point now where I have to do it without the withdrawals I don't want to go through it so I need to work it out quickly. Have you got any other advice on how to deal with this? Well im not sure where the last 5 weeks are, I can't remember to much of it part from fighting with the girl a couple weeks ago... It's a ticking time bomb to get fit for work again....cheers legends look forward to hearing from you guys?
 
Both have a long half life if I recall corectly. Not much point switching between the two I would guess. Keep some valium incase you need to withdraw. I'm no expert but 3 hrs sounds like a very short period of time. More like no endone then valium tapered down for 3 days. There is a tapering thread on here and plenty of opiod threads check the darkside and other drugs. Dont know if valium will help with the pain management effects of endone but it will potentiate the other effects. I have got very fucked up from mixing the two and there is a risk of over dose. Save the valium for when your endone script finishes it may help with any withdrawals you experience, You dont want to be come dependent on either of those things. Opioid withdrawal is meant to be horrible but valium withdrawals can cause seizures or death. Be careful
 
Dudeman80 if you want to minimize wd then pull up now.

The longer you stay on and the higher your dose the worse your wd will be when you stop.

I agree with the previous poster do not start taking the valium along with the endone it will just make things harder, if you use valium daily for more than a few days you will have withdrawl symptoms when stopping and it could also be dangerous if you have no experience with this combo.



If it were me I would taper your endone down over the next week or so then stop.

You haven't been on to long and jumping ct from say 20mg would not be to uncomfortable.

Save the valium to help when you stop using the endone.
In my experience weed can help during mild opioid withdrawl, don't know how it would go for your pain though I have heard people say it helped their pain.



There really is no way to break an opiod habit without some level of discomfort.

In my opinion the best way to break yours with minimum discomfort would be taper your endone down as low as you can then use the valium to get you through the first few days after stopping.

There are other meds you could use to help during wd but if you stop withing the next week or so and jump from say 20mg you really shouldn't need anything else, it should not be that bad mate.

and my sex drive is down.

hmmm i was going to go on about how opiates and sex are insane fun and then i realised you have fucked up arthritis.

Now regarding pain relief endone which is basically a version of oxycodone/branding thing was meant to be prescribed to patients because of supposeded long acting pain relief and reduced euphoria and such.

Unfortunately the drug company completely skewed/lied on the research. Worse because they claimed it was effective up to 18 hours patients were meant to be dosed on a similar schedule. Meaning that in places like the US if you took your dose early and ran out your insurance wouldn't pay for anymore oxy...even if presumably you had a script.

They bullied doctors and pharmcists to ensure that patients did not recieve scripts that instructed dosing on a tighter schedule.

so Dudeman80 i would recommend that you go to your doctor. IF there a GP then ask for a referral to a specialist and or a specialist in pain management. This isn't a thing a GP should be managing, can manage or generally has an open enough mind to manage. Otherwise depending on what state your in have a look at the sticky re finding a prescriber for one of the below meds

if there are no other treatments that work for your condition then you need to face the possibility that you will need to use opiates for a long time. Now this isn't a bad thing. However Oxy is a fucked up drug. Its analgisc affects are way overblown and the way its prescribed/dosed you'll just end up with a mega huge fucked up habit, leading you down into heroin and other opiates to just get on. Worse the risk overdose on endone/oxy is a possiblity. Especially if you mix it with other drugs like alcohol. Really it should be used for extremely short term pain.

If you want a life where you're not not always counting your pills, working out where to get the money, time and energy to get on whilst hiding from everyone then you need to find a specialist, even a drug addiction specialist.

and investigate/explore the following

- temgesic. Its buprenorphine. A powerful, long acting opiate. It was taken off the market but apparently its back. Lasts for 72 hours but you'll dose pretty regularly to keep levels up. The only problem with temgisc is you'll have to come down with the endone dosing because its dose is relatively low for habitual opiate users.

- suboxone
. Another buprenorphine medication but it has naloxone, its only used in the treatment of "addiction". Now in your case it will have a dual purpose. Its a really powerful pain reliever, not just because of the buprenorphine but because of the naloxone (which has been used in chronic pain management). The good thing about suboxone is if taken as directed you won't get high but you will have pain relief (there are ways to get high with it but hey lets not go there). You'll have to submit urine regularly, and in the first week or two daily (or you can double/triple dose if attending daily isn't practical) but in your case you'll probably get takeways quickly if you come clean about the pain management issue and taking your endone script outside of instructions.

Once you're on suboxone its extremely difficult to overdose on. Though for the opiate naive its exceedingly easy to die/overdose on.

- methadone (similar in terms of the bupe meds). Its a different opiate but lasts up to 72 hours and is also used in chronic pain management. Unfortunately because of how its dispensed, like the bupe you'll have to induct and go to a clinic/chemist and daily dose until they trust you.

Has the potential to give you a "high" which is why a lot of addicts end up getting it over the bupe. but hey whatever floats your boat. Its a powerful opiate, has great pain relieving qualities and once you've inducted difficult to ovedose on whilst simultaneously long lasting (72 hours)

So dude, there are a heap of options. Endone is like the worst option for chronic pain management.

edit: But don't try to withdraw from opiates on valium and weed whilst having a chronic pain condition. Opiates metabolites in addition to getting you high and relieving pain also activate certain receptors that flood your body with inflammation producing cytokines. These create the discomnfort that we call dope sick or opiate "withdrawal" syndrome (which obviously has nothing to do with withdrawing from opiates). For most people it takes around 5-10 days to reduce the elevated levels that an opiate addict has. They're also been found to be involved in depression and anxiety.

However in your case these cytokines will be causing even greater levels of pain.

Now i'm not saying you're weak and doomed to fail but if you can find the right doctor you can remove a great deal of stress and anxiety (over possibly failing in your plan to taper down) whilst finding the right opiate at the right dose for you. What state are you in?

So,
The question was ?Max.endone doseage per day?orally?

This fairly simple if you look at a single day.
The half life of oxycodone is approx 3.5 hrs
So work out your tolerance level, take that every 3.5 hrs and you?ll be fine.
I take 10mg in the morning (if needed) then take 5-10mg every 3-4 hrs. That?s 40-70mg in a day.
If I take it for several days, my tolerance increases, making my initial dose higher. And subsequent doses higher.
Currently I?ve been taking it since early December. I?ve had 120mg today without any issues.
The beauty if endone is the nausea. If you feel it, you?ve found your limit. Take 1/2 a tablet every 30 mins until you are comfortable or experiencing nausea.
You?ve just found your max PRN dosage.
After 4 hrs, take half your ?dosage? and Just titrate up to your comfort level.
If you want it for a recreational high, I do not endorse that kind of behaviour. But don?t do it more than once every 5-7 days, or your tolerance will increase too rapidly to manage.
If it?s for pain, as you have stated,
What type of pain?
I personally find that endone works best in a burst, followed by sustained intake.
I take 10mg initially then take half of that every 4-6 hrs, if the pain is creeping up, take half a tablet then the other half when you are due.
I used this method to get down from 60mg per day to 20-30mg per day.
I don?t know your condition, but taking ibuprofen and paracetamol are key. my chemotherapy has destroyed my liver, so I can?t have paracetamol. But the ibuprofen helps with oral pain and any type of inflammation associated pain.
Paracetamol is a great potentiator in general. But watch your LFTs
I realise this is an old thread, but hope my experience helps someone in the future to both:
- calculate their daily max
- keep as far below that as possible
Cheers,
 
I've been taking endone, oxycontin for over a year now . My tolerance is high so I can take 10-15 at a time to work for my pain . I miss the days wher I could take one 5mg endone
And be fine for 4 hours . These days it's 50-60mg for brakthrough pain to actually work . Also on 40mg oxycontin twice a day but again Most days taking double that to actually work.
But keep in mind just slowly increase ur dosage like Aussiekiss said .
