my girlfriend and i take an Oxycontin once a week on a Saturday afternoon. We have done so for many many months. This is far from an addiction, just a good time on a Saturday :)

They're the newer Oxy Neo - we crush them up, swallow - for the first time last week we put them in Lemon Juice for 12 hours to get the time release off. I wish i came here more often and read about that before. It hit us in 20 minutes and lasted just as long...

We are officially down to four 40 mg's left.

I usually take a full 40 mg and my girlfriend 20 mg. My question is can i scale back from 40 mg down to 20 mg (this way we can share a pill and they will last us another month?)

When i mean scale back, i mean will i still "feel it" going down to such a lower amount? I don't want to waste an "Oxy Saturday". Or should i just stick with my usual 40 mg?

Thanks for any input!
 
I would feel 20mg of Oxy and I'm prescribed hydro everyday. 40mg for a non-tolerant person seems like overkill. That said, everyone reacts differently, so YMMV.
 
Good luck with that... that whole "control" thing is tricky.=D
