How Much Is Too Much Oxycodone For A Male At Weight Of 225 Lbs (Page 4)

I would like to know what would cause an overdose in a male who is 225 lbs. in weight using oxycodone. I have over 220 5 mg. tabs.

Same here. Although my doses have never changed, the effectiveness is diminishing. I have been on a cocktail of 15 mg percocet and 15 mg of morphine twice a day for the past 3 years and am not getting anywhere. I give myself 5 years and then the end, if nothing changes or anything new comes along.

Listen I have had two cars drive into my body one of them causing a traumatic brain injury off of bicycle cracked open skull on the pavement the next blowing out my lower extremities 5 years post first accident. If you say that you can get a night's sleep and wake up in the morning and have one second even one nanoseconds of non-paid consider yourself lucky I have not slept in over 8 years but no f****** b******* I'm being dead serious when you suffer from traumatic brain injuries coupled with devastating consequences to your physical body you will not sleep you cannot find a comfortable position there is no REM. Just constant in an out maybe four to six times a night of getting up going to the bathroom laying down switching positions rolling over losing girlfriends because of it etcetera so if you're in the position that you're in where you have one nanosecond of non-paying consider yourself lucky

Methadone counters oxycodone? -that doesn't make sense. Most people are given methadone to get off of oxycodone, as it interferes with the receptors in the brain than intake the drug, and essentially stops it from working entirely.

Totally understand. 2 tbi's, c-Spine and lumbar screwed up. Plus ptsd. Not a second without pain and it would be the greatest to sleep. Done tried to checkout twice. That didn't even go right for me. I have no life at all but my kids. Which I can't even take care of by myself. I feel like a piece of crap cause I can't be a right farther to them. But they love me and I love them. Only thing that keeps around is knowing what it would do to them if I took my life. I can't do that to them.

Re: pain2long (# 4)

I hear ya brother. But I found that eating foods that help with muscle and bone , drinking plenty of fluids help with easing the pain. I was a 20-30 pill a day 15mg oxy, yes I felt great but it was the come down and dehydration that goes into effect that makes you take more. I've been through hell and back. Surgery after surgery and nothing. Still have the pain but manage it better........

Re: WheelWatcher (# 10)
I would suggest you go to a pain management specialist as they are much better than your PCP for controlling pain. They are up to date on the latest information on the management of pain and usually are more comfortable writing Rx for higher doses of drugs and usually know which works best together. Some drugs work well together and will significantly lower your pain, but others can actually cause both drugs to work less than if either were taken alone.

Bodies react differently. It's more if your body could tolerate any amount size doesn't make a difference it's your biochemistry

Re: pain2long (# 4)

I know this is very late reply, but oxycodone is the only opioid to provide me with any relief. I too took many of the same meds as you with absolutely no luck. I was very close to killing myself. 1 surgery and some oxycodone for post operative pain qualms pain free. I am currently taking oxycodone again, post heart surgery, and I am so lucky to have the pain well managed. It's unfortunate that a bunch of drug addict pill heads make it so hard for people who actually need these meds to get them.

Have you tried marijuana for your pain. I have 5 TORN disc's in my neck and 3 in my lower back and I have had 2 back surgeries. The CBD helps me with my pain more so than pain pills.

Re: Blade (# 63)

No it does not. Do some research before you go about giving your opinion. I have been on 30mg oxycodone 6x per day and methadone 10mg 3 in am and 2 in evening (5 per day). Methadone is my long-acting and oxy is my breakthrough. Yea methadone is given for example to treat opiate addiction, but it is indeed an opioid used in treatment of long-term servere chronic pain. I’m sorry if I came off in a d***ish manner, that was not my intention. I just wanted to enlighten you to the uses of methadone.

I am a 67yo male, 150 pounds. I have severe pain from an accident. My doctor prescribe Oxycodone 10-350. It isn't working at prescribed levels. I know I can't take too many tabs because of the apap toxity. I am planning on doing cold water extraction of the opiates from 50 10mg tabs. Will that dosage help relieve the pain?

Re: pain2long (# 4)

Hi. I am not sure if I stumbled onto your post by fate or what but I just typed into the Web the same question, only for a woman. Sadly the medication also is not helping me but as I read the 1st few responses I knew your question wasn't being answered, but I myself have been on all that u listed pretty much and after 22 yrs of no life, feeling as if my living was hurting everyone around me. Oh, after the 1st 10 yrs it wasn't near what it has become but I really believe being a certain person gives you reasons or whatever to fight or not. But I saw u said 30yrs u have had pain so bad and believe me I understand. But it eventually gets to a point..... if u want to talk more feel free to reach out, but I don't know if I know how these blogs work. But keep fighting as they say.....yes I hate that saying too??
