Oxycontin Op Duration 40mg Cut In Half (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

Given the protective qualities of the new Oxy OP, if you cut, say a 40mg tab in half, does it still release the drug slowly? I noticed there is no warning label on the bottle saying do not chew. In other words, given the new formulation, if cut in half does it still retain its slow release quality?

Try to ask your doctor to raise you up to Oxycontin Op 60 milligram 3 times a day. That should solve your problem. Good luck :-)

Hey what did you end up doing? Did you doctor up the dosage and did you try weed?

Yes. It's homogeneous with the timed release matrix, so half of a 20 would be like taking an op 10.

Heroin & marijuana are both illegal... I suggest you try marijuana first before you destroy your life with heroin.

I've had the series of 3 epidural injections prior to a lumbar laminectomy with fusion. They were an effective temporary relief for me, but since then I have read some pretty scary things in them in medical journals. Between the technicians (not MDs) allowed to perform the injections into your spinal cord to the FDA's findings on certain drugs approved for it. I was fortunate to not be one of the patients affected by the cases of permanent paralysis, stroke or meningitis.

Thw more u take the more pain sensors your body makes. So tolarance grows. You have to cut back and maybe admit to a hospital program to help detox a little while then u can reatart a lower dose if needed

Amen to that. I for one do not agree with heroin use. I just recently lost a very close relative from a heroin OD. The needle was still in his arm. He was found by his dad about 12 hours after his death. However, I genuinely can't stand a hypocritical, egotistical, cynical, website trolling, judgemental puke! This thread is rather old and not likely to even be looked at anymore. I stumbled across it because I am looking for answers regarding pain relief. My lumbar spine is so screwed up to the point it'd be easier to answer "What's NOT wrong with your lumbar," rather than "What's wrong with it?" Does anyone know of any non-addictive methods of treating debilitating back pain? I work, I'm a wife, a mother of 3, and I suffer from pain. Lots of it! That pretty much sums up my life :( I'd be willing to try pain medication if I knew for sure my body wouldn't develop a dependency, but from what I've read, that is like asking to find gold at the end of a rainbow! God bless all of you folks in pain! Prayers are with you!!

If you cut a 40mg opana in half does it become a 20 mg. pill then? I have taken 2 10 mg. of opana which would be 20 mg and been able to function fine & I've cut a 40 mg opana which you would think make it a 20 mg & when I did that I was extremely messed up. Why would the 40 cut in half be SOOOO much stronger then 2 10's...I would think that they both would be considered 20...the 40 cut in half made me node off & wasn't able to function!
