Safety Of Splitting New Oxycontin Op In Half
UpdatedIf you cut in half a new oxycontin OP no matter the doses (10, 20, 30, 40 etc.) does it retain the same time release quality? I am dropping down and want to know if 2.5 is just that, a time released 2.5? A drop from 3 mgs will help with my goal to get to zero, asap. I don't want a sudden flood of oxy hitting my system. This is about detoxing.....

Hello, Gantlope! How are you?
No, it still isn't safe to cut them, you may still get too much of the Oxycodone. If you wish to taper off, it would be best to ask your doctor about prescribing the non-time released tablets, which you can cut.
The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
Is there anything else I can help with?
