can you cut oxycodone in half

re oxycodone, which are white, flat and round then you can cut them in half and make them last tonger. Oxycodone is percocet and oxycontin is...oxycontin. There the same chemically but one is time released and the other isn't. Just make sure if it's oxycontin you don't cut them in half. It will make the situation worse.

t tell you what to do. You have to decide if you can taper or just go cold turkey. I wish you the best. Oh and remember either way will be a challenge. But lots of people have quit.

I titrated down from 6 x 8mg Suboxone and took my last single dose of 8mg yesterday how long before it is completely out of my system? does anyone know when I can start back on oxycodone?

I know it sounds daft but he was told to try and eat a small handful of brazil nuts throughout the day they are a brill form of iron and they did seem to help. Hang in there you are doing really well. I wish you all the best for rest of tx.

I've had some suggestions to cut the pills in half, but I have capsules, not tablets and they cannot be cut in half. What should I do??

t explain how to go about that. My husband cut the oxycontin in half and I took that once at night and once in the morning for 3 days. When I thought about the next steps to get off the oxycodone, I thought to call the pharmacy for advice. I found out that I was on a 20mg time release oxycontin, and that cutting it in half meant I was cutting through the time release shell, and was just getting a burst of the oxycontin. Well, I wasn't going back there, so I just didn't take anymore.

I realize this may sound strange but I was wondering if any of you have a "pill cutter" at home or do you just cut your pill in half with a knife? I am cutting down on the dose of my beta blocker per my Doctor and I was wondering if I have to purchase a pill cutter or can I just cut it with a knife or razor? I am a little anxious because you aren't supposed to "crush or chew" these pills and I'm afraid that if I cut it.......perhaps it will be crumbly.

t and you have not been on them that long there is really no need to draw it out. You could cut it in half every day and should be fine if you are truly not dependent. You would know with how your body is feeling. This is something you really need to be talking to your doctor about. If you are this concerned about it your doctor should be clued in. That is what they are there for. Thery are there to help you.

Isn't Opana Time Released? I know you're the doctor, but I don't think you should inform people to cut their medications in half, ESPECIALLY if they're time released as this could cause a rapid release of all the medication in turn making her more sick, or am I wrong?

Hey there...you cannot cut the dose in half....i would call your doctor and see if he/she can change your meds or if it's ok to stop..Levaquin can be given in 250, 500 & 750 mg doses...I was on Levaquin earlier this year for uti and had horrible side effects, so i just stopped taking the meds...I had horrible heart pounding, swollen knees and it felt as if someone had beaten the crap out of me with a baseball bat...

Yes its ok to cut it in half. It should have a little place on the pill where to cut it. If you want to be absolutely sure you can always ask your pharmacist.

But where it was only 24hours or so, it will probably show up and you might get cut off. Just giving you it honestly. Only other thing u may be able to throw out there is IF u were prescribed oxycodone before or at all recently and u had a bottle laying around u could say you had it in your cabinet and you were having a bad say so u took a few. It still may be bad but worth a try.

s an 80mg pill than it must be timed release and you would not want to cut it in half as that could release all 40mg at once. You should talk to your Dr about tapering and meds to taper with.

Thank you for the advice. It's good to know i'm not alone. Hopefully you won't mind if i do write to you for support.

Metoprolol 25 mg. Does it make a difference in what I'm taking, wether I can cut in half or not? The PA knows what I am taking and he told me just to cut it.

The Lyrica and gabapentin will help with a lot of the withdrawal symptoms as well. The best thing is for you to cut down. Do a nice slow taper and I am sure it will minimize withdrawal symptoms. Perhaps it may be better to come off one pill at a time. Hopefully others chime in with some better advice.

Is it ok to take a 20mg oxy and cut it in half. Take 1/2 in the am and 1/2 in the pm.. I am trying to wean off of them all todether. I also take alprazolam(Zanax) mid way thru the day to help with the panic feeling. Again I had 1mg pill so I cut them in 1/2 and take 1 midway thru the day and 1/2 at bedtime. Looking for some help.

t cut the oxycodone is it is time released and you will get too much at a time if you cut or break them. work out a plan cut out one pill a week, that gives your body time to get use to the lower dose and the w/d arent as bad. good luck! there will be others on later that might have more advise.

I was pushing my mini van to get to someone to jump it and I tripped and fell and my van rolled over my lower leg. I was diagnosed with a Maisonneuve Fracture and extreme soft tissue damage.
