If you’re on that stuff you should be asking your doctor. Unless of course your using them illegally and injecting yourself of course.. All you need is one air bubble or a friend with HIV to find out in that case

I was unable to find any LD50 data for oxycodone, however The mean blood oxycodone concentration among the cases of oxycodone death was 0.69 mg/L. No direct data existed on the dose of oxycodone as I could identify no information in opiate naive patients. I found 42 deaths from oxycodone, but all of these were in drug abusers..

Well Mr Smith, this troubles me since you just opened this account for what seems to be to ask this question.
Please, this is not a drug to entertain yourself with. I'm not judging you, I'm sharing with you my experiance. It's not worth it. Don't be one of those people that says "it won't happen to me" because no one knows that. You can simply
stop breathing in your sleep. Why don't you just read up on it yourself, you will see that this is a very unpredictable drug when it comes to side effects. so you see there is not a answer to your question. You aren't gonna feel any better if you take this drug, all you are gonna do is bring yourself many more problems to add to the ones you have.

I PRAY you are asking because your Dr gave you a prescription rather than using it w/o one. If you had one, you would have discussed this with your Dr. Oxycodone is one of the most addictive drugs out there.

It would depend on body weight and metabolism. However, your reason for asking this question concerns me.
If you feel depressed, please seek assistance, if it for information purposes, then Dr Frank has the best answer.

Please refer to toxicology guidelines. I do not think we should be giving any advise about this topic. Would you all like to be accessory to a crime, if ever?
Sorry. But usually these medications are given with strict instructions and it will never be dispensed without proper labelling and guidelines.
I hope we could stop replying to this.
