If you're oxycodone tolerant, it shouldn't be too bad. Cutting it in half will make it release more oxycodone/ there by not lasting as long. In addition as your body gets used to the increase, you will need more to get the same effect. After bitting up my oc's into 1/4's for a week, a whole one seemed lame.  In the long run, it's bad news.

your better off to take them whole if you can, and only biteAnimal bite

Don't ever break the capsule in half!  The capsule has a special time released system that must be swallowed whole, otherwise you may get too high a concentration if the capsule is not intact.

its not a even a capsule, its a round tab, you dont even know what your talking about, if u eat a half of a 20mg oxy, its just like eatingAnorexia nervosa

I know a lot of people who are very very hooked on oc's and they pay a lot of money for them(25-40 dollers for a 40 mg.)and they lick the time seal off and crushCrush injury it then they snort it. they get in a good mood for a while then a bad mood. when they don't have them they don't do NOTHING at all just moan and ***** all day about how much painAbdominal pain

My Dr. started me out on 40mg. and has since raised it to 80mg twiceTwice-a-day a day. I've been taking these for about 4 months now, am I addicted???????? When the 80's stop working or I get immuneImmune globulin intramuscular

You may not be addicted but are surely physically dependant.  Tolerance continues to grow with narcoticsDrug abuse, hence the need for ever increasing dosages for the same effect.  Without knowing what you are taking the narcoticsDrug abuse to treat, it is impossible to advise you what alternatives or future treatment are available and advisable.

the effect will be much reduced
