I also took a half of a 10mg oxycodone early in the day. I know they have a rapid release when cut in half. I just dont wanna overdose
Brief Answer:
5 mg every 2-3 hours okay. But consider Oxycontin .
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern. If you an average to well built person, 5 mg 2-3 hours apart is okay. But if frequent dosing is required, it is better to change over to a more controlled released form , "Oxycontin" twice daily. In people with compromised kidney finction, frequent dosing may cause drowsiness , nausea or even vomitig.
