Default Oxycodone IR question

Can an opiate tolerant individual take two 30 mg oxycodone IR tabs every 6 hours? I don't know the answer, thought I would ask here since I'm not a drug person.

You should NOT go by what someone else says you can tolerate. It could end up being fatal for you.

At one time I used to take thirty 30mg Roxies daily. I would typically take 6-7 30mg each time I dosed throughout the day. But my heart also stopped two different times.

Taking 60mg oxycodone four times a day is serious. Be very careful and I hope you're under the care of a dr. God bless.

I know people get on advice sites and say "a friend" and such, but that's actually the case. I'm not a pill person, never was.

I don't think there will be any problems for him. I know for a fact he's been taking those things for over a year. I worry sometimes too quickly, I just wanted to find out if the tolerance rule applies with medications like that or not.

Poison Control told me just to keep an eye on the dude and that they will call me back after some time has elapsed.

I welcome anyone's input on this issue as the education would be gratefully appreciated.
