What is your oxycodone dose? I was prescribe 2.5 mg, by cutting the 5 mg tablet in half. I also take it only at night to help with sleep. Hopefully I can stay on this minimum dose. One does build up a tolerance for this drug.

I was prescribed 5 mg, which I split occasionally at first to 2.5 mg to see how I would react. I think, but not sure, the lower dose may not be as effective anymore for me.
