Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

Opiates are a central nervous system depressant and can slow the breathing rate to dangerous levels. Overdoses can be deadly. The amount of oxycodone you took is not enough to seriously harm you, so I would not be worried for your life, but I would seriously look at the possibility you are addicted to this drug and seek counseling for it. Reading over your previous questions, your use of controlled substances is escalating and in the future this could seriously harm you. I do offer therapy on this website via my private link if you are interested in addressing this in more detail.

In the future, for continuity of care, I encourage you to contact me at my private link below. After you ask a direct question it would be my pleasure to be your dedicated personal physician on this website.
