Different question..: while an average of about 20 mg a day may or may NOT lead to either (in about 1 month), the real question is why even take the chance?

Individual variance: Timing of tolerance is really very individual but in general, if you've been taking the oxycodone this way for awhile you are likely becoming tolerant and withdrawal symptoms typically start to occur within 24 hours of your last dose. If you are looking to stop the drug I would recommend discussing and making a plan with your prescribing doctor to get off safely and lessen your withdrawal.
