Not only should you, but you should do a Search on my username once a day and read every single brilliant _bon mot_ that comes out of my keyboard. 😉

(Yeah, too much oxycontin or morphine or vicodin or dilaudid or other opioid painkiller = no more breathing. Although, yeah, you probably won’t be feeling any pain, either.)

If it were 40mg of oxycodone, you’d most likely spend your night vomiting violently. Unless you have a tolerance.

Here’s a site that can help identify what they are, if it matters.

> **[Pill Identifier (Pill Finder Wizard) - Pill Identification Tool Using Drug...](https://www.rxlist.com/pill-identification-tool/article.htm)**
>
> Wizard pill finder tool to help identify pills by tablet imprint codes, shape or drug color. View drug pictures to help identify drugs including prescription, OTC, generic, and brand names.

I tried a few of the ones I have around and got the correct answers.
