I found my son with some of these pills(A333, white, oblong or oval shape) with a pile of white powder which i assume is the pills broken down to insufflate, im not sure what pill it is, im honestly nervous for him, any help identifying the pill, and what are the overdose and/or how addictive is it?

the pill you are asking about is oxycodone 10mg + acetaminophen 325mg basically a pain killer and as to you finding it as a powder, yes he is prolly abusing it.

This tablet contains 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, it is a generic for Percocet, a narcotic analgesic, which means that yes, it can be very habit forming/addictive.

An overdose could result in lowered blood pressure, lowered heart rate, loss of consciousness, shallow breathing and possibly death.

If you aren't familiar with Oxycodone, it is the same drug that is in the medication Oxycontin, which no doubt you've heard of on the news/in the media, due to how often it is abused and the incredibly high rates of addiction.

Usually, when crushing into power, it's used in one of two ways, snorting or injecting. Snorting it can get someone high, but is very, very dangerous.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Being crushed, he is probably insufflating it. I doubt he is administering it intravenously because of the acetaminophen in it.

Oxys are highly addictive..five days ..and you can feel it. I have tried it shortly related to back injury. I understand your worries. I am glad that there is focus on it in the US. In Scandinavia the same is happening even though it is not as bad with abuse here..I hope your son is OK.
