Opiate/Oxycodone Use with Mushrooms- Safe?

Hey, first post, and what a great site!
I take short acting (4 hour) 10 mg oxycodone 4x daily for chronic pain for 1/2 a year now. I have a tollerance (no euphoria or other high dose side effects).
I have been trying to find the possible interactions between oxycodone and mushrooms but have found nothing.
How do opiates interact with psilocybin? Are there any possible interactions or contradictions? Thank you!
I have read that psilocybin and opiates act on the opiate receptors within the brain, and I would hate to have some sort of compounding effect; I'm going to wait to hear back before doing them. 
Thanks very much!

in my experiences with high doses of stronger opiates, id say u will be fine i fu r only taking 10 mg oxycodone. i do have to say it may slightly dull the trip, but it would probably just be better to take an extra .5 or something than deal with pain while tripping. i experienced no negative side effects in my experience, unless u call sleeping like a baby after the trip a side effect. have fun

Did this combination just a few weeks ago; I took 40 mg of oxycodone while on 1.5 grams of shrooms. If anything it just made me more relaxed and sort of sleepy. It felt good though, it was a good combo along with some good weed. Anyway, it's safe. have a good time

Opiates are safe to mix with mushrooms, because they both work in completely different way in the brain. Put simply, opiates act primarily on the neurotransmitter dopamine, whereas mushrooms act on the neurotransmitter serotonin.
Physically, mushrooms are extremely safe, and impossible to overdose on (unless you have a syringe and a ton of pure psilocybin.) Opiates by themselves (can) cause a drop in body temperature, blood pressure, and suppress respiration (to the point of death.) So if you're using the opiates safely enough to begin with, which you are, you'll be fine.
As a rule of thumb, the well-established, natural psychedelic drugs such as mescaline, psilocybin, DMT -- as well as marijuana, do not produce any adverse, health-endangering physical effects. They may slightly increase your heart rate and blood pressure, and could possibly make you nauseous or dizzy (and sometimes twitchy or induce "phantom pains.") But if you are healthy (i.e. you don't have an underlying heart condition,) they are extremely safe, and have thousands upon thousands of years of human use to back that up.

Yes any opiate dosage that is safe for you. If you are looking for just a really chilled out trip, I have had a great time with heroin and mushrooms. But I can tell you, it really killed alot of the spiritual/higher consciousness aspects of the trip. I spent alot of the time just lying there, completely unaware that myself or anything existed. Now sure this happens with just mushrooms but I definitely noticed alot less of the higher thinking and more of just a sedated trip
