A simple and often very effective means of reducing nausea is to avoid taking medication with an empty stomach. I've always favored alternatives that avoid using one drug solely to treat the side-effects of another as the secondary drug can have interactions and side-effect risks of its own, which may include, but is not limited to, increased drowsiness in addition to Oxycodone's sedative effect.
Also, if I read your post correctly, you broke a 20mg OxyContin tablet in half. This is a definite no-no. It can compromise the time release mechanism, by which the tablet provides a sustained measured dose, of which both the tablet coating and contents are integral components.
Doing so may have released more Oxycodone into your system faster; and despite having consumed half the tablet, it may not have reduced the nausea you feel. Individuals with low opioid tolerance have received dangerous, sometimes lethal, doses upon compromising higher dose tablets. A safer alternative may be to ask your doctor to prescribe more frequent doses of the 10mg tablets. OxyContin is typically prescribed for relatively longer-term use, and most find that the nausea eases over time.
Although countless individuals have discussed the ramifications of circumventing OxyContins time-release mechanisms in just as many places, I encourage those who feel so compelled to share that information privately.
