For faster relief can I chew a 10mg Oxycontin tablet if I'm somewhat tolerant?

Chewing a 10mg Oxycontin tablet will destroy the time release mechanism and you will get all 10mg at once. This is no the way the pill is supposed to be used and doing this is considered abuse and is illegal.
From a health perspective, 10mg is not a high dose to receive at once, especially if you have a tolerance. With that said, chewing the 10mg tablet will provide faster acting and stronger pain relief, but will not last as long as taking the pill whole.
IF you need fast pain relief, talk to your doctor, he will most likely prescribe you emergency pain tablets for breakthrough. I have these, I'm on 80mg Oxycontin tabs, one a day, and I also have 15mg instant release roxicodone tabs for breakthrough pain.

Can you take Darvocet with Oxycontin?
Yes; however, you will nedd to take less of each drug. Both are prescribed for pain relief and work similar on the opiate receptors of the brain. Darvocet is a schedule IV narcotic and much milder than Oxycontin. Oxycontin is a schedule II narcotic and much stronger than darvocet. It really would not make too much sense to take both together because the Oxycontin will over power the effects of darvocet. Be very careful when combining different narcotic pain relievers.
