im addicted to vicodin
 

i think ive been taking atleast 1 a day for nearly or actually over a year now

what health risks am i facing?

serious post

You've only been taking 1 a day? if you were really addicted, it would built up to 10+ a day by now.

shrunken nuts

In the long run? irreversible liver damage, especially if you mix it with alcohol.

Be honest, only one per day?

Not that serious but it will fuck with your respiratory system thats for sure

i used to take about 3 or 4 a day but i cut that shit out long ago...

1 a day or sometimes only a half.. it chills me out and i can work like a racehorse

yes only 1 and sometimes only a half of the 750mg or the little yellow ones that are 10/325

either way only a half or 1 tops

One a day isn't an addiction. I wouldn't give it a second thought until you're dropping 4 or 5 a day.

when you got pharmacies calling you up every day it makes it too easy to get this shit

an addiction is something you do on a consistant basis without interruption..
im addicted

i havent noticed anything other than i cant poop for a day or 2 lol

that really sucks

yeah, literally its an addiction. But its like being addicted to having a cup of coffee in the morning. Not a big deal.

I have a standing prescription for Vicodin and only use them as needed to reduce pain...usually only when I travel. When I travel I usually take one every two hours...and other than reducing the pain to some extent I cannot tell that I have taken anything...other than the heartburn they seem to give me. I have had a prescription for years and I do not find them to be addictive at all.

if you are serious,,,I'll ask my wife,,,she is a pediatrician.

If I only do 1/2 gram of coke daily am I addicted ? Hell fucking yeah ...

i am very serious

i dont lie and make shit up :) i would never...

yes im serious

Not only are you addicted, but you're a master of self-control.

LOL one a day.....you're not addicted. I have a friend who takes 30 a day....that's no lie.

Liver toxicity would be the biggest problem.

since vicodin is made from the tylenol base, DO NOT TAKE TYLENOL

Taking Tylenol on top of the vicodan would cause respitory problems, GI bleeding (gastrointestinal) and irreversible kidney damage.

I dont think that theere is much risk, except posting it on a board where any one can read. And adding fuel to the fire.

i think the side effects of are already showing....among those are
1. 'bashing competing affiliate program and watch clueless users bumping the thread' 2. see side effect #1.

oh yeah, and they're terminal...

30 a day? Impossible. Unless he's taking them without acetaminophen.

Why did you start taking them though. Back problems, or something like that?

they just chill me out and i work better

It helps him deal with gfy.

lol they are a casualty of war

try quitting for 30 days. if you don't have a problem, then that 30 days should be a fucking breeze.

you don't watch oprah do you?

she did a special a while back about housewives that are addicted to pain killers...some of those women were taking 20-30 pills a day consistantly for months/years on end

i can honestly say I have taken upwards of 15 norcos in a day, easily...i fucking love pain killers

only on gfy...
Quote of the day :1orglaugh

Not that big of a deal, except for all the tylenol you are taking.

Leave me your ICQ or AIM, I have a hookup for the pills to get you off vicodin without withdrawl

AIm EpcCsh

is it a narcotic?

Seems like everyone on GFY is on drugs. Paxil for me :(

You like painkillers try Roxicet - 30mg.. Broke both my legs in a Bike accident years ago, been addicted ever since

Am I supposed to feel bad not watching Oprah?

Nigga, please. :1orglaugh

Let's say that they take 30 vicodins a day.

That's 30 X 500mg = 15 000mg of Acetaminophen

The liver can take up to 4000mg of acetamiophen a day. After that, it's an acetaminophen overdose and it leads to liver failure, unless the antidote, N-Acetyl-cysteine, is given.

I don't know how and why they survived, but my 1st guess = Bullshit.

Hmm I don't think it would be to bad for you. Certainly not good, but not terribly bad either. How much of a buzz or whatever do you get from taking one? I took 1 for the hell of it when i got my wisdom teeth out. I didnt need it because I wasnt in pain, but it didn't do anything to me. gave em all away.

Last time I got sick the doc gave me cough syrup with vicodin in it. That shit's EVIL! I found myself downing 1 quarter of the bottle per day (when i was spose to take one teaspoon per day) till it was gone.

I would take a sip, rip a bong, take another sip, rip a bong. Total vicious cycle. If I ended up with another bottle... I would have been so fucked. Get off it man and go see a Doc to help the cravings.

WTF?! I always wanted to try that shit. You gave away your Vicodins? :(

do you think it has anything to do with the 'sitting all day in front of the computer and not getting out enough' thing? i suppose youre dropping paxil for..what? social anxiety disorder? or depression?

Yeah...they don't do anything to me...as stated...barely lower the pain level and give me heartburn...other than that...nada.

nah man, i know guys here in town that take 10-20 a day easy of those things

and when my wife was real sick, she was up to 3 pills a dose, and probably 4-6 times a day...of the 10/325 norcos

on a partying kind of night, i have been known to take 15-20 of them easy

when you start taking them, you start slow and gradually move up to bigger doses, and as you do your body starts building tolerances to the chemicals involved...including acetaminophen

yeah, i am sure we all have serious liver damage, but my wife and I also take natural herbs and chemicals to help the liver...kind of a counteraction of sorts

and btw, oprah is pretty damn informative sometimes...you should have seen that shit she did on meth addicts...amazing show that was

---

on a side note, people also say that anything over 3-4 grams of cocaine within a 4 hour period is toxic and should be considered an overdose...I used to snort gram lines, and do upwards of 1/2 - 1 ounce a night on my own

It's amazing that you only take one/day. As discussed on the board, normally people will advance to 10-15 day to get the buzz. Once you take that many the issue becomes physical dependance - your body aches, you have the chills, etc when you don't have them. That much Acetaminophen will also screw up your liver.

I started out around 1/day then after a few years ended up at 8-10/day. I tried to kick them cold turkey a few times but the physical pain was too harsh. I finally went to a doc and got off them ine a few weeks using Suboxone 2 mg - no withdrawl. It's the new methadone.

Personally I don't think one day is anything to worry about. It's almost like having a beer everyday. Nobody would question that. Start worrying when 1 is 2 then 3,4,5,.....

easy, can you stop taking them?

if you cant go without them them yes, you are addicted.

he says he is addicted, why argue with the man if he is or isnt, or what addiction is...

Acetaminophen (tylenol) makes up most of the dose.. its bad for you, you would be better to get your hydrocodone without it, or with aspirin instead, like lortab.

regardless, why does a pain killer help you relax and get work done? if you have chronic pain there are other solutions, if you need to relax there are other solutions...

physically it shouldnt 'chill you out', i guess psychologically you cant relax till you take one?

Rich

vicodin is good but don't take too many at one time or you could go deaf.
:upsidedow

nfc why it helps.. i have no pain

but all i know is it helps and i get shit done more than without it

Dont bring the Meth head into this.

your gettin good at this thread thing.
