Serious Question about Vicadin:
 

Will it take away normal sore throat pain? I seriously don't know the answer to this. Belinda has a very big day ahead of her and has a sore throat. She has some Vicadin left over from a dental appointment from earlier this month. Thinking about having her take some...

Vicadin on a sore throat? Isn't that a little bit of an overkill? I'm sure it would help with the pain, but randomly stuffing that shit down your throat can't be good for you.

I'd suck it up, get some spray from the local CVS and get over it. But that's just me.

And also... consulting a doctor instead of GFY would *probably* be a good idea as well.

lol

Here's the thing: today is important enough that overkill is acceptable. Seriously. But no need to take it if it won't take the pain away.

The over-the-counter stuff isn't doing the trick.

whats Vicadin? we dont have that in australia? well it might be called something else... but no dont that it, it sounds bad

Just get some Chloroseptic (sp?), giving her vicodin might make her big day into a big nod.

Vicodin isn't dangerous when taken as recommended... it is just a run of the mill opiate.

Vicodin doesn't exactly make you want to do work, I would drive by and pick something up specifically for the sore throat....

It relieves pain, so yes..

woj, are you kidding? if i eat vicodin i get in the mood to work :)

It would work on a soar throat. But remember a soar throat is pretty painful so it might still feel a little soar... so don't pop another because you will pass out.

1 Vicodin is just going to take the pain away no matter what everyone else here says. It isn't going to mess her up at all; it is just 1 Vicodin... people are acting as if it were Oxycontin or something... it is just 1 simple Vicodin, won't have any effect on her except pain relief. Like I said, run of the mill opiate.

It would take around 3-4 to get high from Vicodins, and by then you're up to around 2000mg of tylenol, which is worse than the opiate.

Agree.

To be honest It will take the edge off of it a bit and sometimes you dont feel it at all till the vic's run out. Make sure its not strepth good luck

not sure, but when I take vicodin, working is the last thing on my mind... maybe I take too much of it or something, lol

prolly best to stop the 'deep throat action' before a big shoot :winkwink:

1 Vicodin will dull her pain, very very slight buzz... Depends on the dosage.. I have only ever taken 10/325's she pry has 7.5/750's maybe even 5/500's. Also up to 2000 mg of Aceitometophen won't hurt you (which is 4 of the 5/500's), it would be similar to taking 4 extra strength tylenol throughout the day.

If she takes 2 of those over 5-6 hours she will have no pain problems at all, however if you get into a habit of taking them they do make you lazy. If you only take them every once in a blue moon they will pique your interest in just about everything though - lol ...

The things are very very easy to get addicted to though so be careful. BTW, Oxy is no more dangerous than Vicodin when taken properly. It's when people start crushing them up that problems start. All Oxy is, is a time released pill of Percosat.

They make me sick.

yeah, me too.

I have never heard of taking Vicodin for a sore throat though. That is what they gave my mom after getting her eye removed.

Has she tried gargling with warm salt water?
