OWWWW

I just had some surgery and my doctor prescribed some Vicodin.

I've already taken twice the recommended dosage but it isn't doing anything. Any medfags know the real max dosage of hydroco I can take semi-safely.

Thanks

Just talk to your doctor or suck it up.

Else enjoy your opiod addiction, with a change of sucking of some drugdealer for heroïn if you can't afford your doctor(s) visits any longer.

>> No.3109693

you can take a fuckton of hydrocodone safely, like over a hundred mg, vicodin comes with like 325mg apap though and more than 2000mg of that a day over time or like 5000mg in one day will majorly fuck you up

either way if you take more than you need enjoy your hard drug addiction

Ok OP, now for an answer from a person who isn't a complete crackhead.

1. What kind of surgery was it?

If it was anywhere around the facial/head area, I would suggest Ibuprofen. That stuff clears "headaches" caused by a buildup of pressure within the sinuses. Fucking hurt bad when I had the flu, and panadol didn't do shit.

If you have anything else, like a "torn acl" (Whatever the fuck that is. This is /sci/, use big words please.)
or some other ache, just take regular painkillers. You know the stuff with Parecetamol in it.

I don't think you can OD on paracetamol or ibuprofen. Believe me, I've tried, but watch out for paracetamol, as that stuff thins your blood down and can make you slightly weary throughout your day.

And no, you can NEVER tell how much is OD-much.
You're effectively asking how close you are to the edge of a cliff with a blindfold on. You don't know how close you are/were until you finally fall off/it's too late.

>> No.3110158

take em all.

seriously breh, vicodin is weak sauce.


they either gave you 2.5 or 5 mg of hydrocodone (you can tell, the dosage is labeled as X/YYY where X is the value of the hydrocodone in mg and YYY is the value of the acetominophen, tylenol, in mg).


with literally no tolerance whatsoever, 20 mg of hydrocodone is completely fucking safe. that would be 4-8 pills depending on how strong your prescription is.

Also remember that it depends on when you last ate food, how greasy or how much cellulose (fiber), and how active your gut is.

also it takes about 1.5 hours for vicodin to kick in (hydrocodone is metabolized to morphine inside of your body before the drug does anything, so it takes 45-1.5 hours depending)

>> No.3110161

>>3110089
Sorry, this isn't /fit/

Anyway, do you have that now? Or just a stomach ache?

If its the former, and paracetamol ain't working, see if you can get Voltaren. It's this weird jelly thats supposed to stop inflammation. Feels nice too.

But if its late out, just use some very cold tomato sauce/mustard/yoghurt. Hell use cold lube. Something jelly-like and cold and apply.

If its the stomach ache, drinking or eating something sweet might help. Said yoghurt might be better applied internally in primary digestive organ.

street heroin is wayyyyy cheaper than prescription drugs, unless you have hilariously good health insurance.


1 gram of good quality heroin is ~$100-150 depending on how good your hook up is (it can be less).

1 gram of good quality heroin is usually ~850 mg of "opiates" which includes Morphine, monoacetyl morphine, and diacetyl morphine (heroin).

fyi, this is often the source of confusion on the subject of purity of heroin. people will often claim that a certain type of heroin has "a low potency" and point to references that say "25% heroin."

that is because they do not take into account the "impurities" morphine and monoacetyl morphine (which are the starting point and half way point in the synthesis of heroin)

this is especially true for mexican brown tar, which often exceeds 90% opiate purity.
anyway, that means you are buying ~5.5 mg of morphine/heroin for 1 dollar.

a 10 mg "norco" (yellow pill 10/325 vicodin generic) would cost you equivalent of $2.

an 80 mg oxycontin would cost ~$23 at this equivalent rate
if you have excellent health care, then there is no comparison, because the cost of these drugs will most likely be "free" or extremely inexpensive.

but in 2011, you need to be a cancer patient to get oxycodone prescribed to you.

doctors are increasingly more and more concerned/afraid to prescribe strong pain killers. its well known. I know people who legitimately needed them who were told no by MULTIPLE doctors. these are people with 12" long scars on their spine from back surgery, not "oooh my foot hurts."
