I will have 2 10mg Hydrocodone pills. I am 160 pounds and wondering how much I should take for recreational use. Would a 10mg pill be fine or should I take half to start and then take more after an hour? How would you recommend I go about this?
 
Taking only half a pill isn't likely to produce any effects at all. 10mg will be noticeable but likely underwhelming. Personally I would recommend going with 1 and a 1/2 for your first time, this would put you in a nice place. If you're scared of nausea you can start with a lower dose and redose accordingly after an hour or so if your not feeling what you'd like. However from my personal experience redosing is much less effective then taking an initially higher dose, so again I would recommend 15 mg for your first time to truly get the most out of it. The only problem is that that only leaves you with 5mg left afterwords which would be useless for further recreation. I'd rather have one quality experience then two disappointing ones though.

Would 20mg be too much? What about taking 15mg and after 45 minutes I take the remaining 5mg? Also, should I try and potentiate the hydro or would it probably become overwhelming?
 
Potentiation is definitely not necessary as you have no tolerance and things will likely be strong enough your first time. Depending on the person 20mg may not necessarily be "too much", but since this is your first time trying any opiate you don't know how you're going to react. 20 mg certainly won't put you in danger of overdose or anything, but it could potentially make you nauseas and ruin a positive experience. Keep in mind you can always add more, but you can't take it back once its in your system. I'd still say start with the 1 and a 1/2 and if you're disappointed after a period of time, take the rest.

imo it wouldn't, it will feel nice and just like it was said before, you won't be left with useless 5mg afterwards. i'd just take 20mg
 
i agree with ^... take both of them. thats often a prescribed dose anyways. (take 1-2 every 4-6 hours) or whatever... ya know? haha

take em both I say! and good luck :)

I should be getting them tomorrow during school. I will probably take the later that night. I'm planning on taking 1 and 1/2 pills so 15mg. Should I eat beore or after I take them and if I should, when? Also how bad is the itchyness? I'm worried it will ruin the high.
 
I would take one wait 45 mins to an hour, and then take the other one if your not where u wanna be.

I think this is for the 5mg pills though.
With that said I was probably being overly cautious in my earlier posts. If you do take both all at once just don't do it on a completely empty stomach (but don't do it on a full one either). My first opiate dose was 15mg oxycodone and I ended up getting horribly nauseas and vomiting. 20mg will definitely be a good, strong first experience as long as you don't experience similar troubles. My reasoning for taking the 15mg's first and then redosing was simply to see if his body reacted alright given it was his first time before putting all his eggs in one basket.
 
I always take hydros on empty stomach but I don't know if it actually makes a difference.

The itching probably won't ruin your high but it can get annoying.if your worried take a benadryl with the hydros it should help_
 
How much Benadryl would you recommend because doesn't that increase the sedative effect, making me more tired?
 
I would just take 1 25mg benadryl it doesn't effect me much but everyone is different.
 
Okay I got 3 10mg hydros today. I'll be taking 15mg tonight with this liquid kids Benadryl I have. I'm guessing it's weaker since it's for kids so I'll take 15mL which is 37.5 Diphenhydramine HCL (the Antihistamine). I'm planning to have a small meal 2-3 hours before. If I do get high, it'll be my first time getting high off on any drug. So unless anyone has any other recommendations, I guess I'm all set. I'll post how it goes. Also, will I still be able to function while high on this stuff and how obvious would it be to other people that I'm on something. Thanks I don't have anymore questions on the subject.
 
You should be able to function on that dose. I don't think anyone would notice unless they noticed your tiny pupils
 
Okay so I decided to take it. I took the Benedryl and then I took 2 10mg Hydrocodone pills. It's been a little over over 40 minutes and I don't feel anything! I have one more 10mg pill. How long should I wait to take another one if I still don't feel it? Btw it's 10/325 generic Norco or M367.
 
You should def feel 20mg your first time 30mg could make u sick since you have no tolerance or experience
 
I took another 5mg and it's been several hours and nothing. I feel a little nauseous and I'm really irritable right now. Also I think I'm hearing weirdly, like things sound different. I think, or maybe not. Although I'm not high, or at least, I don't feel high at all. No euphoria at all, in fact I'm in a bad mood. No warm feeling. Nothing good whatsoever. I don't understand. Same thing happened when I tried Adderall too. Nothing but bad side effects. It's like it's impossible for me to get a damn high and it's pissing me off.
 
Your reaction surprises me, to some extent, for you feel no warmth nor any euphoria, at all. But, I will say opiates are definitely an acquired taste, and bring forth a very powerful and lovely, but subtler type of high, on the whole. You are experiencing some typical opiate effects, however. You are feeling nausea, irritability (this is common, even right alongside euphoria), and you are having some phenomena with your hearing (this last effect I have heard of, particularly regarding hydrocodone, and while not common, not uncommon - I experience it sometimes with opiates). With opiates, this type of reaction isn't too uncommon for someone who has never taken an opiate before; in fact, some people do dislike opiates, on the whole, reporting subjectively undesirable feelings which are more prominent than any desirable feelings. Still, I am surprised - I would have thought a solid 20 mg hydrocodone for an opiate-naïve individual would have gotten you anywhere from pretty high to high as a kite. I, personally, recommend 15 mg hydrocodone for most opiate-naïve individuals looking for a nice opiate experience, neither too underwhelming nor too overwhelming. And, I usually tell them just to take that without any other drugs like anti-histamines such as Benadryl, unless they take other drugs regularly and are dependent on them. Benadryl is used by many opiate users, and by the many reports I have heard, can increase the enjoyment of the opiate experience, yet I think it is best that one feels an opiate as it is before throwing anything else into the mix. Still, I don't think the Benadryl soured it for you - your dose of Benadryl was fine; frankly, I think you are just one of those who does not enjoy the first experience he has with an opiate. Just be very, very careful with them; they are insidiously addictive drugs.
