hydrocodone tolerance question

[shitkickinbamf]

I thoroughly enjoy a hydro high. I used to pop two 10s, and I got pretty high. Then I started popping 3. Last night I popped 4, and it just made me tired as hell. I didn't get the strong buzz I usually get, I just sat on my bed on Twitter, nodding out.. I'm assuming my tolerance has started to rise, and I was wondering how many you would recommend to get that nice buzz again. I'm a 5'9", 155 lb male. Oh, I usually take them maybe twice a month, but I've taken them three times this past week. Any kind of feedback is appreciated.

When I first started with hydros, I would get feeling really good from half a 7.5 mg tablet. You're right about tolerance rising, it doesn't take long.

Big difference if you're taking any opiate to get high or just for pain.

At the beginning, when I took 5mgs of vicodin for pain, I was getting a really good high & the pain relief was awesome.

That lasted for a good 2 or 3 weeks.......then 5mgs was just good for pain relief.......then bumped to 10mgs & the high came back.

If you're taking hydrocodone just to get high, your tolerance will go up fast.

The 40mgs you took did get you high but you lost the euphoria you were getting before......opiates work in strange ways.

You can be very high & not have any euphoria what so ever......it seems people get caught up in chasing that euphoria, & when you get into the game of chasing the euphoria, its a very dangerous game you're playing.

There is nothing like the high/euphoria of the first couple times. Its near impossible to recapture, unless of course, you stop taking in your case hydros... For a handful of days. Tolerance is a bitch when it comes to recreational drug use. As said, just because it doesnt SEEM like you are high, doesnt mean you arent high... You should considdr maybe doing a CWE once your tolerance reaches maybe 40-60 mg. esp if you plan on taking it more than once... Which is likely.

tolerance goes up fast. Be VERY careful as most hydrocodone preparations contain Acetaminophen. as your tolerance builds, which it will you will end up destoying your liver unless you want to google how to do a Cold water extraction. im not sure if you have a prescription, but i would advise you to ask your doc for something that doesnt contain acetaminophen or NSAIDS.

Luckily, the FDA just put a new order into action concerning the dosage of Acetaminophen in both the Hydro, and Oxy preparations.

The new MAXIMUM tablet strength for *any* Vicodin, or Percocet strength is 325mg. (just like the good almighty yellow 10mg hydrocodones).

I was on hydrocodone for over twenty years. Started taking on weekends to get a buzz. Then started getting buying off the street for five dollars a piece. Between doctor prescribed lorcets and the street it became a habit fast. At the end I was drinking heavy on top of them to achieve a better high. When my wife finally told me she was gonna try to send me to a center to get clean I decided to stop on my own. I stopped cold turkey. The first three nights was pure hell, but it was worth it. The withdrawls proved to me how bad my body was dependent to daily use. The pills had taken control of me. I could not do certain things anymore without taking pills first. It's been 62 days since I stopped. My life is so much better. I still have slight cravings in the late afternoons, but so far I feel like I will finally learn again how to live again without them. Please know hydrocodone can take control of your life and make you a prisoner in your own body.

Thanks Tillyy: the drug still calls me each day around 5m. My demons will still tell me it's ok to take just today. I wonder if they will ever go away?

I've only done Hydro twice and the second time absolutely fell in love. If there was access to it here then I may or may not be an addict right now. I always battle in my mind if i should ever do it again when I go to the states for school. But I figure if I ever do opies again it will be morphine, hydro and kratom. Like on a strict occasional flick. like after a Psychedelic trip where I want my mind to unwind or a heavy rave or something. Never to just get high. But more of a tool like how I used Valium and have never had a problem with Valium. I self-prescribe myself pharms cuz i believe I can direct myself better than a doctor lol.
