Hey guys, I have a question for you. I normally take Morphine 30mg TID and Dilaudid 2mg PRN however, right now I am out of both until tomorrow. I ad a bottle of Vicoperf that I was given a few months back but never took any so I figured in absence of the other 2 I would take it. It is 7.5 hydrocodone and 200 ibuprofen, however, I chewed up 9 of these suckers an hour ago and NOTHING, no pain relief, no buzz, no sleepiness, no energy kick, I feel like I prolly took sugar pills, but since I got them from a reputable pharmacy I highly doubt they are anything but the real thing. It would seem as though since I take much higher doses of much more potent narcs that hydrocodone just wont do crap for me? Could this be what happening? or do they just take a long time to kickin? How long should it take for them to become effective? Thanks! Thank god Ill be going back to my normal meds tomorrow..
 
I would think you would be able to feel nearly 75mg of hydrocodone even with taking morphine and hydromorphone because you are taking low doses, perhaps you just do not feel adequate relief from a different opiate because you are used to your medication and the pain relieving properties of both of them. You mention taking much higher doses of potent opiates/opioids, but 30mg of morphine PO and 2mg of hydromorphone PO is not high at all, do you inject or snort the hydromorphone and inject the morphine? If that is the case, then no you would not feel that dose of hydrocodone.
 
9 Vicoprofen is a good dose of hyrocodone (67.5mg, equal to nearly 50mg oxycodone) and 1800mg ibuprofen. I'm sure you'll feel something shortly if not just an upset stomach from all that ibuprofen.
 
Nah, I have never injected anything, I figured that they (my regular meds)were more potent that's all, I agree that they are not "high" doses, but I figured that they were atleast higher potency. it's odd. Im not sure why I'm not feeling anything from these. Oh well. It was worth giving them a shot. Like I said, Im just glad that tomorrow Ill be back to my normal meds. Luckily for my I think my stomach is made of iron because even with all that ibuprofen, the only think that has happened is I no longer have the headache I had earlier lol Oh well live and learn, now I know never to ask for anything with hydrocodone again, Im over them lol Thanks for the responses guys.

PS its a good thing that it's very hard to OD on ibuprofen or I'd have issues, although having said that as a side note to anyone thinking of trying this DON'T!!!! Ibuprofen can cause severe abdominal issues and cause bleeding!!! It can also increase your risk of heart attack and/or stroke!! I do NOT recommend that anyone try this or actually do what I have done, unless you fully know what your doing and even with that I do NOT recommend it!!! You have been warned!!!!!!

I remember getting prescribed Vicuprofen 7.5/200 when I had my wisdom teeth extracted a few weeks ago. The pain went away fine with OTC ibuprofen and naproxen for the most part, (save for a few times when I was having some really bad pain), so I was saving them sort of for a "rainy day." Anyway, in the middle of the week, essentially, my boyfriend and I split the bottle. I started with 20 and I think when we decided to use them recreationally there was 16 left so we each took 8.

We regularly do percs, opana or heroin, so while we don't have an insanely high tolerance, we don't have a particularly low tolerance either. We took them with a small dose of ativan, naproxen and diphenydramine to potentiate and I have to say that we were feeling pretty good for quite a while. That's just my input on the matter. I'm sure even without the potentiators, we would have at least gotten a good buzz.
 
^ Yep! We each took 8, and I remember feeling really, really good... but I thought that we did a couple bags too? No?
 
Hey Bro If i were you i would give your system at least 12 hours to get rid of the ibuprofen , anything more than 1000 mg and you could get a build up in your system and that aint real good for some of your organs plus drink plenty of water. Of course thats a good idea for anyone that takes opoids...as far as the hydrocodone it,s about equal mg for mg with morphine just won't give you the buzz try equagesic calculator-google it. M.

Did you guys CWE? 1.6 grams of ibuprofen ( if you took 8 ) is a lot ESPECIALLY if combined with naproxen which is another NSAID! Also, just so you know, naproxen doesn't potentiate any drugs. For some reason this myth has spread pretty far. It can assist with pain relief and apparently some people got the idea that it might also increase the high, this was put in some FAQ online and the myth has spread.
 
For the record, naproxen will not and does not potentiate opioids.

Also, be sure to do a CWE (cold water extraction) when taking more than 2000mg of acetaminophen in one sitting. This is to prevent liver damage and potential liver failure from a dose that exceeds these amounts.
 
Yeah, it sounds to me like your tolerance is just too high, especially if you've been taking Morphine and Dilaudid for an extended period of time. Obviously they're both much stronger than hydrocodone.

That being said... dude. Be careful with the Vicodin. I already posted my story on here in another thread, so I won't go into it again and I'll just give you the gist of it. But when I was kicking Suboxone, I took five Vicodin. Okay? FIVE. I used to take upwards of 25 per day. I took five of the 5/500's to try to stave off the withdrawals. Did it work? Yeah. But after they wore off, I couldn't handle the withdrawals anymore and called my doctor- who suggested I go to the hospital, claiming they could help me with my withdrawals since it was the weekend, I believe, and he couldn't do anything about it just then. So I went to the hospital in the hopes that I was going to get some sort of relief from my withdrawals, and guess what happened instead? The nurse comes in an hour later telling me I might need a liver transplant, that my tylenol toxicity level was abnormally high, and I then ended up in the ICU. They refused to give me ANY meds at all, not even benzo's (which I badly needed), because they're metabolized through the liver or something. I had to drink like five cups of some nasty liquid that smelled and tasted like rotten eggs. So on top of dealing with the stress of the doctors telling me I could die, I was now also being forced to deal with full-blown withdrawals without any sort of help whatsoever. No benzo's, nothing.

It was horrible and easily one of the worst nights of my life, and this was only from 2500 mg of tylenol. Ibuprofen isn't as toxic as tylenol, but it CAN still cause damage to other organs (mainly the kidneys and stomach, I believe.) I'm just saying... be careful when it comes to hydrocodone with additives. No matter how bad your withdrawals are, it's not worth a possible trip to the ICU from an accidental overdose.

Is there any way you can stick it out until you get your meds tomorrow? I don't know how bad morphine + dilaudid withdrawals are, as I've never been through them... but one day should certainly be manageable. If anything, just take a benzo or two if you have them around... drink a lot of water... even Immodium helps. Whatever you decide though, best of luck to you. Look on the bright side dude, at least you know you're going to feel 100% better tomorrow, despite how crappy you feel right now. That should make it a bit more bearable, if nothing else... at least it's a little ray of hope. :)
