a bunch of questions about vicodin?

[TheBeatles]

ok so i'm usually a really anxious guy, have a lot of stress, and am depressed a lot of the time. i heard about heroin and its effects recently, and couldn't wait to try it, but was recommended not to since i haven't ever done any opiates before, and i should start off with something like vicodin. ok so here are my questions...

1. should i do vicodin or some other opiate?
2. i dont plan on doing vicodin all the time, just like once every 2-3 days, so will this be too harmful?
3. does vicodin cause hair loss?
4. <no sourcing>
5. what dose should i take, is taking one every 2-3 days way too less?

and any other info on vicodin is welcome, thanks

let me explain this first incase you are unaware

Hydrocodone is the ingredient in Vicodin that gets you high. Either 5,7.5, or 10 mg of hydrocodone in each pill. (make sure you know how much before you buy them) The other ingredient in Vicodin is acetaminophen (Tylenol) and there's usually 325 mg of acetaminophen per pill.

1. should i do vicodin or some other opiate?

Vicodin is a great opiate to start out with, but if you cant find it there are other options. i would recommend 20 mgs if it's your 1st time. (most people will say that's to much for a first timer but trust me its not) i did 20 my first time and it was amazing. (16 yo 5'11 160lb)

2. i dont plan on doing vicodin all the time, just like once every 2-3 days, so will this be too harmful?

if you do vike every 2-3 days you tolerance will grow quickly. so in a couple weeks it might take you 30mg to get high instead of 20mg. and you tolerance will just keep growing and growing.

another problem with every 2-3 day use is youll say ill only use every 2-3 days now but before you know it youll be using daily and physically addicted to the drug.

and if you use often or use large doses i would recommend you CWE ( cold water extract ) the acetaminophen out. not going to explain how but theres threads on here on how to do it along with countless other sites.

you want the acetaminophen out because regular use or takeing to much at a time ( dont go over 2g ) can cause perminet damage to your liver.

but the hydrocone its self is pretty safe.

3. does vicodin cause hair loss?

no

5. what dose should i take, is taking one every 2-3 days way too less?

i doubt taking 1 would do anything to you. ( youll get a buzz if its a 10mg )

any other questions feel free to ask

Hey OP,

Hydrocodone is a good opiate to start out with but at low doses there is no real difference between codeine, DHC, hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine, so whatever you get your hands on is fine. There is nothing physically harmful about occasionally taking opiates but the tolerance will build up and addiction is quite common. Remember nobody has ever tried to get addicted to opiates nor thought that it would ever happen to them, but a lot of people have become addicted.

There is a thread in BDD called Beginner's Dosage Guide that you should check out and since this is basically a dosage question with a few other basic ones thrown in I will send it to Basic Drug Discussion for you.

p.s. as was mentioned if the medication you end up getting contains acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin, or any other active ingredients besides the narcotics, you may need to do a CWE. Cold Water Extraction Mega Thread & FAQ v2.0

so does vicodin just get you high, or will it also work for anxiety and stress etc?

 

[amapola]

Oxycodone is a mu-opioid receptor agonist.

From wikipedia...source

Activation of the μ receptor by an agonist such as morphine causes analgesia, sedation, slightly reduced blood pressure, itching, nausea, euphoria, decreased respiration, miosis (constricted pupils) and decreased bowel motility often leading to constipation. Some of these side effects, such as sedation, euphoria and decreased respiration, tend to lessen with continued use as tolerance develops. Analgesia, miosis and reduced bowel motility tend to persist; little tolerance develops to these effects.

Opioids are not used by the medical community for treating anxiety, depression or stress because of tolerance, addiction, and other side effects. Yes you feel better on opioids but you are also going to be high. If you are always anxious and stressed you should see a therapist who can help you deal with your problems in many other ways including proper medication. If you are using opiates to self medicate mental pain your risk of addiction is going to be greatly increased.

 

[TheBeatles]

but it will work though, right?

 

[amapola]

^Yes. You will feel euphoric, sedated, with a sloppy grin plastered across your face, and like a warm hug from someone you love is enveloping your whole body telling you everything in the world is going to be okay.

Vicodin works great for anxiety & stress. Doctors use to prescribe it for depression back in the 50's but they stopped it because of addiction. I suppose they rather have you get drunk & then drive & kill someone instead of taking Vicodin & getting addicted.

Many people self medicate themselves with Vicodin for depression & few do it successfully but it can be done. If SSRI's havent worked for you, then this would be another way to go but doctors will not prescribe it nowadays for depression, anxiety or stress.

I do not at all agree with Im soo high. I only took Vicodin once and am not experienced with opiates, but the one time my in-experienced self did it, I took 20 mg. 2 10 mg Vicodin. My boy told me he had 10V's and I thought he meant 10 mg Valiums as that is what I usually get from him, or benzos in general. He came to my crib and they were these huge pills. I was like "these aren't val's" and he told me he meant Vicodin. I was craving to get some kinda high so I just grabbed two to try. I was told that Ill need both to feel anything. My stupid self did no research and did not know about this website at the time. I took one, and a half hour later took the other. They both kicked in the same time and I was flying. It was enjoyable for about a half an hour to an hour. I'm pretty sure I was smoking bud as I almost always am but I don't think this affected the unique Vic high. I started nodding out and every time I realized I was, I would wake myself up in a panic and get incredible heart palpitations. This turned me off of opiates completely and I still do not have an interest in them. I do believe that if I just took one, MAYBEEE one and a half (10-15 mg), I would have felt it more than enough. If you read other posts on here, most people would agree that 20 mg is way to high of a beginners dose. I also do believe that if I did take it easier the first time, I wouldn't be turned off to opiates.
