Hello All!
I'm somewhat new to this site, and I noticed this Thread on Cold Water Extraction. (Through my ongoing chemistry work, I'm familiar with CWE.)
I'm not sure if I'll actually try CWE with Hydrocodone, but every now and then I wouldn't mind having a little "extra relief" from the rigors of everyday life, without taking additional Klonopin than prescribed, or by drinking (I get NASTY hangovers! "Everybody's different! And I'd rather not drink while on the Klonopin.)
A few years ago I sustained a Lower Back Injury while working. I've been diagnosed a having "Neuropathic Nerve Damage" by my Orthopedic Surgeon, and subsequently have "Neuropathic Nerve Pain". My OS started prescribing regular monthly supplies of Hydrocodone, 5/325's, 1 tablet to be taken 2 Times A Day, As Needed, For Severe Pain. So we're talking 60, 5/325 tablets, of Hydrocodone, each month.
In the past, it hasn't been terribly unusual for me to take 2 tablets at once, even if the pain wasn't really that bad. I did notice a small amount of euphoria, when I took 2 tablets at once, but it really was only a "very slight euphoria".
I'm aware of Hydrocodone containing Acetaminophen, and the strain it can put on one's liver. I'm also aware the "New And Improved" FDA Maximum Daily Dosage of Acetaminophen has been lowered to 3,000mg's.
In theory, even if I decided to take 5, 5/325 tablets at once, I'd still be well under the maximum DAILY recommended dosage of Acetaminophen. BUT, doing very basic math, 1,625mg's of Acetaminophen at once might be a "shock" for my liver to metabolize.
Although this isn't the type of thing I'd be doing on a "Regular Basis", the big question would be:
Is it even worth my thinking about CWE taking this small, by comparison, amount of Hydrocodone? And would, say, 1,625mg's of Acetaminophen taken at once in fact be a dangerous amount to hit my liver at once? (It certainly sounds like it would, and I would never take that amount of Acetaminophen at once!)
Thanks.
