Hi, i was looking through some old medicine and found a Lorcet 10/650. The ingrediants say Hydrocodone *Bitartrate 10mg APAP 650mg, BUT, the experation date says 2/96. Has it expired b/c i heard opiates dont expire, plus its been in a drawer 4 like 5-6 years, thanks
 
all right !!! thanks, but can someone tell me what bitartrate is, ive never heard of this & also i got 2 30mg T3's (i know they suck) but i am an opiate virgin & if i took one and drank a few bears & smoke some nice budz would i feel the codien, thanks
 
No, I wouldn't recommend combining them. Just eat all your opiates. They're the greatest drugs on Earth.
 
thanks, but can someone tell me what bitartrate is It's not just "bitartrate", it's "hydrocodone bitartrate". It's the salt form of hydrocodone that's in there.
also i got 2 30mg T3's (i know they suck) but i am an opiate virgin & if i took one and drank a few bears & smoke some nice budz would i feel the codienEven if you take both, not by themselves. 60 mg of codeine is enough for some pain relief but you probably won't get more than the slightest feeling of drowsiness, even though you are a "virgin". The alcohol and marijuana would just override whatever slight buzz you might have gotten anyway. IME a little alcohol can be ok with not-quite-enough-hydrocodone to get a stronger buzz, but that's about it.
I would just eat all three pills together (sounds like you found only one Lorcet?) - that'd be 10 mg hydrocodone and 60 mg codeine, and together you might get a rather mild but perhaps enjoyable buzz. If the "codeine is 6 times less potent" formula is true, then that would be sort of like taking 20 mg hydrocodone. And even when I first started experimenting with painkillers, 20 mg was like the minimum I needed to get a mild buzz. You might try a little alcohol with it, but mind that's not happy for your liver to combine APAP and alcohol.

I disagree, you'll feel 60mgs codeine if you smoke and drink. If only psychosomaticly, you'll feel that shit dude. Yay, placebo. Get some heroin.
 
I have to slightly disagree. While opiates may not go totally bad if they lay around for several years they begin to lose a little bit of there potiency...
 
NO! For like the buillionth time, opioids as well as most every othyer pharmacutical don't go bad, shit, many drugs could be left for hundreds of years, picked up and used with as much potency as the day the were made .. espiration dates are an FDA regulation, they don't actually mean the drugs "go bad" after that date..
This has been discussed many times before..
