Hey guys I just found a botlle of 10 5/500mg generic vicodin i have no prior experiance with Vicodin or any other opiate.Im 6'0 280 lbs and was wondering how many i should take before i would start to feel any of the effects.My thanks to anyone that could help me
 
Start with half a pill and wait 30-45 minutes. If nothing, another half or more. That's what i did when I tried those. I was good at 2 pills. Not sure of the concentration, so sadly I can't really compare.

Don't usually deal with pills, but I usually use the half rule when I do.
 
It really is impossible for us to give you proper advice without really knowing your innate tolerance. I have a fairly high tolerance, and half a pill (as suggested above) would do nothing. But my wife has no tolerance and half a pill would knock her out.

So really, best bet is to start low and go from there. IMO half a pill is too low, that's 2.5 mg of hydrocodone, which is already a weaker opiate. I'd normally tell a friend to try 15mg as a starter. But again, I don't know you or your tolerance.

And this is a "found" bottle, so I doubt you'll be having future experiences with this stuff.

The real advice I'll give you is don't go over the apap 24hour ceiling of 4 grams, and don't go over the 2grams in one dose ceiling.

Be safe.
 
7.5mg is a good first time, testing dose. Which would be 1 and a 1/2 of your 5mg/500mg tablets. If you don't feel much go up slowly.

Do not use more than 8 tablets in 24 hours. As stated above, 4000mg is the daily limit for acetaminophen.
 
I think eating half of a 5mg hydrocodone pill is a little overkill in the safety dept. I would reccomend 2 or maybe even 3. Some people are lightweights and some aren't so there's no way to tell. But in any case I doubt that 2.5mg would register at all with you.
 
I agree with Keif. A half will not do anything, especially someone your size. I would take 2 and wait 45 minutes and see how you feel.
