Opioids freaking out on hydrocodone

Hey,

So this may be a silly post. It has been about a month since I've done any hydrocodone recreationally. I've taken a 5/500 for pain here and there (maybe 2 or 3 times, days apart).

Anyways I just got ahold of some 10/500's and I took two. So 20mg. Then I started freaking out because the highest I ever did before was 15mg. My anxiety is really bad.

From everything I read, I should be fine, but I guess I need to hear it from other people. If it's been 6 hours since I've done it and I feel fine, should I be okay? I hate to beat the dead horse with all this "will I be fine on x amount of hydrocodone" talk.

I'm going to stop with the hydros. My anxiety sucks. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I am 5'10", 186 lbs, and I don't know if I'm tolerant to opioids or not. I know I was taking 7.5, 10, and 15mg a while back pretty often (every other day maybe.. or at least 2 times a week) but I don't know if that tolerance goes down.

Thanks if you can be honest and/or help ease my mind. Scared to go to sleep when my anxiety kicks in :(
 
Thanks man. I know it, just trying to feel it. I know it's not even that large of an amount but after 6 hours I would know if I od'd or not, right?
 
You took them 6 hours ago...did they effect you, or you didn't feel a thing like they never got into your system? If they got into your system, you should be fine and you should almost be down from them.

Back in the 60's I took some reds at night hours before I went to bed. I figured I got burned because I never got off and went to bed. When I got up to go to school every thing was still fine, but then a few minutes later they hit me HARDER than any reds ever did and I was high all day long.

Oh yeah, I definitely felt them. I took one to start off with. An hour later took a half one to bump and another half one about 30 minutes later. The last one was at least 7 hours ago for sure, but probably 8 or 9. Feel pretty normal now. Calming down a bit from my anxiety attack. So theoretically most of the would-be harm that I was worried about is mostly over with? I know hydros have a half life of 4-6 hours.
 
Alright, I finally convinced myself I'm not going to die. Sorry for freaking out on you guys. I'm sure I'll regret these posts later.
 
Don't worry about it...it's better to ask!!! You got no smart ass comments, so I don't think anyone thought it was a mistake to ask either. If they did, well that's their problem and that's not what BL is about anyway.

I was kinda wondering if you were worrying because they didn't get into your system like the reds that time on me...then it could be an issue.

Talk about Hydrocodone and system, that's what I take for pain now. There are many times that I'll take 1-2 and not feel them for 1 1/2 hours or so. Then I may take another one, which would be 30mg total, and not feel any of it. Then 1/2 an hour or so they all kick in. Other times I start to feel them within 15-30 minutes.

Yeah buddy, you're good. 6 hours is about the time hydros wear off. Plus for your size 20mg should be tolerable.

Hope this helps
