I am new here so excuse me if I placed this in the wrong section. Hi to all though. I take 5/500 hydrocodones for pain usually and I don't even feel them. So I want to actually feel red good one time! I weigh about 175 and am about 5'6. I tried taking a whole 4 last night and didn't feel anything. My tolerance is pretty high I guess since I've been taking them pretty darn often. Should I try and take 5 or 6 tonight? I don't want to go through the cold water extraction as much as I'd like to avoid the acetinminophene. Also, do you feel them more whine you crunch them up or just swallow them whole? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
 
Taking 6 would be 3000mg of acetaminophen (appreciate the spelling attempt at that btw "acetinminophene") which wouldn't be that bad if you didn't do it again (maximum daily dosage is 4000mg) but otherwise CWE is worth the work to avoid any liver damage.
Crushing them shouldn't make that much of a difference.
 
Great advice here. The APAP will kill you and slush your liver way before the hydrocodone will.
 
I took 1 at about 930 and 1 at about 130 ill be taking the rest at 930-1000 tonight. Would it be safe to take 5 or 6? Honestly, when I took 4 I didn't feel a thing and I had taken 2 1/2 about 4 hours before. Should I just go ahead and take all 6? Or would 5 do me well, make me feel it pretty well? I appreciate it guys! Oh and sorry about the spelling, not sure what happened there LOL.
 
4g (4,000mg) of acetominophen is the max recommended dosage/day, tho I know of several individuals who have GREATLY exceeded that and lived to tell about it (no idea what their livers look like tho). I know of one guy who ate his entire 90 pill 5/500 (45,000mg of tylenol) script over a weekend and was drinking alcohol too, but I certainly wouldnt advocate that as anywhere near the ballpark of safe. and color me stupid, but I fail to see how anyone who can use a keyboard cant do a CWE... well, yeah I can, I hope you dont have any really debilitating illness, but if you want to be safe, either stay under 8 5/500s a day, or get a friend to do a CWE.
 
No, sorry I'm not physically able to do that. Thanks though. I'm just asking if it will be ok.

if you want to be really high off 5mg hydrocodone pills you should really do a cold water extraction

are you a quadriplegic? how are you not physically able to do that?

because if you were I'd think you would be on something a tad stronger than 5 mgs of hydrocodone
 
Why can't you do it?

Anyway, I advise you research Paracetamol Toxicity.. Then make your own distinction as to whether you'll be okay..

He could have MS or something... able to use a laptop but not much else. My gf's brother has it, he could no more do a CWE than send a man to Mars. Maybe the OP is in a place where doing a CWE isnt possible, like a nursing home or something. Lots of reasons one cant do it, none of them are pretty. Now, if it's out of laziness, then that's a diff matter, but there are lots of reasons one couldnt do a CWE.
 
I really wanna know why he can't do it too.

"are you a quadriplegic?" haha

In other news, why isn't there a hydro only formulation yet?

Norcos are about as close to hydro only (10/325) as you can get. No idea why hydrocodone isnt available as non-compounded drug, when much stronger drugs like morphine, hydromorphone, etc are out there. People around here think they are gold or something for the prices they want. I dont even mess with them because, tylenol toxicity aside, they arent worth a fuck imo.
 
One thing I always hated was how quick tolerance would hit with hydrocodones....TAKE A BREAK seriously 2 days then take 6 ull feel it trust me

It is available just not in commercial form. Pure hydrocodone is Schedule II in the USA, at least it is right now.... and I know a couple people who get special 80mg hydrocodone's compounded in some of the tiniest damned capsule's I've ever seen.

Also, I know it's not much better, but they DO commercially produce hydrocodone/APAP with a maximum of 300mg APAP per tablet, They just reformulated Vicodin so in a couple years, these 5/500s will hopefully be a thing of the past....Vicodin now makes 5/300mg, 7.5/300mg, and 10/300mg hydrocodone/APAP.

If you really care so much about the APAP and if you're so physically or mentally challenged that you can't or won't perform a cold water extraction, you shouldn't take big doses of compounded opioids, let alone via the oral ROA... APAP is MUCH LESS absorbed rectally.....

The 5/500's are just ridiculous to me. It's this huge mammoth of a pill all for a measly 5mg's of active ingredient.. So pointless.
 
Seriously. But hey man, it's the #1 most prescribed drug in the USA year after year after year after year. I wonder why? Is there a monopoly in the hydrocodone industry like there is in oxycodone and oxymorphone? Without going into specific price discussion, I probably could get an entire script of hydro/APAP for the price of #1 pill of brand name Opana ER or OxyContin.

It's too bad the FDA keeps cockblocking oxycodone and oxymorphone and other media-stigmatized drugs from a truely competitive capitalist market just like everyone else. But the FDA (And USDA, EPA, etc) is corrupt like a fuckin fourty dollar bill. As long as the money ends up in the right bank accounts at the end of the day, the shareholders are happy.
 
You should do a CWE if taking 8 or more. Be kind to your liver.

Hydrocodone never did much for me, but I think most opiate naive people would start around 25-35mgs.
I wouldnt say that, I fucked my leg up a few years ago and prior to that I had tried heroin and oxycodone but never had a habit of either and had been months since I'd done either and the first few vicodins I took hit me very nicely I think they were 7.5s but quickly 2 or two 1/2of them were needed.
