I am planning on eating 80 mg of hydrocodone (IR) in a few days. I was wondering if this is a safe dose knowing that I can handle 50 mg of oxycodone with no problem. I've seen the charts and know that the effects of oxycodone are a lot stronger than the effects of hydrocodone mg-for-mg. But does this mean that the overdose potential mg-for-mg is less with hydrocodone than with oxycodone? In other words, is it safe to assume that weaker effects translate to less chance of overdose, or is there no connection between effects felt and overdose potential?

So far, the most hydrocodone I've ever done at once is 50 mg, but I figured that since oxy is so much stronger that upping the hydro to 80 is OK. Right?

od potential is the same but it takes more mg of the weaker ones to od on and 50mg is equiv to 75mg of oxy
 
wait, I think you got it mixed up. You mean 75mg of hydrocodone is roughly equivalent to 50mg of oxy right?
 
I wouldn't tell you to take that much at once. Hydrocodone is best enjoyed in the 30 to 40mg range if you don't have an insane tolerance. To me if it comes on too strong, it makes the experience less enjoyable. It is probably safe to take that much if you really want to.
 
Oxycodone is roughly x1.5 more potent than Hydrocodone and if you can handle 50mg of Oxycodone I don't think that you'd have to worry about an overdose from 80mg of Hydrocodone. I don't know if you'd find it all that enjoyable though. From my experience, unlike Oxycodone, high doses of Hydrocodone aren't enjoyable. I just experienced more of the side effects versus the euphoric effects.
 
i dont even feel my norcos anymore so thats why im putting myself in withdrawl for 6 more days so they start working again on my pain,i just took 6mg of amodiom ad, but if u r going to take that much hydro, R u going to do a CWE?
 
Question....i seem to loose too much product if i CWE my hydros.....so im wondering if by taking (5) 10-650 tablets, is that way too much APAP ? I realize its a pretty stout dose of APAP but im just wondering if that is far too much or is it borderline or what? any advice helps....thanx
 
Well let's see 5 x 650 = 3250

Now you shouldn't take more than 4000mg of APAP in a 24 hour peroid or I'm pretty sure it's tuff on your liver. Taking this everyday will probably result in consequences but once in a while should be fine. Some people are more sensitive to Tylenol than others so it may hurt your stomach or cause discomfort, everyones different.
 
fist off i think if your going to dose that high you should look into CWE aka cold water extracting . its much safer on your body. (liver) high doses of apap (tylenol) thats in the hydros can be hard on your liver. google it for more info.
 
I wouldnt be that worried about it assuming your tolerance for these is relatively high, I regularly take anywhere from 50mg to 100 mg of hydrocodone at a time. When I say regularly i mean daily. However I have a very high tolerance to these type of pills. It sounds like your tolerance is high enough, I would take it and have a great time!=D
 
^This is certainly as possibility.

As mentioned before, please watch that APAP consumption if you need to take 50-100mg a day and you're using Vicodin or a similar hydrocodone + APAP preparation.
 
yes it is true that exceeding 4000 mg of apap a day is dangerous and damaging to the liver, i should have mentioned that the hydros i take are 10/325 so actually i am only taking in 2600 mgs of apap. Anything close to or over 4000 mg of apap depending on the person can cause permanent liver damage and/or liver failure
 
This thread was started by the OP back in 2008. I'm sure he was already eaten the hydrocodone, and ate hundreds of other pills since then. =D

Oh wow, good point. I'm so used to people not using the search engine...well, I hope the OP didn't eat too much APAP either way %)
