Hydrocodone float trip
I was recently dealing with a dental abcess. I had a prescription for Vicodin. When I filled it it came back as a generic 7.5/750 mg. hydrocodone/APAP 12 tablets. The pain from the abcess was extreme and mind absorbing. I took a loading dose of 1500 mg. (2 tabs) plus 800mg. ibuprofen orally.
Within 35 minutes I had a real sense of distance from the pain. I could still feel it but it was less intolerable. I guess I am kind of a hardhead due to a long time affinity for smoked opium and alcohol in my youth. However, I really wanted to stop the pain altogether and due to the fact I was sitting on a good supply of 5/500mg. hydrocodone/APAP tabs from an earlier surgery I felt I could experiment.
45 minutes after 1500 mg. loading dose I took another 5/500 mg. hydrocodone/APAP tablet and propped myself up on the couch to try and watch a favorite movie on DVD with surround sound. 30 minutes later I had feelings of body detachment and the classic "set of eyeball on the pillow" feeling. I was aware of the movie and the sound but I can remember the sensation of body sensation leaving. My wife is a healthcare professional and a good sitter and I remember telling her about the dosage and telling to watch me for problems and switch the movie when it was over. The entire time I was conscious and warm/fuzzy.
2 hours later I felt a stabbing pain in my upper jaw and the familar pounding was coming back. I could hardly believe it was poking thru 20 mg.'s of hydrocodone even after 2 hours. I quickly tried to calculate the time remaining until Monday morning and the dentist office and tabs remaining but the synthetic poppy was clouding that endevor.
I decided to start alternating 800 mg doses of Tylenol and ibuprofen every two hours. I got up and went to the kitchen. It was quite an experience, like walking thru fog that pulled at my feet and legs. I got a drink and took another 7.5/750 mg hydrocodone/APAP tab.
I later realized that even though the pain had come back there was still quite a bit of hydrocodone in my system. The 7.5/750mg tab put me back on the couch with extreme feelings of floating, well being, zero pain and warm fuzzies.
It is easy to see why opiates have such a high potential for addiction and abuse.
Nice time except for the root canal and the dental bill.
