My doc prescribed me Hydrocodone BT for my cough. Earlier today I took approximately 20mg of the said medicine. I felt great then slipped into one of the most interesting dreams that i have ever had. How long will it take for my tolerance to return to 0 so I can repeat the experience?

It would help if you would include how much you have been taking it, and for how long. From my own experience, opiate tolerances take a while to return to normal. I have been taking hydrocodone and oxycodone for over a year now on a regular basis. A while back I decided I needed to take a break from using opiates for a while, and it ended up being about a two and a half month break. When I finally decided to take some more vicodins, my tolerance was definatly lower but nowhere close to normal.
I doubt your tolerance is as high as mine, so you could probably take a 2 - 3 week break and have a normal tolerance again as long as you haven't been taking alot for a long time.
 
This was my first time using this script, I just got it this morning. I was thinking maybe a week. I have a refil that is good until january 2002 so I will have plenty.

if you haven't been using opiates before or in a long time and don't have much of a tolerance -- and it sounds like you haven't/don't cause 20mg of hydrocodone gave you so much pleasure-- than you can do the same thing again tomorrow if you want. i mean if it worked like it did this time than your tolerance is way below that level. one time doesn't raise your tolerance like crazy. but taking them like that daily, will build up a tolerance a lot faster than if "you wait a week."
i'm assuming you took 4 pills of vicodin, just be carefull with how much you take, especially because vicodin has APAP in it (the liver killa). you can get sick, have to go to the hopital and explain what happend ("abused a painkiller"), if it's not too bad they'll fix you up, but it'll go into your medical record forever.... have a good time after that trying to get pain killers from any doctor, they won't be liberal with them.... and your friends will laugh when you tell them that you were in the hospital essentially because of tylenol poisining...
-each person is different but in general your liver really can't/shouldn't handle more than 4grams of APAP MAXIMUM in 24 hours... a lot of people get sick taking a lot less.
 
The stuff I took was a syrup it has a small dose of a decongestant and antihistamine. It does not have any tylonol like vicodin pills. Is APAP acitaminophen? Anyway i just took some more (couldn't resist) so I will be signing off now.

ya, APAP is acitamiaphin.
see, and you thought you could wait a week inbetween. it's pretty hard to resist when you know they're there. hope you had fun!
