Is vicodin worth bothering to get?

I'm going to be having some surgery on the 25th of May. When I was having the last consultation with the doctor, she said "Do you want me to write the vicodin prescription now, or do it then?" I refused at the time and said we'd see on the day of the surgery. If I know myself and my need of painkillers, I won't actually need the stuff at all (the last time I was prescribed vicodin for pain after surgery, I took like one pill the day of, and that was it). I have absolutely no experience with recreational use of opiates of any kind. Would it be worth having her write the script and paying for the stuff, just for the curiosity factor about opiates, or should I not bother?

OF COURSE YOU WANT YOUR LEGIT NARCOTICS, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT NEED THEM, THEY ARE LEGITAMATE...THINK ABOUT IT!!
Anyway, a script of 16 generic Vicodin will cost you less the $7 in the pharmacy, and they are well worth it. Try 15-20mg for a recreational dosage.
 
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!! DOUBTING THE PURCHASE OF NARCOTICS?????? GET EM , EAT EM, and HAVE FUN!!!!! THEY ARE DEF WORTH IT.......... AND EARLY SCRIPT, EAT EM, the AFTER SURGERY SAY THEY DID NOT WORK AND ASK FOR SOMETHIN STRONGER LIKE OXY!!!! -=)
 
Yes Get them. 15-20mg will make you feel very nice.
Even if you don't want them, you can definitley sell them.

you most definatly want to get the vicodin.
once you start to gain some opiate experience, you'll grow to love them I'm sure. Starting Legit is the best too.

I'd say start 20 mg your first time, then once you're used to it, step up to 30.
And learn how to do the cold water extraction when using it recreationally. It's a godsend.

Yeowch, sheesh, ok, ok. Try decaf, PhillyClubKid... I said I had no experience of any kind with this. Just wondered if vicodin was a good way or a silly way to try it for the first time.
In any case, the question of getting them beforehand is moot - I refused at the time, won't be next seeing her until the date of the surgery, and am not inclined to call up now, three weeks later, and say "oh by the way, um, I changed my mind, could you write me the script now?"
Thanks for the input, ppl...re the cold water method, yup, was planning to do that anyway if I decided to go with this.. I may be experience-ignorant, but I do read

Don't listen to these losers. Vicodin suck. If you do decide to fill the scrip though you could always mail it to me. I'll uh... dispose of it.
 
Actually, the fact that you refused the prescription ahead of time will work to your advantage in the end!
Now that she *knows* you're not the kind of evil person who abuses drugs (if you were, you would've accepted the script immediatley), you're at an advantage!
Now when you call her the day after the surgery, telling her how "the pills hurt, but I have to take 2 of them every 4 hours...I feel uncomfortable taking this many pills", she'll gladly bump your script up to the next MG range, or perhaps even to Oxycodone!
Play your cards right and you stand to come out of this deal quite well.
Since you don't have experience with opiates, you may not WANT anything stronger, and that's fine...However, again, since she knows you're no drug addict, when your pills run OUT, she'll be more inclined to give you a refill, than she would for someone like...Oh...ME!

At first you would read this and think "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph in a Hollywood Whore House, this person must be expelled from Otehr Drugs at break-neck speed" ..
I am reminded of a commercial I saw for some paper company - this kid wants to make chocolate milk, but when he goes to pour out the chocolate, there is only a drop in the can.. so he THINKS OUTSIDE THE BOX and pours the milk in the chocolate can, shakes it, and gets his chocolate milk...
SpeedLimit is THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX.. yeah, at first it seems like the only logical thing to do is take that script - but by turning it down, you have now shown the doctor that you don't care about getting high.. it's medication, so you have no need for it at this point...
The pins are setup, go get yer surgery, then cry like a little girl - remember, you don't abuse drugs, so he should give them to you.. if he is the type of doc to offer you meds pre-procedure, he is probably semi-loose with his prescribing as well - most docs don't pre-script .. hell, my monthly scripts are post dated and can be filled exactly 1 day early ...

Reasonably unlikely on refills or getting her to prescribe something stronger. The operation I'm having is a tubal ligation. The vicodin is for the referred shoulder pain (a side effect of the fact that they bloat you with CO2 to perform the surgery) that sometimes happens with this procedure, which virtually never lasts more than a week (so I understand) and is generally not that severe.
It's no big deal, though; I was never planning to try to milk this for all it's worth, just was wondering if what I was going to get was worth an experiment, or if I should just save my money, and apparently the answer is "of course you should try it, you idiot".

I don't think I'm the type who'll like opiates - I generally prefer being "in it" and stimulated, to being "out of it" and spacey or relaxed - but then I suppose those are famous last words...
again, thx for the replies...

stardragon, what PhreeX and SL55 said are right. To answer your question as simply as possible, yes, get a prescription for Vicodin. You can simply try them once or twice and if you don't like them, give them to a friend who does. That person will be super greatful and then you can scratch one more thing off of your "to do" list, right? :-)
 
wow....the thought of someone refusing a totally legitimate prescription for narcotics just boggles the mind....jeez....
 
ACTUALLY, Stardragon, there's no telling how your body will react. I prefer uppers myself, love to be "in it and stimulated" as opposed to "out there, spacey and relaxed"... and vicoden is one of my fave meds. My dad's a DR. so I've been taking scrip on/off for years... and it reacts in me as such an upper. I get wired with boundless energy and feel great! Really really talkative too... So you may like it after all! Are you getting ES or regular?
**Another favorite is Darvon Comp, prescribed for my "excruciating PMS symptoms"...
 
What do you mean by "ES" vs "regular"? Are you talking about mg dosage ("extra strength" is my guess there)? I have no idea at the moment. I'll just have to read the label

I only weigh 125 lbs, so I'm not likely to get a heavy per-pill dosage.

u'll prolly get like 30 regular vicodin i'm guessing, complain that they don't work and u'll prolly get like ES's(7.5mg) or more regular vicodins and they will tell u to take 2 at once, i doubt they'll give u percs or HP's(10mg)
 
I couldn't find the cold water extraction anywhere in the last 20 pages of OD.. maybe it's under a non-obvious subject line?
In any case, there's an extraction in the codeine stuff on erowid:
http://www.erowid.org/pharms/codeine/codeine_faq.shtml (a little over halfway down the page)
Is that the same thing as has been posted here, or should that be modified in any way?

I wish I were a girl, because then I could have these random procedures done to cop narcotics when I am fiending really bad... it's like, I could have a vasectomy but they don't hook you up that great..
Damn chicks.. yeah, might as well take the script..

As it turned out all she prescribed me were hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5/500. I've actually had to take them for the pain, surprisingly enough, but I've done it by crushing several and water-extracting them, rather than simply swallowing the pills.
So, twice I've had 15 mg (or less, I guess, since I'm probably imperfect at the extraction proces), mainly just to get a feel for the stuff. It has noticeable effect, but not strong. I feel vaguely fuzzy annd drowsy and not inclined to do much about anything - not that I "don't care," but that there just isn't caring to be done (did that make sense?). I randomly itch a bit in various places.
I'd forgotten, though, what a CNS depressant codeine is for me; the last time I had it was when I had codeine syrup in the eighth grade (um.. ten years ago) for a non-productive cough that just would't stop. It flat knocked me unconscious from a single dose. Now, this depressant quality's fine right now, when I took it about an hour after waking up. But the night before last, when I took it when I was already sleepy, it produced a very slow heart rate and breathing, and I was afraid to go to sleep for fear I might not wake up. I "knew" that wasn't going to happen, not on 15 mg (actually 20, since I'd swallowed a pill the normal way about half an hour before taking three more via extraction), but I was still afraid of it.
All in all, this is okay, but I'm not sure I like it enough to investigate higher doses.
