as im experiencing the buzz now i got to thinking.
what are the ill health effects of mixing uppers and downers? also known as speed balling?
im aware of the obvious but im referring to the mixing of the 2.

The only real risk is that your breathing becomes slowed from the opiate, and your heart beats faster because of the stimulant. Basicly this can cause problems because the improper ratio of oxygen concentration. You have a lot of blood moving WAY faster than it should, with way less oxygen than it should reaching the blood stream. However hydrocodone is a very mild opiate and I think the margins of risk for such a combonation are probably very low. But you asked so theres my answer.

thank you!
and vicoden is oxycodone not hydrocodone

Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Unless they drasticly changed the medication it is hydrocodone. Not oxycodone. Oxycodone is found in Percocets and Oxycontin, to name a couple.

I would hardly call taking methamphetamine and Vicodin (which is hydrocodone) a "speedball" .. it's fun, feels good, I recomend it!
