must you use opiates daily to acquire tolerance?

I was wondering how to space out my opiate (hydrocodone) use so as not to build too much of a tolerance. I am 5'6, 150 lbs. I usually take b/w 20-30 mg of hydro, not for pain management purposes.

If I were to take hydro at these doses 2-3x/week, would I build a substantial tolerance and how quickly. If it matters, the entire dose is taken at once, not spaced throughout the day.
 
these "tolerance" questions are hard to answer..everyone is different, and each builds a tolerance at different rates..i for one, tend to build a tolerance rather slowly as compared to most other OPIATE users...i am taking pretty much the SAME dose to get fucked up off of OXY as i was when i first started..i have been taking OXY for 3-4 months STRAIGHT,EVERDAY and havent built much of a tolerance...to answer your question, u would probably build a slight tolerance to VIC's if you use them 2-3 times a week...after awhile(month),u won't get that ULTRA HIGH u used to, but you will still get high nonetheless...just don't start raising your dosage too steeply, as i see that happening to many people, and they always end up taking huge amounts later on just to get little high..
 
You will build a tolerance, but MUCH more slowly than if you were to take it every day. If you can manage to take it only twice a week, try to have three days between doses, and you probably won't experience any tolerance build-up for several months, in my opinion. You have the right idea on this - you'll get more bang for your buck, and you won't be ingesting as much APAP on a long term basis. Don't let the vicoden control you! And remember, drugs are our friends.
 
3 grams of APAP on a fairly regular basis is not irrelevant. Your liver must work harder, and over years, it can't be all that good for it - not to mention the affect on your stomach. I didn't say it's going to kill you, but it's something to think about.
