Opiate addiction

[Alexismynams]

I tried my first opiad as 15 mg of vicodin about two weeks ago and ever since I've drained the bottle I found taking two each time and then three a couple times. I didn't think I'd have a problem with addiction because I won't have access to it but I just found a almost full bottle of hydrocodone and am wondering how spread out I should take it so I don't depend on it or develop a tolerance. Btw I'm a female 5'8 135 lbs and have only smoked weed in the past and tried opiads and stimulants(focalin) and Dxm very recently

Stop stealing pills from your parents' medicine cabinet.

Also stop while you're ahead, because you're acting stupid and reckless.

You shouldn't take very many at one time right off the bat. You have no tolerance to them, and unlike other opiates that are cut and low quality the ones like Vicodin and oxycodone are made in labs and are always the same strength which is strong. They are also dangerous because they are so enjoyable that your mind thinks I can take another one, when in reality you are at your limit and should wait until they wear off so you don't od!

I would stick with 15-20 mg Vicodin no more than once a week. As long as you can be disciplined about your usage and keep it to that level I wouldn't really worry about becoming dependent. The problem with most people is that 20 mg turns into 30 mg which turns into 50 mg and then it becomes every day. It's a very slippery slope.

Dreaming breathing and remembering are the different times

If you're not taking them for pain and they're not prescribed to you (even if they are)... stop now while you can. Read these forums about addiction and withdrawal and cyclical use of opiates. You're lucky to have only a few weeks in on this... if you wait, it'll be years.. the pain of withdrawal is horrible and time consuming. Basically.. please don't.

Taking a minimal dose of any opiate, enough for desirable effects anyways, taking for any more than 10 days, expect withdrawal symptoms.
Taking more than 2 weeks, expect dependence, I.E you won't be able to sleep without 'em.
Dose slowly for a week and and take a few days off for a break.

And I agree with the previous replies, don't be stupid. Don't fuck with opiates. ESPECIALLY when they're not yours, nor not needed for pain.
Just don't be irresponsible.

It's alright I stopped using opiates I've moved to gabapentin which I know is used during opiate withdrawal but this drug is amazing it feels like an opiate and gives mild hallucinations like shapes distorting but the vivid dreaming is great and the sleep and their is absolutely no hangover. Also it's not addicting and I am doing it recreationally

I also have about five pills left 5mg Hydros and I was gonna save those for nights when my back pain is really bad but I would only take one and I dont think that would be a problem

"I don't think that would be a problem".... famous last words. Tread lightly.....

I hate to toss around the word addictive but gabapentin has some dependency issues and withdrawal symptoms that you should definitely watch out for. This is true when misused in high dosages for extended periods of time.

This this this.
Gabapentin WD is no fun. RLS, insomnia, tics, teeth clenching, and other fun stuff

I made the mistake of using gabapentin for a good duration of benzo withdrawal and when I quit I experienced the worst restlessness and anxiety, far worse than the acutes I was taking it for, along with this terrible sensation as if my skin was on fire... be very careful with this one. Kinda scares me how many people are fooled into thinking gabapentin has no dependency issues, same goes for tramadol which is touted by doctors as a "non-addictive, non-narcotic analgesic".
