Would it be better to take opiates, specifically Hydrocodone, on an empty stomach, or after a light snack? Also, I've heard Tums or Baking Soda can help.
 
tums/bakign soda helps with taking amphetamines orally, not hydrocodone.
empty stomach is best.
i find that opiates (well heroin, heroin is the only opiate i've ever used more than a handful of times) make me munch the FUCK out, so i'd go on an empty stomach.
 
I vote for empty stomach - just personal preference, I guess. It will hit you fairly quickly either way, but like I said personal preference. If you get nauseated, lie down - with opiate nausea that really is the best thing to do to get rid of it. As mentioned above, antacids (some) only have effect on amphetamines taken orally, not opiates.
 
I always puke after eating on opiates, whereas on an empty stomach I just feel a little nauseous so I always tend to avoid food and opiates.
 
if you are taking your opiates orally, then definitely eat them on an empty stomach.
 
Hmmm... I always find nicer to have a little thing in my stomach before indulging in opiates. Nothing fancy, but you don't want to be hungry on opiates imo. To each their own I guess.
 
empty stomach. also from what i hear if you eat a fatty meal about 45 mins after ingestion it makes the BA go up a little but dont quote me on that cuz im not exactly sure
 
opiates also give me the munchies pretty bad, i just get an insatiable appetite. I really didn't think opiates would do such a thing especially after being a big stoner for many years, it's just as bad.

I prefer to dose on empty stomach so it hits fast. Then eat a light snack or something greasy.
 
a fatty meal 20-40 minutes after eating certain (most) opiates/opioids increases BA.
 
Im not sure if its because of opiates or because 99% of the time I smoked weed on opiates but I could be a regular Man v Food when I was on them and im not a large person by any degree so Id say they make you hungry.
