Hey guys, just got prescribed Hydrocodone. How do I maximize my utility from this prescription, taking into account a potential to build up tolerance? I want to enjoy this as much as I can :D ;)
 
Eh. Dont grapefruit. Theres nothing really that will help you extend your relief from your meds besides fatty foods. Thats the safest.
 
thnx 4 the respones

plugging is out of the question though. currently I've been sticking to one 7.5mg every 8 hours, hitting a bowl (or 2) 30 minutes after each ingestion, and I've been chilling hard. Only problem is that unlike the first time I've tried this when I was younger, it wears off alot faster. I think for right now i do have to take one every day because I still have pain from surgery, I'm trying to get one refill so I'll have a large amount left. After healing, once a week. That good?
 
to maximize utility for my opiates--I mainly stick to oxycodone and hydrocodone when oxycodone isn't around--i ingest 600-800mgs of tagamet 45mins-1hr before i take my dose. i also take an anti-histamine(usually promethazine) 45mins-1hr before. in addition, i smoke weed throughout the experience and i usually combine my opiates with benzos, but if you don't have a tolerance than don't even try to mix substances. be safe, and have fun!
 
Would benadryl work as an anti-histamine?

I don't do these pills alot, in fact, only when I have a friend who shares with me after getting a prescription (so usually on 2-4 occasions per year), so every time I do it I get the "chilling hard" feeling - you probably know what I'm talking about, where you're 100 percent completely relaxed, serene, and have that nice butterfly feeling in your stomach.

When I got my script I took my first one at 11:00AM (7.5mg), got that feeling around 12. After it started to wear off and the pain came back, waited a couple hours and took one at 5PM, and the only thing I got out of it that time was a slight dulling to the pain I had, nothing more.

I'm going to be in a good deal of pain tomorrow, but I feel even after my second pill my tolerance is already really high. Thats probably the only reason why I don't do these more, my tolerance builds way too fast to get much utility out it.

Should I start double-dropping them? I didn't want to have to double drop 2 of them already but the quickly building tolerance may dictate otherwise :/
 
yes, benedryl is an excellent choice. it is a substrate of 2D6, the minor metabolizer of hydrocodone, and the major being 3A4. so by taking it 30mins-1hr before your dose, it will act as a potentiator of sorts not only by its effects on the CNS, but also because it will occupy and clog your 2D6 enzyme. in turn, your high will last longer.

i wouldnt start double dropping now if i were you. even after a couple years of experimenting with opiates, i still get noticeable effects such as euphoria from my second dose of the day. however, i try not to take oxy/hydro more than once a day and 1-2 times a week.

if i were you, i would wait another 1-2weeks of taking the hydro daily before you increase your dosage because tolerance is a hard thing to reverse. make sure you always take your hydro on an empty stomach, and if you want there are multiple OTC medications that will help with pain and increase euphoria. benedryl as stated before, and DXM will both help the high so to speak, and naproxen sodium (aleve) will help reduce your level of pain. tagamet and white grapefruit juice are also OTC and will clog your enzymes like benedryl and increase the duration of hydrocodone's effects.

DXM is my favorite potentiator though, behind tagamet. it is a substrate of 2D6 and 3A4 which kicks ass. i also hav ebeen taking 60-100mgs daily for reversing tolerance and for its intoxicating effects.
 
I'd recommend Benadryl over DXM personally. Benadryl, while it has its own side effect profile, is very effective and safe at lower dosages. (I would stick below 75mg, usually 25-50 is all that's needed).

Also, just for harm reduction's sake, don't drink alcohol while taking your hydrocodone. The APAP in the formulation mixed with alcohol is very very bad for your liver. If somebody tells you that alcohol mixed with Vicodin or similar preparations is a good idea...well...they don't know what they're talking about.
