Vicodin and mixtures

I have social anxiety and what has helped for me is a mixture of exactly 15mg dexedrine + .5 mg klonopin + 5 mg hydrocodone. It seems to be this exact combination that works so well. I figure to use it on one time uses for job interviews and extreme situations where I must be on top of my game.

What I haven't tried though is a higher dose of vicodin (norco10/500). Maybe it's simply just the vicodin that I need, I don't know yet.

Would it be better to go with the higher dosage of vicodin, or the mixture of the 3 drugs? For redosing too? I don't know for sure if a higher dosage of vicodin will work yet.

I feel like with the 3 drugs I can stick with 5 mg of hydrocodone. What I'm basically worried about is the addiction from the vicodin, but I'm also worried about taking too many different drugs and the stress it may or may not put on my liver.
 
That's something you need to learn through self-experimentation. We can't tell you how to get rid of your anxiety because we can't feel what you feel when you take drugs.

edit: and I wouldn't use vicodin as anti-anxiety medication for long term; it's really not used for that.

Yes you're right, it's not a long term solution by any means. I will be on anti depressants soon probably.

In terms of body stress and possibility of addiction, which would be more preferable? The low mixtures of the 3 or a single higher dosage of hydro? I feel like I can probably lower the dexedrine as well.
 
As long as you don't do it on a daily basis and if you do go on a binge don't let it go longer than a week straight. And while they can help some, don't expect anti-depressants to fix your life for you. Granted I'm limited to which ones I can take because I take tramadol for pain (which has effects similar to A/D), all I've found is something that makes me moody (Wellbutrin), and something that literally zombifies me to the point of I can't fucking wake up (Seroquel); this shit knocks me out for a minimum of like 12 hours if I haven't already been asleep all day.
 
It sounds like you're on a slippery slope now, you've discovered self-medication.

Consider this a fair warning. Becoming dependent on more than one substance, especially amphetamines, benzos, and opiates all at once is a whole new ball game of unpleasantness. Use sparingly, seriously. Watch re-dosing too, that is a major factor in how quickly your dependence and tolerance will build.

I eventually found opiates alone could treat (see: mask) my anxiety and depression, but I much preferred my little 'cocktails' for a long period of time. First it was only a couple times, then a few, then several, then every day. My point here is watch yourself, as you are most certainly playing with fire on thin ice. It can spiral out of control pretty damn fast, especially where the opiate and benzo mix is concerned...that's a special kind of hell if you let that combo get the upper hand.

^ listen to this..

In terms of physical effects.. taking regular amphetamines isn't completely harmless, there is always the risk of neurotoxicity. Opiates and benzos are pretty physically benign. APAP (in the Vicodin) is bad news for the liver, but you are below the recommended safe limits (4000mg/24 hours, 1000mg in one dose). If your doses go up and up, not only should you be worried about becoming dependent, but you will want to start doing a CWE (see link in my sig)..
 
I'll do my best to not increase the dosage or take a long break to reduce tolerance so I can remain at a low dosage. It's definitely the three combo that removes my social phobia. Vicodin and Benzo does not do it, Dextro and Vicodin does not do it, Dextro and Klono does not do it.

I may be starting Lexapro soon, but the SSRI inhibiting the effectiveness of the combo for occasional uses like during interviews, worries me a bit.
 
5mg of vicodin isn't helping your anxiety, hell it would barely help a headache. Sorry, placebo, but if it works, then I'm happy for you, just be careful and heed everyone's advice.(and remember dexedrine+dextromethamphatemine= methamphatimine so keep that in mind(though again, a low dose)
 
^ 5mg hydro had me nodding my first time ever taking it. Not sure about the OP's tolerance but 5mg would have a big impact on my social anxiety. Just have to learn to cope with your sober self while not on benzos/opies/wahtever else...goodluck with the SSRI they helped me to a certain degree%)
 
^^^ ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?! If so, you are in the bottom 0.001% of people in terms of opiate tolerance, or more specifically hydro tolerance. Note that this is note a "OMG, I bang 48mg hydroorphone a day!!!" kind of thing. It's just that they prescribe such a weak dose for the very reason that 1 5mg pill, or in most cases even 10mg. But hydro is a unique pill, effects depend not only on tolerance, but also your body;s ability to convert it in-vivo to hydromorphone. Vicodin was the first opiate I ever tried, but when I took them, I didn;t even realize it was an abusable drug, because I took 2 for my cluster headaches when I was like 15, it did help the headache, but had no other discernible effect. Of course, I don't react well with hydrocodone, in fact, as many times as I have tried, I swear to you, I to this day have NEVER gotten any pleasure from hydro, not even once. Yet the first time I was prescribed percocet, I took 3(15mg), felt fucking fantastic, ended up taking 3 more and was nodding on the couch all night!!!

I am a rar b reed, certainly, but I still refuse to believe 5mg of hydro would have ANY effect on anyone who isn't a child or a senior citizen, except perhaps that 0.001% of the population I mentioned!!!
 
^ Some people are very sensitive to opioids - I know of someone who had respiratory depression after 10mg oral morphine. It is rare, but it does exist!

OP, I'm glad you are going to be careful not to increase your dosage. Be careful not to take it daily too, Oxide gives some very good advice :)

I think this thread has run it's course now and has gone a little off-topic so I'm going to close it. If you feel your question needs more answering or if you have any queries, feel free to shoot me a pm :)
