I have been taking vicodin and percocet for over a year. My tolerance has went up so much vicodin dont do anything for me. Today I believe I took 12, 10mg vicodin and 1.5, 7.5mg vicodin throughout the day from 10am to the last one at 730pm. Idk if I am safe, I feel fine, a bit tired but clear headed. Has anyone ever taken that much vicodin in one day? Please let me know. Thank you.
 
How many of mgs of hydrocodone do you usually take; is that significantly higher than what you have used recently. Hard to answer if that much hydrocodone is dangerous without knowing your tolerance but for the record that is a high dose. I can't tell how you are actually feeling but if you ever feel you are truly in danger don't hesitate to call 911. Even if you tolerance has gotten to the point were that much hydrocodone wont give you much effects it doesn't change the fact that such a large amount acetaminophen is horrible for your liver. I advise to taper off them before you end up needing to increase your dose. If you are going to be taking that much vicodin or percocet you must do a cold water extraction to remove the apap.

Going to move this to basic drug discussion.
 
Yeah I don't know if you're taking any precautions such as cold water extraction, But if you're just taking Vicodin, I feel like You would have To worry Way Way more about the apap.

In terms of addiction, you're probably walking a thin line. I don't personally feel like the hydrocodone intake is To horrible (definite not going to kill You like right now seeing as it doesn't do much for You.) But that is purely my opinion.

But I can say, the apap may cause serious damage And should definitely be considered when taking meds containing it. Don't quote me But I think the DAILY "exceptable" amount is 4000mg. Which if You think about it, say the Vicodin You had was 5/500 mg, then 8 pills would be at that threshold.
 
Yes. I used to regularly take 150-200mg of hydrocodone daily. It's a real bitch on the tolerance, obviously, and if you're not doing a proper cold water extraction on the pills it's incredibly bad for your liver and stomach. Problem is, I would run out early twice a month and so I was going from very high to dopesick multiple times every week or month, which is hell on down the road when even a single use of any opiate will throw you into withdrawal the next day. It's not extreme withdrawal for me by any means, but if I do use for a few days at a time now I will have 1-3 days of stretchy legs, watery eyes, the yawns and sneezes, muscle soreness, lethargy, etc. So be very careful. As the above poster stated, you're walking a thin line. There's a bunch of great information on the board here about both getting your tolerance down via a "tolerance break" (ceasing use for at least a week) and cold water extractions. Use the search feature and see what you can find and good luck to you.
