quick question ivebeen eating vicodins/perk's/lortab's/ anything hydrocodone for 5 years but most recently i been getting really hot when i eat dem, like red faced, and feeling likei need to get a cold bath anyone knowwhat this might be it's only been happening for the past 3 months......,maybe my pressure? or what?
 
Think carefully, have you taken anything new in the past 3 months? Started taking new meds? What dose are you taking and what is your tolerance? Also what exactly have you taken that causes this rise in body heat? Is your temp actually rising, take your temp when you feel like this? But in any case I would suggest stopping this for a while unless you need it for pain...better safe than sorry. :(
 
Go in for some blood work...Does any part of your back kinda distend? Your liver might be in trouble...Especially after 5 years of (ab)use. This is the only physiological responce that I can think of. Are you actually sure your body temp rises. Use a thermometer and check again. Might just be in your head.
 
this is stupid, everyone feels warm and gets red in the face. don't listen to those people who said stop taking em. its perfectly fine. stupid...
 
^^^ Please walk into oncomming traffic!!! He said that he had been taking them for 5 years and has had experiance with this drug... and that it was only recently (3 months) that he felt like this. Dont you think he would know the difference between a normal opiate feeling and someting wrong. You are the type of person that shouldnt be around drugs.. enough said. Dont bother responding to this for it is already known that you dont care about harm reduction and that you have less than that of a normal persons intelligence capacity.
 
Listen, I want all bluelighters to stick around for a while longer! 5 years of heavy hyrocodone use....give it a rest,along with your liver and kidneys. Take a vacation, there are plenty of opiates out there that won't destroy your organs,such as, Oxy IR, Oxycontin, MS Contin,MSir,Dilaudid,Fentanyl......try these for your high and give your body a break! Your liver and kidneys will thank you.
 
NO it's not possible, Never inject pills of anykind like this...Vicodin has APAP (tylenol) in it, and other than that it has tableting agents and fillers....These will hurt your pulmonary and systemic circulatory system functions...take it oraly it doesnt work any better

Always ask people as you have done... stay safe!:D
 
I agree with you Raverforlife, regarding kharma_bum's response...not only because of the obvious (5 year usage stated with none of that), but I don't know about any other opiate users but I never got "red in the face" from opiate use...warm most definitely, but as an internal feeling in my body, i'd venture to say more than likely not my physical temperature. Can't say I'm with you on your kind of experience with opiates kharma...although I'd be very curious if you really do get this way from normal usage, what in particular do you get this from (if you say all opiates, list a few specifics)...Heroin was really the only opiate I used (daily) with random pills occasionally, but I never got like you have described...
 
I had a pretty bad year long addiction to Vicodin and I never got that either... Perhaps you should give your liver a break ?
 
thanks

thanks for the help and no thanks for the asshole who made a smart ass commment, ive been using for five years, the first 2 years i only used like once in a while like every weekend or so, but round the thrid year i was using every other day , then started everyday to the present day, i pretty sure there's nuthin wrong with my liver becuz i got a ultrasound of my stomach becuz i had a gallbladder problem and they said all my other shit was straight, and this dont happen every time, just some times
Raverforlife - i havent been doing anything different the past 3 months just the same thing mostly, my dose is about 6 either 7.5 or 10's a day, my tolenrence is wierd i can get loaded on one all day but i choice to take more to keep the high up, someone told me it could be your pressure rising. i dont know
thanks for all the help to those who were postive in answering my questions
 
Thats good to hear about your liver, makes me feel better about mine :) . Everyone else insists on telling me Im going to die because of what I did to my liver lol.
 
Partykid, there's so many types of opiate pain pills out there that don't have Tylenol or Asprin to destroy your liver and kidneys....why not try one of those?
 
Because I would get Hydrocodone in high quantities back when I was addicted, and thats all my friend could give me, so I didn't complain :)... All the other shit like, Oxy and what not was stuck in safe.
 
Opiates stimulate histamine release which causes your bloodvessels to dilates causing a rush of blood to your head, making your face and eyes look flushed, along with the itching.. This response it dosage dependant(in other words, the more you take, the more vasodilation).. So as you tolerance grows(over 5 years) you have to take more, and a larger amount of vasodilatoin occurs.. It may just now get at the point of noticing..

Still, 5 years is a very long time to be habitually using anything with tylenol in it... Id suggest taking a long break.. Trust me, you dont want liver damage.. You also probably want to get a few simple tests to asses if there is any damage, and maybe take Milk Thistle as a supplement for a few months(Milk Thistle has been shown to help repair and prevent liver daage).. You can find it at Walgreens..

Also, if you feel you cant quit right now, at least move to oxycontin, methadone, or even snorting(no shooting) heroin to prevent any further damage(shooting can aggrevate liver problems)..

Anyway, Id assume the flushing has nothing to do with liver problems.. However, liver problems can be symptomless for awhile, and your past use of vicodin may warrant a checkup.... Better to catch a problem early and take pills for it, than have Hepatitis or cirrosis later. If you dont get a checkup, at least watch for dark yellow, bloody, or amber colored piss. This and yellow tinted eyes can be a sign of liver damage..

Good luck!~
 
I think that about says it all....its also great advice about steering clear of opiates with tylenol or asprin....there are so many other pain meds that are free of those liver and kidney killers..
