I just took 2 pills of vicadin I think 500mg each. What should I be feeling. I know they are pain killers. And how long should it take. Is it safe to drink alcohol right now or should I wait?
 
1. wrong forum
2. 500mg is the amount of acetaminophen, the ingredient in painkillers used recreationally is hydrocodone
3. if you dont give a shit about your liver drink alcohol by all means
4. fuck it im not writing anymore.....
 
alright this is in the wrong forum but anyway here is what u did wrong. First off dont mix alcohol. But the 500mgs was tylonel u need the hydrocoding in a regualr vicodone it has 5 mgs (i think) which means u took 10 mgs of hydrocodine. A starting dose would be 15-20 mgs.... so u need to take at least 3
 
A starting dose is 15mg-20mg? I dunno, I think that is pretty heavy for a first timer (Not unless you have a tolerance to opiates). Just to be cautious I wouldn't do more than two 5/500s. Last time I took three at once (hadn't done any in about a month) I fucken puked (to my surprise!). But then I'm not your usually pill popper, I might get ahold of 2-10 5/500s maybe once every six months.

15mg-20mg is really a low dose, even for a narcotic virgin, 10mg might make you itch a little, and maybe get a LITTLE warm, but it's certinly not getting the drugs full effects...
And yes, the greenlighters rude response was deleted, we don't tollerate that shit!

having recently introduced myself to the world of painkillers i have some comments
--the first time i dosed i took 3 Percocet 5/325
--second time on a full stomach i got 4 down with alcohol, then about six hours later made the mistake of doing 3 more while continuing to drink
--third time i took 3 on a completely empty stomach and drank a bit
the second the third times i puked up stomach bile the next morning and was VERY hung over all day
so far the effects that i seem to be getting are not very strong, except the itching. and when i take benadryl i get very drowsy
i live in arizona, so its hot as hell anyways, but i dont get that warm feeling too much anyways. I get a little bit of a lightness in my knees, the same thing that happens when i'm high.
so i guess my concern is dosage. through trial i have figured out that an empty stomach is not good, but i assume its because i drank those nights too. i think that eating something before you get to sleep would be a very good hang over control measure.
anyways, my point is this, would an ideal situation be something like 4 Perc 5/325 with no alcohol and a halfway full stomach ?
i understand that this 20mg oxycodone which is equal to 30mg hydrocodone?

I'm on the 7.5 Hydrocodone/ 750 APAP (acetominophen) right now. Took 3 so as not to ruin my LIVER!!!! It's possible to ruin your liver without drinking with them. REALLY! It gives you a light-headed feeling and a bit of drowsiness. Not like Benadryl. If it were then there would be no reason to have Federal mandates on this class of drugs. PLEASE, do not exceed 2,000 mg. of Acetominophen. That's the old rule of thumb. Some people have a greater tolerance but 2,000 seems to be about right for these. If you haven't tried Opiates then maybe you shouldn't be on them for a cheap thrill anyway. The feeling is ALOT different than Weed. More calming and less paranoia. I believe that these come in 5mg, 7.5 and 10 mg. doses of Hydrocodone. Not too sure but I think that's what I've seen. Just my two cents. I like Phreex's idea of going back to treating depression with Opiates. They tend to stay in the background and help mood more than anything. Recreational but not everyone gets the recreational effects of this type of drug. BTW: PhreeX, have you done more research on using these as antidepressants?
 
2g of APAP isn't going to destroy your liver.. it's a conservitive recomendation by the FDA... now if you take 2g a day, every day, for montha and months - THEN you might havea concern... but if this is a once-in-awhile thing, 2g ain't shit...
As for my research using opioids as anti-d's - it's on hold for a number of reasons.. I LOVE opioids, but I gotta by scientific about it, and it seems that it MIGHT NOT be the best idea...

Cool, thanks for the 411 PhreeX. I am in your corner with this as I take Benzo's and "mood" stabilizers for Bi-Polar but after breaking my foot the other day, I remember why I loved these puppies (opiates) sooooo much. Works for Anxiety and Depression.
