Hello guys, I've been browsing this forum for awhile, but I'm a new member. I've taken opiates off and on for years, but never regularly or in high doses. I took two Percocet last week and was pretty wasted, so obviously my tolerance is low. Two days ago, I was prescribed Vicodin (5mg hydrocodone) and Bactrim for an ear infection. The first day, I took four Vicodin over a 24 hour period and felt pretty good. Today, nothing happened. I've taken six so far with zero results. I think it's killing the pain, but no fun results like a body high or euphoria. I even tried some of the things mentioned here: tonic water, Tums, Benadryl. Nothing except tiredness. This happened to me once with Adderall too, and I never figured it out. I'm also taking a multivitamin, fish oil, and Prilosec. I took one Dramamine II (Meclizine) to ease the nausea from the Bactrim. But besides the Prilosec (I didn't take that yesterday) all is the same. So, my questions are: Why is this happening? Should I bother trying to take more? I don't feel good - cold, chills, dizziness - but I have no idea if that's the Bactrim, infection, or Vicodin. Help? Thanks.
Answer: Vicodin sucks. You arent going to get any really awesome buzz, unless you take a bunch of them at once not spaced out during the day. There is only so high you can get on them, and your tolerance goes through the roof fast. IMO you are expecting alot from a baby drug that takes a truckload to get you as high you want to be.
Uh the cold chills and dizziness is from you being SICK and then trying to get high off vicodin and trying to potentiate it with OTC meds among other things. Vicodin isn't going to get you fucked up so stop trying and get better and you will find that you feeling like shit will go away...
