broke my wrist... vicodin

well i broke my wrist and i got some vicodin out of it at least lol... i've never used it recreationally before, but i probably will... anyone know how much to take?

it reads: HYDROCO/APAP 5MG/500MG TAB

oh and does it matter if its generic?

 

Well those are only 5mg's, which is pretty small, but they also have 500mg of asprin in them, so you can't just take a bunch, it can be dangerous.

I'd take 2 at a time at the most, it's really not good for you to stomach 1000+ mg's of asprin...

And generic doesn't really make a difference, enjoy them though

 

thanks, i was also wondering... do people snort them? i doubt it casue of all the tylenol in it, but i am obviously no expert.

 

1000 mgs is nothing, the daily max dose is 4000, and the LD 50 is 7000, so dont worry, you just cant take more than about 15 at once, which I doubt you would. Take four of em your first time. Dont start low and work your way up, its wasteful, and youll regret it once you realize that 10 mgs of vicodin isnt much. DO NOT snort them. I did it once, and there is nothing better about it than eating them. You have to snort a huge pile of powder, and its just terrible.

 

ok thanks for the tips. i just took two about an hour ago for the pain which was really intense and the pains gone now and i feel pretty good

tomorow morning i'll go with what you said and take 4 before school.

 

^hydrocodone is tops at school

 

broken wrist.. and all you got was hydros.. you should go back to your doctor in a few days and tell him you feel a lot of discomfort and he may bump up your dosage

 

I agree with jokerman. Get him to up your dosage. and tell your doc that you are still pain even when you take the 5's, but you don't like to put acetaminophen in your system. he may give you Hydro 10/500's instead, maybe even some percocets ( oxycodone/APAP), but there's also a possibility that he may yank the hydro's and give you something different altogether. it's your call. i love vicodin, though. i just really hate acetaminophen. i like to get as much hydro/oxy in my system and as little APAP as safely possible. APAP's a bitch. be careful with it. sorry about your wrist.

 

I think we're starting to get more intelligent posters here, I usually had to diss someone for being an idiot by now but so far so good. I've seen the quality of posts go up, resulting in less stupidity and ignorant posts. Everyone's better off.

 

i'll try that tomorow but get this... first he says take advil! so i called him up and he gave me vicodin... tomorow i'll call back and see if he can give me something stronger.. although last night i took four vikes and i was feeling pretty good, it seemed like a really hazy marijuana high, but towards the end i felt a bit of nausea... is it from the tylenol?

 

thanks, i might actually need something stronger for real though... my wrist is starting to hurt real bad..

 

Lol there you, now for sure you'll sound more convincing. Try to get atleast vicodin 10mg, or percocet.

 

yeah, a broken wrist sucks serious balls, bro. i've broken both of mine numerous times and it wasn't ever any fun. percocet would definitely be better for the pain. that's what i got damn near every time and it always helps with the pain, although, you do have a broken wrist there, buddy. no matter what you take for it, when the drugs wear off, the pain is gonna suck ass.

the nausea you experienced is probably from the moderate dosage of hydrocodone in the four vicodin you took. nausea is a side effect of opiates, although i never really got it unless i took a pretty high dose. doubt it's from the APAP, but there's really no telling. different chemicals affect people differently. i mean, from the sound of it, you haven't used vicodin too often. when i first started using hydrocodone, i could take 7.5-10mg and feel wondrous. i wouldn't have even dared to take 20mg when i first started, just because i prolly would have gotten sick. now, i have to take at least 20mg of hydro to feel anything.

hope this helps. hope your wrist gets better, dude.

 

yeah my only experience with opitates before this was snorting one oxy, i think it was 7.5 mg. yesterday i took two pills than two more two hours later i was feeling pretty good but it wasn't as good as i thought it would be, and i think it might have just been placebo, as in i just felt what i wanted to feel. i took 10mg today and it barely did anything. i also heard that crushing the pills up, putting them in water water and drinking up increases the effects and makes it kick in faster?

and thanks for the kind words broken wrist sucks... especially in your senior year playing a sport..

 

grinding the vikes up and putting it in water will prolly make it kick in faster and perhaps stronger, but it will also get metabolized quicker and the effects won't last as long. apples and oranges i guess

 

@OP... your nausea probably came from a mixture of the opiates and the higher amount of APAP.. especially if you are not use to downing that much APAP or Opiates.. plus it depends if you took them on an empty or not..

I would not mention anything about the fact that they are making you not "feel good from the acetaminophen".. because your doctors excuse could be "it may be the hydrocodone".. and then you're fucked.. so i would just stick with the fact that you're "still feeling some pain".. tell them you've been taking your meds as directed and been taking advil twice a day and you still feel discomfort... and see where he goes from there.. whatever you do.. don't seem desperate for something else.. go in there knowing that theres a good possibility that you will not get anything different

 

Few steps shy of a CWE....

PS: it is a horrid.. horrid taste..

 

No prob, man. Kinds words are generally the only kind i dish out, that is until you piss me off, lol. but yeah, tolerance with opiates picks up with a quickness, that's a well known fact.

as far as the crushing them up and mixing them with water, i'm sure it would make them kick in a lil faster. the only way i eat my pills is chewing them. especially lortab 10's. i use my front teeth and break it into 6 pieces, them swallow them down with some random tasty beverage. i've tried the crushing and mixing with water, but it just ends up becoming a pain in the ass. and it tastes much more terrible as well. idk if it's just water mixing with the pills that makes it super nasty or what. it just seems to linger in my mouth longer when i do it that way.

that's why i stick to my own, easy way of ingesting pills.

do what works and feels good for you. thats what i do.

 

and definitely listen to jokerman. you don't wanna seem desperate for something in any way or you will just end up fucking yourself. then you'll end up with jack-shit. and that's 0 fun. just have confidence and watch what you say to your doc. if you do decide to go out on a limb, you better make it fucking convincing, that's for damn sure. they can spot a fake from a mile away if you let em.

 

ok, thanks guys.

of course i'd like some stronger stuff, but my wrist is really bothering me so ireally will need it. my mom is calling the doc tomorow and telling i'm taking 2 every 4-6 hours and still feeling pain. hopefully he'll up the dosage or give me something better.

how much hydro does it take you to get you where you wanna be? i am a total nub when it comes to opiates. if you dont mind i'd really like to know what you feel at different dosages..
