Can vicodin increase blood pressure?

No, the opiate group is usually not associated with increasing either red or white blood cell counts.

Is it safe to take Vicodin with a sleeping pill?

NARCOTIC PAIN MEDICINE & SLEEPING PILLSVICODIN IS A NARCOTIC PAIN reliever, not one of the strongest, but it is a CNS (central nervous system) depressant. As for the sleeping pill, it makes a difference if it is a barbiturate (Halcion, Chloral hydrate, which are also CNS depressants) OR a hypnotic (Ambien, Rozeram), which are not CNS depressants. You need to be VERY careful if you combine two drugs that are both CNS depressants. You should ask your doctor OR call ANY pharmacy and ask to speak to a pharmacist. Give them the names of the medications and dosages, and they will tell you if there is a problem, (called a DRUG/DRUG INTERACTION). Many times, pharmacists have more up to date, accurate information about drugs that CAN be taken together and drugs that can NOT be taken together.

Can you take Vicodin when allergic to penicillin?

I am allergic to morphine as well. I can take Vicodin, Lortab, Norco etc, but at higher doses (10mg or above) I do sometimes get very slight hives on my face, but not like with morphine. Anything 10mg and below and I've had no problem. That is just my experience. That being said, I cannot take oxycodone, Percocet or any of it's derivatives as it causes MAJOR hives, itching, burning sensation, and respiratory distress. Hope this helps.

What are the pink dots in vicodin?

That is just food colouring. It has no medical value and exists purely for identification.

Pharmaceutical companies add patterned food colourings into some of their medication products to give the pills a unique appearance so they can be recognised immediately. This is helpful when there are a lot of similar pills that look identical. It also helps medical staff such as paramedics identify the pills used in overdoses so they can perform the correct procedure to revive the patient.

Which is easier to withdraw from heroin or vicodin?

Both are very bad. But I can personally say if you snort heroin or smoke it, and you only use up to ten bags a day vs 15-20 norcos, heroin is easier. Not to say switching is right! It's not! Have the strength. Have someone monitor you. Go to your doctor and ask for phenobarbital, clonidine, bentyl, and take as prescribed. You will feel dopey for 7 days and some die aria. But the anxiety is far less then nothing. You need to stop! Before you ruin everything. It's hard to see it but you are ruining your life. Drug seeking will take all your energy. It's not safe. I know all this sounds like a therapist or a fed up family member but I am in the same boat. I relapsed 6 weeks ago. After 6 months clean. Heroin. It's easy and cheap. But your trapped. You cannot do it yourself. You can't. I've tried. I've lost everything. I barley make it day to day. I can tell you the first week is tough. Second is tougher facing what you've done. 3rd week you can relapse. I made the mistake of drying out for 6 days and leaving a Friends house. Only to go cop heroin. I had to fly so I did it all a day before I left to go back home. Needless to say I was sneezing, sweating and everything on the plane. I landed. Made a phone call. Picked up my car and got 50 norcos. Now I'm on my second round of 50. Now my detox will be physically worse than smack. See what you do to yourself? People you don't want to find out will. So now I'm DESPERATELY looking for a free detox in LA. And there is no help for 4 weeks. Please. Please listen to me!!! Do not keep going. Stop now. Go to your doctor. Be HONEST. They will understand. It's ok to cry. As you probably need to release everything your hiding. So the answer is yes. In my experience its easier with hierion. But it's dangerouse. I've never shot up. So I can't say for sure what your deal is. I know that norcos attach to everything in your body while herion leaves more rapidly. They are both deadly. Save your life! Stop. Ask a freind to take you in for 6-7 days and take plenty of hot baths as this wakes up your senses. You need to wake your body up. Prepare yourself. Tv, food, and plenty of changes of night ware as you will wake up every 2-4 hours soaked if you cold turkey. Using the meds above stopped most of those issues. Please. Try! You only have one life and the will of yourself. It's good to share. Because most do not understand what it's like. It's hell. And most cannot do it. I wish you luck. And please try.

Does weight and body type play a factor in how long vicodin stays in your body?

Weight and body type (and stomach size, assuming you are ingesting the Vicodin) DO affect the "kick-in" time of the drug. A drastic increase in body size could decrease the duration of Vicodin's effects, but this phenomena is virtually unnoticeable unless you're abusing your prescription.

Will vicodin show up on a 5 panel drug test?

Is it okay to vaporize cannabis if taking vicodin?

Of course we all know there are dangers to smoking (vaporizing) any drug; albeit : weed, tobacco, etc.. You get the idea. As far as what you are asking, from personal experience, yes, if you are a regular smoker there's no interference besides the itching and side effects you may have from the Vicodin. Just use your Vicodin as prescribed if you're worried and you'll be fine.

Does vicodin lead to depression and mood swings?

Absolutely! I just stopped taking Vicodin after being on it (1 pill a day 5/500) for 5 years straight. I was noticing I was becoming severely depressed, suicidal, extremely lethargic and wanting to sleep all day long. After being off of Vicodin for only 5 days I feel like a new person! I am having trouble sleeping now since I've been taking Vicodin every night to help me relax/sleep...but Sleep MD is helping me in this transition. If you feel you are becoming addicted to this drug - you probably are! Consult with your doctor to help you get off of it. It will consume and wreck your life if you don't seek help!

How long does Vicodin stay in your system?

Four days.
2 to 5 days depending on your usage
Opiates (heroin, morphine, Vicodin, oxycontin) take about 72 hours (3 days) to leave your system, but you might want to wait 5 or 6 days, just to be safe.
if I'm not mistaken it is in the category of Opiates, and i believe they take around 30 days to fade out completely
3 dayz they say but give it 4
It takes 4 days for a urine test and 6 months or more for a hair test.

What happens to your leg if you do not use it for a long time?

Like with any muscle, your body constantly supplies nutrients, even when you're asleep. If you don't use it, its almost like putting gas in a car and not driving it. Eventually your body or "the gas station" will stop putting fuel into your muscles. It makes using your muscles hard when you decide to use them again. If you decide not using them for a long long long long time, eventually your muscles will begin to atrophy or deteriorate.
