What can happen if you take 12 vicodin a day?

You will most likely overdose, but that is an understatement considering the amount. Retards on the internet, but if you can't think for yourself, by all means down those pills, one less to worry about.

What is the strength of 325-10 vicodin?

Percocet A.K.A. Oxycodone, 10/325 is extremely strong, the only things that are stronger than this would be Morphine and Oxycontin. Don't take this just for recreational use. This is an opiate based drug that has highly addictive qualities. Take only as prescribed and do not take for long periods of time as your body will become dependent on it and won't be able to function "normally" without it. To go back to your original question though, it is stronger than Vicodin and Norco. As I said earlier do not take this for recreational purposes. It does give a high because it is opiate based and it's used to relieve pain by basically turning off signals in your brain that tell your body you are in pain. This is what gives you a high and an almost invincible feeling. Be careful, these aren't something you want to mess around with. They can ruin your life by becoming quickly addicted, this is not an exaggeration.

Can Vicodin cause GI beeding?

Vicodin cannot cause acid in the stomach because acid is already naturally inside the stomach but the over use of the Vicodin could cause you to get sick so if you have not eaten then you would be throwing up acid from your stomach which could lead you to think that it could cause stomach acid.

Can you take vicodin and Darvocet at the same time?

Darvocet contains Acetaminophen and Advil is Ibuprofen, an NSAID. Acetaminophen is not a NSAID and should not be taken with Ibuprofen due to the increased risk for liver and/or kidney toxicity. You can alternate Tylenol with Advil as such: 09:00 AM-2 Tylenol
12:00 PM-2 Advil
03:00 PM-2 Tylenol
06:00 PM-2 Advil
etcetera etcetera. approximately every 3 hours alternate.
This way your kidneys and liver won't be bombarded with 2 liver toxic and/or kidney toxic drugs at the same time. A healthy liver and set of kidneys will do fine with just one of the 2, but taking them at the same time sets you up for damage. Hope this helps!

How long after taking vicodin do they stop pain?

To correctly answer your question with a solid answer (from someone whos been on suboxone for 3 years) id have to say on average it takes 24 full hours for suboxone to get out of your system (that goes along with its blocking agents that are attached to the nalaxone in the suboxone) if you are a user of suboxone and have been taking it for a while then it can take up to 72hrs for the suboxone to totally work its way out of ur system. But to sum up my answer 24hrs is the full wait time til you can get f*cked up again off of just one single does of suboxone.

Will taking vicodin while pregnant harm the baby?

It will cause severe reactions in the baby. It will come out addicted to the pills also and could have development problems or worse. You need to see a doctor about your addiction now. It isn't fair to you or the baby to keep taking these pills while you are pregnant.

Vicodin detection time?

3-7 days I have taken my prescribed vicodin 2 days prior to testing and came up negative. It really depends on the strength and how often you take it. In addition, the amount of fluids you drink directly affect the time that any opioid stays in your system. The more you drink water, the faster it's out of your system. This information comes from my personal experience and the advice from 2 RNs that I personally know.

How long will 1000mg Vicodin stay in your system?

1000 mg vicodin (about 133 extra-strength pills) would stop any human from breathing. Without external breathing help, the subsequent anoxia would cause death. When a person dies his metabolism stops, and the vicodin in the system would stop being converted to vicodin metabolites. Without intervention, the body will decompose naturally, and any vicodin remaining in the system has three possible dispositions: it could be broken down by scavenger organisms like bacteria and invertebrates, it could spontaneously decompose due to, e.g., abiotic oxidation, or it could stay unmodified in the decomposing remains of the body. 1000 mg vicodin will stay in the body approximately forever.

Which is stronger vicoden 500 mg or 325 mg?

the "5" portion means that there is 5mg of hydrocodone in the product. it does not matter that it is vicodin or norco, both contain hydrocodone. the difference is that vicodin products usually contain a ratio of 1:100 hydrocone to acetaminophen( example 5/500 or 7.5/750) where Norco may have 5 or 10 mg hydrocodone but usually not more than 325mg acetaminophen(example 5/325 or 10/325). Generally Norco may have less acetaminophen overall regardless of the hydrocodone content. People who will need hydrocodone for longer periods may be better off with the lower amount of acetaminophen in Norco due to the potential organ toxicity of acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is in a class of drugs known as NSAIDs - non steroidal anti-imflammatory drugs, such as Tylenol. Hydrocodone products require a prescription whereas acetaminophen, like Tylenol, can be purchased over the counter. Why pharmaceutical manufacturers include the acetaminophen component with the hydrocodone is not made clear to the consumer but people with liver problems might be safer with less acetaminophen injestion. This information should be confirmed with your physician for accuracy and correctness.

How do you get Vicodin prescribed?

tell your doctor you have major pain that OTC meds don't help. worked for me

What are the doses for hydrocodone?

Technically, there is no maximum (ceiling) dose for any of the pure opioid agonists - the dose depends on the opioid tolerance of the person taking the drug. remember that all opioids are NOT cross-tolerant... for example, oxycodone and morphine do not produce complete tolerance to each other...

however, hydrocodone presents an interesting situation among the opioid analgesics since it is RARELY (if at all in certain countries, like the US) encountered without acetaminophen (Hydrocodone/APAP, major brand name Vicodin) or another simple, non-opioid analegesic (Hydrocodone/ibuprofen is another, major brand name Vicoprofen)... ibuprofen rarely causes overdose problems (in order to have a serious problem, you're looking at a dose of 400mg per kilogram of body weight).

acetaminophen (called paracetamol outside north America - APAP as a generic term everywhere), on the other hand, happens to not only cause overdose at relatively small doses (6000mg - 6g in a day - that's 12 vicodin... each vicodin contains 5mg hydrocodone and 500mg APAP... each vicodin es contains 7.5mg hydrocodone/750mg APAP - that's EIGHT pills in a day to cause an acetaminophen overdose that will cause liver toxicity - not enough for death, but after enough time, no liver = no living... as far as single doses go, it's about 9000mg/9g - 18 vicodin/12 vicodin es), but results in a horrible, excruciatingly painful death by hepatic (liver) failure. when your liver fails...

(as it will with an untreated acetaminophen overdose - IV infusion of N-Acetylcysteine within 8 hours of ingestion is pretty much the cutoff point for saving your liver completely - and symptoms of the overdose usually don't show up until 24 hours after the drugs are ingested... so if you THINK you've taken too much - and you don't feel any symptoms of opioid overdose - like breathing problems, GO TO THE ER AND TELL THEM YOU TOOK TOO MUCH TYLENOL - after that, it's pretty much dependent on your own body's handling of the overdose... if you've taken too much and it's the opioid that's causing the overdose, you'll know right away and you need to have a few IV injections of naloxone - brand name narcan... until all of the hydrocodone and hydromorphone - hydrocodone metabolizes into hydromorphone, among other things - are out of your system completely. naloxone has a very short half-life... shorter than any opioid that it can reverse. it MUST be given repeatedly.) ...the only treatment is a transplant.

in short, if you have no tolerance... don't go above 10mg in a single dose if you want to be perfectly safe from the opioid effects... if your opioid tolerance is through the roof - but not with hydrocodone, do some research to find out the level of cross-tolerance and dosage equivalencies between the other opioids. if your hydrocodone tolerance is through the roof - and that's why you're asking this... just remember to do one of two things - don't go above 9000mg/9g of APAP (check the APAP content of the pills) in one dosing, or learn to do cold water extraction of the hydrocodone from the pills... you can find the methods for this online using Google, but unless you have a decent knowledge of chemistry, i wouldn't try it... because you will not remove the majority of the APAP correctly and/or you will end up with zero hydrocodone. I'm not going to try to talk you out of taking it - do what you want. just be safe.

Is vicodin a part of the hydrocodone family or oxycodone family?

Vicodin contains two drugs: Hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone, a derivative of opium, is an opiate analgesic; acetaminophen is an analgesic. This medication is classed in the opiate family because of it's hydrocodone component.

Will vicodin show up on a drug test for marijuana?

Yes. I takes three days to clear opiates out of your body. Unless you have a prescription for it. For whatever reason hydrocodone doesn't show up on a DOT 5 panel. When you go for the test say nothing to the pee colector, its not their business. If you get called on it explain then.

Can drinking a lot of water help you detox off of vicodin?

No, normal hydration is adequate to flush out any drug. Vicodin is metabolized by liver.. drinking water doesn't affect liver metabolism.

Does vicodin and hydrocodone show up the same in urine?

Yes, a positive is a positive no matter what mg you have taken. If you are being tested and you have a legal prescription, it will not count against you as long as you can prove it to the person giving you the drug test.

Is it safefor dogs to take vicodine?

Yes for LARGE enogh dogs that need it, but don't expect to get a prescription for it from your vet. I informed my vet that I had a some Vicodin and wanted to know if I could give my dog one of my pills when needed. My vet said "yes, it was okay". However, you should discuss with your vet, as it all depends on the breed/size, type of pain, and the dog's current life expectancy. Example: Vicodin will not work for inflamation, and could be toxic for little dogs. My dog is a 90 lb, 11 year old, golden retriever, who has transitional cell carcinoma which has spread. I only give her one maybe once or twice a week when she is having a really bad day. She does very well on them, often going from lethargic on the couch panting to wanting to play/cuddle/sometimes sleep. It would NOT be safe to give to a dog daily, or over a long period because of addiction/withdrawls/damage to liver (as is the case for humans). Nor would it be wise to give a human dosage to a very small animal, because of possible overdose. An alternative pain medication, more readily available, and recommended by vets for pain control in dogs is TRAMADOL. Talk to a vet about getting the right dosage based on your pet's weight. Good luck to you! Note: I am not a vet, and so this information is only based on my dog's experience. You are best to just ask your vet if it's okay for your dog.

Which is an example of a narcotic drug?

3 exemples of narcotics are: cocaine, methaphetamine, and Heroin.

What happens if you snort vicodin while pregnant?

To be honest I'm not sure why you would try that unless you wanted to try to kill it or give it mental problems when its born. If you take vicodin at all your going to harm it but snorting it your goinging to increase its strength ultimatley doing more harm whoever wrote this isn't very educated on the matter, i know several people who have been prescribed hydrocodone while pregnant, myself included. i think snorting it would just make it hit you quicker not stronger. what happens while you take opiates while presgnant is you may become addicted and make your baby addicted if you keep doing them until you deliver.

Does Vicodin make you retain water?

Answer 1: yes Answer 2: The one time I was on Vicodin, it made me violently ill. I couldn't even drink water because it would make me throw up. So - it may depend on your own personal reaction to the drug.

Does it take longer for Vicodin to get out of your system by snorting it?

No, because vicodin is metabolized in the liver. Essentially, this is the same as eating it. In many other substances, the drug crosses the blood-brain barrier in the nose, and therefore hits faster and the half-life is shorter. In the case of hydrocodone (vicodin), it will just take as long to reach the liver for "processing."
