Title: Using Hydrocodone (Vicodin)
Post by: CrunchWrappedCoke on September 23, 2013, 01:54 am
I'm getting 2 Vicodin pills from my friend and this will be my first time using opiates. What are some precautions I should take? What should I have around before I start? Should I take anything before I start? What should I have in case of emergency?

My biggest concern about using them is my lack of prior experience and knowing how I will react to it and if anything goes wrong how can I fix the situation.

I've already decided that since this is my first time, I'd prefer to have someone around me.

Thanks for the help, I've been doing my reading, but I feel I can get better answers to the questions that I have.

I assume by Vicodin you have 5/500 hydrocodone/acetaminophen pills?
If you're just taking two, you should be perfectly fine, since 1000mg is the maximum recommended single dose of acetaminophen.
Just make sure you don't have any alcohol in your system before and during use (very dangerous), and take them on an empty stomach for the best effects.
I'd suggest having benadryl on you in case you get itchy.
In fact, I always take a 25mg benadryl before taking hydrocodone because it potentiates the sedative effects a bit, and removes the itch.
I doubt you have much to worry about, just don't mix them with anything other than a light dose of benadryl and you should be good.
Just don't be disappointed, as 10mg hydrocodone will likely be a very light experience.
You should definitely be safe though, enjoy!

He tells me that they're 10mg hydrocodone pills w/ acetominophen. I'm picking them up tomorrow and will be able to tell what the dosage is then.
I do know not to mix downers, but it's always good to hear over and over again.
Having benadryl sounds like a good idea, I'll definitely pick some up before I use them.
It is reassuring to hear that my probable dosage will okay for me to do. I had done some more reading on Erowid last night and it seemed that even if they turn out to be 20mg Vics, I should still be good.

20 mg is fine. It takes a LOT more hydrocodone than that to kill you, even as a complete lightweight. The worst you could experience is some nausea and itching, but the benadryl helps with that. The main concern is the acetaminophen, but since you're taking 2 pills, you'll be fine.
