Random political thought:

Should I post random political thoughts while I have four vicodin in my system. Probably not.

For the record, these are my first vicodin ever (been prescribed many times, never taken). They don't seem to do much in the actual way of pain relief, just a feeling of blickiness.

Are you combining the drug thread and political thread?

Sorry to hear that you have had to take vicodin. Hope the pain goes away.

When I was on drugs, the stuff the liberals were posting did make more sense.:)

Scaeagles has done more posting under the influence than anyone else on these boards. I figured it was his coping mechanism.:p:D

What, pray tell, is wrong with you that you have taken 4 Vicodin? I had 1/4 of a boob removed and I wa only up to two a day.

Wisdom tooth removal. I took one and it seemed to have absolutely no effect. I took the second and while it didn't seem to have much effect I slept for most of the afternoon so I don't. I'm on the second cycle now.

I think I'm somewhat impervious to painkillers. For a root canal last year they had to inject me with novocaine five times before I got the numbness they wanted. Once I had to get stiches in my face and they had to inject lidocaine four times since feeling kept returining too quickly.

Ahhh, I have the same problem. I am a 4 Advil gal.

Wisdom teeth are the worst. I had all 4 done at once and I was glad I didn't have to do it again.

I may have to go back. Because of the root placement they used a less common technique of removing only half of each of the bottoms. Odds are good that they'll heal and that little bit of tooth will just remained buried in my forever. There's also a fair chance I'll have to get it get infected or rejected so that my body will naturally move the tooth bits so that they can go in and remove them.

From the description of your vicodin reaction, I'd say you were indeed impervious to proper painkiller effects. The symptom you describe is how vicodin usually effects people who have no pain symptoms.

That's why I dispose of vicodin once the pain is over. The drug acts entirely differently on systems with and without pain. For those with pain, it is a usually excellent painkiller with no druggie effects. For those without, just a general downer, drugged out, "blicky" effect.

My medical advice to you, Alex: Don't get hurt.

Nonesense - there's always morphine

Vicodine, codine, morphine, heroin, laudnum, oxycodone, etc are all opiods or opium dirivitives. They all act basically the same way but some are semisynthetic or synthetic.

Some people don't react the same as other to opiates and they don't seem to work. I find that Advil does more for me than the opiate family.
