Alcohol and percocet/vicodin
 

How do you feel about mixing?

Poll to come

They gave me vicodin when my arm was split in half (well, it was in a cast) and vicodin SUCKS. It didn't do a goddam thing unless I drank some beers with it.


I've never had percocet, so I don't know.

All that shit is laced with acetaminophen, it will give your liver a workout especially in combination with booze. It's fucked up that they put the acetaminophen in there.

The one time I took it, the room wouldn't stop spinning. It sucked. I stopped taking them and just dealt with the pain. Much better. Maybe if I drank booze too it would have been better.

The vicodin I'm on after my surgery doesn't seem all that strong. It did help, but the pain was still just tolerable. Thats probably a good thing that it didn't completely dope me up and I was able to be in control of myself. I still wouldn't want to mix it with alcohol even if I was in worse pain, I think I would call the doc and just tell them I needed something else.

[myoldbuddyamy]Meh. Those labels? They're just suggestions. [/andmydad]

I've been given Vicodin quite a few times and I just don't bother anymore. It doesn't relieve the pain any better than a handful of advil and it leaves me with a horrific headache. No thanks.

Percs are waaaaaaaay better than vicodin. IF you MUST take vic, get the DAW. Generics seem to vary widely in quality, esp. when it comes to pain meds (and, baby, I know my pain meds)

Back in the day: Tylox and a beer. Bzzzzzzz.

Now a daze: Fuckabunchgoddamnedpills.

A xanax, very infrequently, to knock me out when I'm tired of not sleeping.

That would be such a bad idea for me.

Very informative chart comparing various painkillers. YMMV

HEY EVERYONE HAVE A NICE RAPTURE.

If it falls through, then just have a nice weekend.

We don't get vicodin over here, even under a different name, so I had to do a bit of googling. Turns out our equivalent is Co-dydramol, or solpadeine. The latter of those is available over the counter.

I've definately drunk whilst on co-dydramol. Can't say as I noticed any difference to drinking ordinarily. But since I was also smoking ... who knows?

Yeah, Tylox used to be a very nice drug. I wonder what happened to it?

Don't care for vicodin. It upsets my stomach too much.

i think tylox is a brand name for an oxycodone/acetaminophen mixture. in other words, its percocet. might be wrong, but i worked a few diversion cases involving it in the past

I don't mind you experimenting with drugs, but your experiments were poorly designed.

you can get hydrocodeone with ibuprofen instead of acetaminophen. easier on your liver

I generally run around with a bunch of little aches and pains (mostly in my neck and shoulders)...usually they are just on the edge of my consciousness. Sometimes, though, they can get me really tense and cranky, so I might then take half a 5mg hydrocodone and 20 minutes later I'm all relaxed and cheery. I call them my happy pills. If I had real pain, however, like a 7 or higher, they wouldn't work. I would need a 10mg oxy for that. Thankfully its been a long, long time since I've had real pain.

When I was younger, I might have mixed pills with booze, but nowadays I'm just not interested in that kind of high. A glass or two of wine is all I need.

Hate painkillers, love booze, never mix :)

VA gave me some hydrocodeone w/tynol for my back last week. I took 1 after a few beers. Wierd dreams all night. No more for me. Plus I'm not sure my liver can take it.

I've mixed beer with valium, and CVS-brand cold tablets with wine...but that was ages ago. I'd be too afraid of some internal organ seizing up to do it now.

I've used pain killers and alcohol in an effort to self medicate in the past. I generally avoid it these days, although once in a while I do it still. It's usually got to be a really bad day though.

Hmmm...I'm wondering what that says about me.

Don't do it. Find other, less dangerous and harmful ways to manage pain.

Well, first of all, I actually don't do that sort of thing when I'm in physical pain - ironically because I worry that it might be harmful, and secondly I don't do to the same extent now. It was mostly during the period after my Mum died. That was 6 yrs ago now. Sometimes now I'll just take something to help me sleep, and sometimes that happens to be after I've had a few drinks. I don't set out to obliviate (is that a word?) myself anymore, so I guess that's good.

Yes, it's a spell. You must have learned it at Hogwarts.

There are times when pain meds don't touch my pain. Add alcohol and they seem to be much more effective. And it does make me feel all wonderful inside.

ooooh...cool. lol

Much oblived.

Couldn't sleep last night and thought about taking something, but what I've found is that if I do, it knocks me out for the whole of the next day and I feel crap and achieve nothing. At least this way, even if I got up late, I'm on the brink of starting to feel human and may be able to do something useful today.

MDMA plus LSD equals rainbow boobs?

FTFY

Got a chuckle from this post I serendipitously found the other day.
