What's the promise near ODing on Vicodin?

I took 16 5-500 mg tabs of Hydrocodone (vicodin) and it hasn't done anything! It has been approaching 3 hours. I haven't gotten ill and I can't even get to sleep. I don't get it. What's up?

Please don't contribute me a lecture, either. Please just answer my request for information.
Answers:
How is your tolerance? 80mg of codone should really hit you good.

Anyways, be careful near vicodin. The APAP is really bad for your liver, and above 7g you can have an overdose.

Do a CWE (Cold Water Extraction) for vicodin.

With vicodin, your going to OD on APAP (tylonel) before you will OD on opiates.

Here is a guide for doing CWE: http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50751

Your body may hold a natural tolerance, but try taking about 40mg next time.
80 mg of hydrocodone isn't enough to massacre you usually. 8000 mg of acetaminophen is good to do some liver damage, probably, but not enough to assassinate you unless you do that for an extended period of time.

Anyway, DON'T DO IT. I'm sure there are people that you will devastate near the huge mistake you are trying to carry out. You need to talk to someone right immediately. Nobody has so many problems that they need to kill in cold blood themselves (well some do but that's beside the point). The bottom line is, take a step back, look at adjectives the positive in your life, and think in the order of your family and friends, those that are close to you, and how destroyed they will be to find you dead or get a phone phone that you killed yourself. Please, just don't do it.

Well, I tried. I do know the threshold dose of acetaminophen that will lead to acute liver toxicity and demise, but I don't think I'll be sharing that with you. Hope you get the relieve you need dude. Source(s): Pharmacy student
Well, the hydrocodone in the Vicodin is the opiate. It is the part of the drug that binds to the opioid receptors in the brain to transform the way that the brain precieves the pain signal. As a result, it also changes other functions that are going on inwardly the brain, which is why many people will get a euphoric sentiment or why some people feel sick to their stomach or dizzy, etc. Now the bigger issue with opioids is that they are also CNS depressants, purpose they supress the patient's central nervous system and this is what controls vital functions, such as heart rate and respiraton.

With most empire an opioid overdose is due to them taking so much of the opiate at one time, that the side effect of the CNS depression becomes to great, and it depresses it to such an extent that the patient goes into respiratory arrest, substance they stop breathing, and this will of course result in cardiac arrest and death if narcan (naloxone) is not administered surrounded by sufficient time.

Now as for your situation, you must understand that not all people respond to adjectives opiate pain medications in like way, which is why we have multiple different types of thes drugs, hydrocodone, oxycodone, propxyphene, morphine, methadone, etc. It is quite possible that you are a moment ago not a person that responds well to this drug, meaning it does not pass you the systemic effect that it does others, which equates into you being able to take much more of it than some and surface no ill effects. However, it can still supress your respiratory system, so even though you do not feel all that large, when you go to bed, you could actually still go into respiratory arrest. Also you should know that in that is a titration point for this drugs, meaning that once you reach a certain dosage, here are no more receptors for the drug to bind to, and so it is just wasted, and dumped back into your system to be filter and excreted as waste, without you even getting any function out of it...so basically you receive no high from it, it is like throwing your money out the window and still have it come back to bite you in the *** bc even though you get no effect from this fruitless amount of drug, your kidneys and liver still have to work hard to filter it.

Also, and this is something that you should be more concerned with, and specifically the Tylenol thats is in the drug. 500 mg a pill. Tylenol is VERY hard on the liver, and if anything you taking that many Vicodin is going to incentive you an OD on Tylenol before the hydrocodone itself....and the bad thing next to that is where the opiate OD can be fixed with nalaxone and afterwards you are released and all is ok, with the tylenol the damage it does to the liver is irrepairable and several people who get in this boat winding up up being chronically ill (liver failure is sore and pitiful) and sometimes need liver transplants...that is the scarier of the two.

Honestly, I will not lecture you (even though I am a toxicologst who is subjected to ODing patients more than I thoroughness to say), I will just instead tell you that if you must take opiates, please try to achieve a hold of the drugs that do not contain the Tylenol. Also why dont you go with a different opiate, as hydrocodone seems to be a drug you are not responsive to, and please remember what I said in the order of dosages....taking a crapload at a time is just going to waste your money, put you at risk and it is not even going to get you any sophisticated. Read up on the max dose for someone of your size and age of whatever drug you take on WebMD or some other site similar to that and do not exceed it. Source(s): Toxicologist
