you have opioid receptors in your brain.

It did the same thing to me. It wasn't euphoric...and to be honest it really didn't take the pain away...it just made me not care. It also made me laugh and giggle at just about everything.
It also plugged me up like a drum, and I wasn't happy and giggly about that. |

Its because you are on Vicodin.

hydrocodone (vicodin), oxycodone (oxycontin), diacetylmorphine (heroin) are brothers and sisters.... you like vicodin you'd prolly like heroin.. trick with them tabs.. dont know how many you have, if you are using them to 'relax'.. just dont relax everyday for a week or so, at the end you may feel a little restless of not be able to sleep good for a night or two. take one now put the rest away for a rainy day(s). |

I'm not really thrilled about taking prescription pain relievers but this is a bad time for back pain. I filled the scrip two years ago and never touched them until yesterday. |

I had to take some hydrocodone after I had my uvula cut off.
It put me into a fog and I didn't like it. It did take the pain away though. |

I didn't poop for three days. Then I did the Big E. Then I pooped for an hour straight. Then I took a shower.

I had two surgeries last year, was prescribed Lortab after both of them. Both times I took one and decided that I'd rather deal with the pain than that horrible nauseous foggy feeling... so I just took Motrin... Got a shitload of Lortab in my medicine cabinet.

I have been storing them in the basement in my safe, no light and temp controlled. From the way I'm feeling, I can say with confidence that these have held up just fine.

ENDORPHINS! Your body will naturaly release some when you commit such pleasurable activities as working out, orgasms, and C-mag dumps with NFA firearms.

Seriously, oxycodone (Percocet) and hydrocodone (Vicodin, Lortab) are more or less the same strength. They are considered equal in the medical community, however, some people prefer one over the other. Different people, different reactions. |

I was prescribed oxycodone in connection with last year's kidney stone attacks and treatment series.
I was prescribed it three different times in three different dosages. It did relieve the pain, but I didn't like the feeling of being wrapped in a blanket all the time when I was on it. The sensation was stronger with the higher dosages. It also mad it hard for me to sleep. But I did WRITE a lot. It did seem to cause me to think more and about more things. Mental activity was way up. Quite frankly, it sucked. I am NOT one of those who is going to enjoy THAT drug, or probably any of its relatives. I don't think I'm susceptible to opiate addiction. No interest in finding out, either. CJ |

I didn't like it. It was part of a UPPP. I don't snore anymore though.

hydrocodone seems to be a tad milder at 5 mg than say 5 mg of ocxcodone (percodan) and seems to last a bit longer.. dilaudid is a bit stronger than oxycodone at similar strenghts. grew up in a drugstore had access to everything. had bad headaches. took it all (there was no oxycontin then). i could take it or leave it.. one thing though scared me.. methadone.. giving sometimes to cancer patients (dolophine). lasted a really long time and was ah.. really relaxing. took it twice i think and said no more. having tried them all vicodin seems the best (of the group) because its not as strong and last longer. you cant take this stuff continously though or you will get physically addicted. some doctors prescribe enough for people to take for say.. two weeks. patient doesn't know any better. takes it for two weeks then goes through withdrawal.. usually like a case of the flu with sleeplessness. i suspect thats how rush got started, progressed to oxycontin and by that time he was physically addicted. some doctors seem completely unaware of the potential for addiction with this stuff and some are over cautious and wont prescribe enough to a patient that is in real pain. |

One of the things opioid agonists do is reduce GABA activity in the CNS. GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain and spinal cord. Opioids also inhibits norepinephrine activity, which effects sleep/arousal and other stimulatory behaviors/actions. |

Damn! First uvulectomy I've heard of. Can you still say "AAAAHHHHH!" when they look in your throat and mash your tongue with a tongue depressor (I guess that's how it got it's name)? Can you still gargle without a uvula? Can you still yodel without a uvula? Do you look like this without a uvula?  ???Glad you are sleeping better though. For my kidney stone (carried one day shy of nine months  ) they gave me Lortabs, Toradols, and Mepergans. Took 7.5 mg of Lortab, and if I was still hurting in 30 minutes I was instructed to take a Toradol on top of it. If the pain got bad enough, I was to take a Mepergan (Didn't have to take any). Passed the stone a week ago Tuesday while at work. Measured 4.5mm x 5.3mm. Hope I never have another....

I had a lower back problem a couple of months ago, and I got Vicoprofen, which is the same thing except with ibuprofen instead of acetaminophen. I prefer it if I have a BIG owie, because ibuprofen won't eat your liver like acetaminophen.

Dilaudid is actually 4 times more potent than Percocet or Vicodin orally. It's 6 to 10 times more potent than Morphine parenterally. You won't get Dilaudid unless you have serious health problems like CA. It's the most potent of all outpatient opioids. |

Oh yeah... Dilaudid. Synthetic morphine.
I had that once, too. By IV. That was at my ER visit that marked the beginning of several months of kidney stone treatments. The Dilaudid totally took away my pain. From excruciating to nothing in about a minute or two. VERY impressive. The other effect it had on me was that I have never before and never since wanted to just take a nap so much in my life. And I DID take a nap, and it was the best nap I've ever had. Peaceful and serene beyond my ability to express. It was the mind-blowing sex of naps. Addictive? How can you get addicted to napping? Regular use just might give me the answer. I don't really want to find out. Going under general anaesthesia, and coming out of it, was NOTHING compared to the Dilaudid nap I took. General was just a matter of time not passing as far as I could tell. I just woke up later with no sensation of time passing. CJ |

Dilaudid makes me vomit. No amount of anti-nausea meds can stop it.
