The situations I describe come about more often IRL than on here, with people I actually know. I'm a frequent receiver of the OH ISN'T THAT CUTE tone.

On here, I just think it's sort of amusing how I will state a fact, back it up with a link, and still be told I'm wrong. I speak about it fairly frequent enough, I thought it was common knowledge that I was a medical student. If it wasn't, hey, I apologise- but the moronz comment was in no way directed towards you.



I know. I was being tongue in cheek. :)


well i never thought the moronz comment was directed to me as clearly i dont know enough about you to be involved in your threads prior to this.
i have never heard you talk about being a medical student but then again i'm not here very much anymore.

At present I can see your point, she humbly chooses not to toot her own horn. I mean it's not like this is a relevant part of her life she ever talks about in public or anything. ::)

When the new sig comes in y'all will know off the bat though. Matter of time.

well good for her. sincerly. didnt know it was a well known topic here.
glad a newb like you can let me in on things;)

I think I'm missing out. I get insane migraines sometimes and despite trying every migraine med out there, the only thing that's really worked is vicodin. I don't take it that often, but when I do I never get the happy opiate effect most people seem to - I just get no pain and then go about my life. The dose is half-one pill depending on how bad it is, sometimes if it's really bad I take two (three once) and still nothing *shrug* Whenever I watch "Intervention" I don't get how those people pop vico's and get buzzed... I pop them and get no-headache.

Thank god I'm not trying to get high, apparently I suck at it lol

It's a narcotic pain-killer, not an anti-depressant, you moron. I just had five teeth pulled and a bone-graft to my jaw so I have to take it right now. The last time it was prescribed to me, I had been hit in the face with a truck and my jaw was wired shut. Even still, taking more than one made me sleep about two days straight.

When it's gone, it's gone. Enjoy the detox, you pill-popping idiot.

*hates people who abuse legal pharmaceuticals. Get a life and a real drug addiction.*

Wow, im going to go against the grain here and say this post is unnecessarily harsh. and unnecessarily mean.

shit dude, calm down... everyone has their problems, everyone has their vices. I dont think the OP's post warranted this kind of hate. Why dont you save this hate and animosity for the blues out there that are bent on causing problems for us, instead of themselves?

Seriously. When the hell did strippers become such a judgmental group of people?

Geez people. You aren't going to get addicted from taking a couple of oxys. I've taken percocets here and there over the years. I've had a supply of 3-4. And there isn't a withdrawal from a small amount....UNLESS you have past addiction issues. If you ever have abused opiates in the past, the brain now has receptors for them, and you could get dope sick from just a couple. This recently happened to a friend of mine, who once had a heroin habit.

Quit judging, yo.

less than a year ago i found my miracle supplement, Travacor, and combined it with healthy eating and yoga, and i've never been happier. i knew life was supposed to be like this! ;D


Really? I think I would like to try this. I'm on a pharmaceutical and it gives me horrible munchies when I take it at night. I just can't stop eating, and can't lose any damn weight.

How does Travacor affect the appetite? I'm very intersted...

^^Thank you! A reasonable post! I love this board and the girls on here, but sometimes it seems like people on here more judgmental than my classmates at my nerdy college!

I understand that a lot dont like drugs... and im totally cool with that. and im totally cool with them making the descision to be straight edge. but, like, saying you hate people who use prescription medication for anything other than the government appointed purpose.... thats fucking ridiculous.

Its like the girls who say they hate anyone who would degrade themselves by taking their clothes off for money. Same judgmental bullshit. Considering we get so much of it from the rest of society, i dont know why we have to act so judgmental to someone who is really not harming anyone, other than (arguable) himself.

man if i detailed half the crazy shit i used to do for fun (not at work), i would have an apple stuck in my mouth and be barbecued alive for everyones self righteous pleasure! Jeezus Louise-us! ::)

not like advocated getting buzzed from vicodin, but it only works when you're not actually in pain already. i mean, i guess you can get high off them if you're taking it for like tooth pain but not something really serious. when i had a cyst burt in my ovary the pain was so incredible, i got 2 shots of morphine and that dulled it but i was not fucked up.
once the pain was better and i continued to get morphine though, i was LOVING it 8)

i highly recommend it girl. i'm not too sure about the appetite thing because mine is non-existant right now. so i don't think it would increase your appetite, i really suggest trying it! :-*

Me too. I have to take painkillers for actual health issues (long story but I have 3 incurable chronic pain conditions that debilitate me and mild painkillers are a part of my treatment). I have a high tolerance though and I've never gotten high off them. Then again, I've never had a day in my life that I wasnt in pain so...they are working on that and dont have spare time to get me high.

I gotta disagree with the idea that we are all going to have the same opinion and if we don't want to act as enablers we should just shut the f up. This is a message board and nobody on here is a child to be judged for judging! The premise of forums is that everyone gets to speak their piece/peace. Anyone who can't stand to hear people judging is setting themselves up for a rude awakening the moment they come on the net. He put the thread out there and should expect a wide variety of opinions--meaning we're not always gonna agree. It's this gang up and shut up opposing opinions behavior that made this board a high school clique nightmare before. I don't agree that people judging is oh-so-high-school. I think bullying others into silence when you disagree is oh-so-high-school.

I don't think self medicating ala' Michael Jackson is the way to go. Better to see your doctor about your symptoms or go to your local herbalist. Self medication can and does often go awry so why take the chance.

The great Hunter S. Thompson once called it "Drowning in Assholes".


Ironic that you vivianbear would bring up the great Hunter S Thompson in this thread. Famous for abusing just about every recreational drug known to man.

I'm on v-bears side of this argument more than anyones...just thought the reference to HS Thompson was funny here.

Recreational use of illegal drugs is something i outgrew shortly after college. But I dont judge anyone who uses recreational. Just that they better know themselves and if they are the type of person that may allow it to be a problem...and then it becomes a problem, i probably wont waste a lot of time feeling sorry for them. (recreational use of perscription meds falls under the same category)

when the did i say we all had to have the same opinion? Please, show me where i said that... apparently i fail at reading comprehension of my own posts. So please, enlighten me.

I wasnt trying to shut up constructive criticism or opposing opinions. nor did i even put my input on what the OP said other than say it was really only potentially debilitating to himself (as opposed to others).

We are talking about gang up and shut up? Well, lets see. the poster who i told to chill out, in her post said she "hates people who abuse legal pharmaceuticals" and referred to the OP as a "pill popping idiot." And then a bunch of other girls jumped on the thank-you train to support the attack. Seems like ganging up to me.

There is a difference between expressing negative opinions towards the OPs use/misuse of drugs and just being self righteous IMO.

Example:
Opposing viewpoints: you shouldnt be abusing legal pharmaceuticals. its bad blah blah blah
Self Righteous nonsense: I hate everyone who illegally uses pharmaceuticals.

^ I agree, when I commented I made the point that it's not the proper pharmaceutical to use for anxiety and is self-medicating. He clarified that it was for a headache...which still, as a person suffering from migraines wouldn't use that, but knowing how unbearable migraines can be, things like vicodin are very helpful. I personally smoke weed for my migraines, it dulls them and then I can fall asleep and when I wake up they're usually gone. But of course, lots of people can be judgmental even for smoking weed, especially when it's not on an occasional basis. I didn't want to get bashed for talking about smoking daily to calm my anxiety, sleep better, and when I am in pain, use that as well. I've taken a lot of different prescribed medications and personally dont like them, but to each his/her own, as long as it's not abused.

I don't know the OP's background but I think it came off as self-medicating and it raises red flags for concern...I'm sure we all know people suffering/suffered from drug addiction and don't want to see another person fall into it.

I couldn't agree more. As I said already Im not down with prescription meds. I hate it when people who use them get on their high horse and tell others how bad illegal drugs are. Drugs are drugs and drugs are bad mmmmkay? Hugs not drugs... but wait... drugs with hugs hmmmm. I digress...

The more I think about this the angrier I get at the judgement. I must say my peace, forgive me. Maybe this thread WAS actually a cry for help from Mr_Hyde? Did you think of that before you jumped down his back, Vivian and others? Perhaps he is one of those poor suffering addicts that you are here to help somehow.

Speaking as a former addict, all of us at one point chose to partake, then things spiraled out of control. But even the most hardend AA evangelist would still agree that an addict does make the choice to use in the beginning, or upon relapse.

I just don't get how he is a moron. We don't even know much of his situ. I'm thinking; he was a little high on the stuff and posted the thread. How many members here post regularly when drunk or high? Are they all morons too.

Also, my BF suffers from horrible headaches, worse than migraines. He doesn't have health insurance so he can't afford to go to a specialist or pay for fancy migraine pills. The general practioner gave him Vicodin. He hates it, kills his stomach and sex drive, but it dulls the pain just enough so that he isn't crying for hours every single night. Is he one of those morons too, because he is doing what he can to control his pain, with the resources he has?

Sometimes doctors don't even prescribe correctly. In medical school, a doctor does an average of 5 hours in pharmacology study. They learn more over the years in Continuing Medical Education required courses, but it doesn't prevent doctors from mis-prescribing and over-prescribing every day.

I currently take a pharmo. in a somewhat off-label use. Its a mood stabilizer, but I use it for insomnia and anxiety. Am I a moron for doing that? My dr. gave it to me for these purposes.

So what, he had some extra percocet lying around, from a surgery or something, and took it to take the edge off his headache/depression/anxiety. How does that make him an abuser? People do this every day. He hasn't mentioned that he was interested in seeking percocet for off-label uses.

And its true, the oxy in percocet will temporarily alleviate his symptoms. Wouldn't it be better to educated him on more appropriate long-term alternatives than to tell him, and all of US, how stupid and lame we are?

*hates people who abuse legal pharmaceuticals. Get a life and a real drug addiction.*

Do you even realize what a bitch you sound like over someone who has taken, probably a grand totaly of 5-6 percocets for a slightly off-label use? Should he go seek smack now because its a "real addiction." Who's the idiot. He got the script prescribed to him, somehow, right? He's paid for it, its in his home. Why can't he take a few pills to "numb" a physiological pain. Depression and anxiety DO affect the mind and body together. Percs will help, even though its highly recommended to NOT take them for that reason, they do alleviate the horrible pain of depression and anxiety. Have you ever been really depressed or had a panic attack? Its pretty damn physical and painful at the moment. So instead of having a bunch of drinks, he popped a few pills from his personal stash. WTF is so crazy about that? He isn't begging us for a fix or anything.

People take narcotic painkillers off label all the time and don't get addicted. I've done it dozens of times of 15 years and never got addicted to pills, whilst I've been addicted to other things. Popping a couple of percs does not automatically make a person and addict. They aren't magical addiction pills. And there isn't a "detox" from taking a couple of pills...he just might not sleep so well for a night or two, and of course, the depression and anxiety will still be there.

No one goes through withdrawal from a couple of percs, it just doesn't work that way. People are so scared of addiction because of what's in the media..well hell, people become addicted to tylenol for minor headaches, and Afrin for nasal congestion. The body grows dependent on substances and gets lazy. Big deal.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, this thread makes me so mad. >:(

Oxycodone is an opiate painkiller. I got prescribed the stuff after I got stabbed. It did nothing for the pain. Didn't make me feel high either. I guess I was in too much pain for the 5mg strength to do anything.

I'll add that I took the stuff for 2 or 3 weeks (though not daily) and experienced no withdrawal when my prescription ran out. 5mg simply isn't very strong.

Well I'll be the last to jump down anyone's throat for taking any kind of drugs--unless they are clearly losing their shit or obviously getting hooked.

To me some doctor telling you it's OK to take drugs doesn't make the drugs any better, or their use justifiable. Television is full of ads telling us how drugs will solve all of our problems, and it's so obviously a copout in so many cases, it makes me sick to think about it.

Historically speaking doctors and TV ads have equaled or exceeded the harm done by dealers, I would bet. My grandma was a fucking junkie thanks to doctors, though all her WASP, country clubbing friends would be shocked to hear me say that, and vigorously deny it. But she was indeed a junkie, bless her timid, kind heart.

One thing about drugs I have noticed, through years of observation and experimentation. Different drugs affect people in different ways, and with widely varying amounts of danger. One guy can do blow any time he wants, and never come close to getting hooked, but if he messes with happy pills, he's fucked. Or vica versa. Or they will drink like fish instead, which is of course no better, and often worse.

I do think oxys are pretty fucking dangerous, as I said I knew people who were addicted to them in Daytona and it wasn't a pretty sight. Which is why I have been letting the people slide who are jumping on the OP for considering using oxys for headaches or anxiety. Not a good idea, about on a par with shooting up a little smack for the same reason, without the needles.

Since Oxys are for all intents and purposes synthetic morphine/heroin.

But let's try to be cool about it, please.

Ok, one more time. He had percocets, which only had a small amount of oxycodone in them. They have 2.5-10mg of oxycodone in them VERSUS oxycontin, which has 10mg-180mg of the opioid analgesic in them.

They are called percs, not oxys. Really hard to get Oxycontin prescribed in the US any more due to the abuse, and its now a Schedule II controlled substance. Percs aren't that dangerous. Its more dangerous to drink heavily with them, as they have Acetominaphin in them as well.

5mg of Oxy, over 10 pills isn't enough for withdrawal, unless the person already has opioid receptors in their brains.

That being said, I used to take an occasional perc from my friend who has chronic back pain. I never liked them enough for addiction. However, he husband, who had a history of heroin use, became highly addicted, to the point where he stole her pills, ordered refills in her name, etc. They almost divorced over that.

So, ya never know.....

I kicked an oxy addiction. I was clean for over a year.

I just recently kicked a perc addiction. Percs are highly addictive. No not as addictive as oxys but they are addictive. I had to go to addiction counseling and now my doctors are very hesitant to prescribe me any narcotic pain killer. FTR I was given percs for my BA. They are so easy to abuse and they are huge on the street to buy out here. Hell I've worked at a lot of clubs if you even suggest you might be on percs you'll get harassed non stop for them.

Mr Hyde
02-11-2010, 08:25 PM
Your original post gives an entirely different impression.

I see that now, and I'll elaborate and apologize to the person I called a jackass.

I had a headache a few days ago and took an oxycodone that I had left over from a prescription late last year. It was prescribed to help get me through some post-surgical pain. The pills are mostly tylenol, 325mg, but there is 5mg of oxycontin in them as well. The pill helped the headache but also made me feel pretty calm too, and I have some anxiety issues.

I took another one the next day to see how it would be, and got another nice calm-down.

I only had 5-6 of these pills to begin with, and each only has 5mg of oxycontin. If I leached out all the oxycontin in them and combined them in to one pill, I'd barely have enough for brief high. I'm not gonna get addicted to this stuff on 6 pills, and I only took three in three days. The last one made me feel a little sick, and I stopped. I would have stopped anyway.

I reacted negatively because I was in a pissy mood to begin with and the person who I called a jackass was throwing names around and assuming a lot of things. I shouldn't have responded as I did, but that same thing can be said for her. Still...I'm sorry.

No point made because I know MANY people addicted to percs. Without having ever been addicted to oxys.

Many doctors will tell you that percs are highly addictive. Any time you pick up a prescription for them there is a write up handed out with them about how they're addictive and regulated. Percocet is a narcotic. Narcotic drugs are addictive.

When I did therapy there were a lot of people in my group who were kicking a percocet addiction without having ever been addicted to any other drug prior.

FTR I wasn't saying Mr Hyde was addicted. Nor was I saying he was going to be. I was just saying he needs to be careful because they are an easy drug to get hooked on.

that's a vicodin dude. might be generic, but its not called oxydone or oxycontin. there is 5mg of oxycodone in the vicodin, oxycontin is a totally separate pill made up of only oxycodone. i know most people know this, i'm only trying to help you know too for the future.

it would be incredibly rare for someone to get a raging narcotic addiction from a few days of vicodin from the dentist after a root canal, unless they have previous addiction problems. its very rare for someone who never took drugs to get hooked on percs from a boob job also. just to remake KS's point.

I'll have to go with what the label that the pharmacist slapped on the bottle says, and that is "Oxycodone." Maybe they got it wrong, but as you state, I am not going to get addicted to anything on 6 pills with trace amounts of the addictive drug in them.

ohh thanks dr. medio! i was just going by the 325mg of acetaminophen. so that's generic percocet or what?

Yeah. And I'd actually be more cautious with that due to the high acetaminophen. That stuff is killer on your liver.

Its percocet. Similar to vicodin. Hydrocodone is vicodin generic. Oxycodone is percocet generic.

Vicodin has 500mg of acetaminophen. Percocet has 250mg.

Both can certainly be addictive. But based on what Mr. Hyde has described, I don't think he is high risk. Nor was it worth calling him a moron or an idiot.

If we took a poll of how many people have maybe popped a few of their leftover vicodin or percocet to take care of a headache, pain from working out, or just as a temporary relaxer...I'm sure we'd find a relatively high number.

I've used my vicodin stash for horrific menstrual cramps, that come with my ovary problem. They actually don't help that much because they upset my stomach, but it was worth a shot at the time. How is that any different than Mr. Hyde's experiment?

woo...I have some issues with anxiety/depression....struggle with it...don't like the traditional drugs for it like Celexa...so the last few days I've been taking some oxycodone and man, that stuff helps the anxiety a lot...and I feel gooood....

The oxycontin is only like 5 mg but that's all I need to feel kind of nice....heh...

BUt I only have like 3-4 pills left.

I don't want him to be called an idiot, but I would be worried to get an e-mail from a friend of mine that said this.

The oxys I tried and feared after the 2nd time were synthetic morphiates to get people off smack the easy way, leaving them having to get off the oxys of course, but a step in the right direction.

But the morphiates and the blow are pretty high risk for addictive personality types--not to say Mr Hyde is but from the sounds of this he'd take more than the 6 or more total if he had them, with the rationalization that it helped with anxiety/depression as powerful incentive to get more. And we all know you can always get more.

I would be the last to judge Mr Hyde harshly, but it sounds as though he probably needs to stay the fuck away from the oxys, which is the only reason I let the harsh comments stand.

Sorry, Mr. Hyde, I am being honest. But rather than see any more abuse or bickering further about whether it's correct, I'm just going to close this.
