Hydrocodone.

What does it do?
My Sister's Step Mother gave it to me to give to my SO because he has a sore tooth. But I just wanted to make sure it's not going to knock him on his ass lol.
Is it a pain reliever? And is it strong?

Yeah it's a narcotic pain reliever. It'll stop the pain that's for sure but it does make some people sleepy. Or feel good lol. The strongest is 10 mg, then 7.5 mg, then 5 mg.

What's the mg?

Yes.. It is a pain reliever. Also a narcotic.

I use to like them for the buzz so generally took them on an empty stomach with caffeine. It can affect people differently. For some it will put them to sleep. In my case it always hyped me up. (Which is why I liked them in the first place).

Its generic Vicodin usually puts me to sleep!

It's Vicodin lol

I've only had them twice, but it knocked me on my butt both times. I'm a wuss with meds though, my body doesn't handle them well.

It's vicodin.

When I take vicodin I literally sit there feeling like a zombie. It makes my skin feel weird and I prefer to sleep it off.

I don't understand why anyone takes pills for fun :/

Same reason anyone takes anything for fun. Same reason people drink or smoke pot for fun I suppose. Because they like to. They like the buzz they get from it.

I just know what the horrible outcome is when you take it too much and for so long. Thankfully since I realized all that I have been able to better control myself and take stuff like that for what it is meant for.

It's fun to be drunk though...being on vicodin was not fun at all...at least for me.

But it's different for everyone. It was fun for me because it hyped me up and made me more social. It motivated me. I can name a million things that it did for me and it still won't be good enough for the way I abused it and how it altered me in a negative way.

Of course I know better now but, before it took a negative affect on me I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Thank goodness I was able to pull myself out of it though!

Congrats on your sobriety. That is something to be truly proud of!

UGH it made me feel awful...I can't explain the weird feeling in my skin...ahh hope I never am in enough pain to need it again!

It's 5mg. So that's strong enough that it will knock the pain out? He really needs to just go to the damn dentist but he refuses to

why??

Quoting Captain Obvious:" why?? "

Because he's a dumbass. He refuses to go to any doctor for any reason.

Thank you.

If I took too many of them I would get itchy all over. I would have my husband scratch my back so hard he was practically ripping my skin off. Once you have it in your system every come down gets harder. After you have taken so many in one day it's like you lose your ability to catch a buzz no matter how many you take. All it does is make you mean. (Well, it made me mean).

When I was sober one day I realized the person I had become and decided I didn't want to be that way anymore. So I quit cold turkey.

I still take pain pills for actual pain. My Craniofacialist prescribed me 10mg. of Oxycodone for my jaw pain until my splint starts doing what it is suppose to do. I do as I am told and take them as needed. At first it was hard to control myself with those but, it didn't take much for me to see why I needed to. It's easy when you reflect back on that one day when you decided to stop with what you were doing in the first place.
