Can i die from vicodin?

Question

i take 3-4 pills 500 mg once in a while like on friday saturdays i dont do it everyday been takin em for about a year now or 2..can i die?? when should i stop

Answer 1

it seems like your just taking them to party.  Dont do it, its really not worth it.  If you accidentally drink while on htem you can die very easily.  Also 3 or four is alot and overtime you could over dose.  Either limit it to 1 or 2 or just quit altogether.

Answer 2

Now! All it will do is damage your liver and give you a slow and agonizing death later in life if you don't stop. get help to quit because you might have to stop slowly. You might be okay if you stop,but otherwise immagine tying your liver to a tree and beating it with a stick daily! this is what your doing so STOP,BUT GET HELP TO DO IT SAFELY!  

Answer 3

The 500MG refers to the acetominophen. The ammount of hydrocodone per pill is a mere 5MG, hardly a junky's delight. If anything were to kill you, it would be toxicity from taking too much Vicodin mixed with gross ammounts high-proof alcohol- it's unfortunately a staple combo of youth, but an enfeebled liver has extra trouble processing the alcohol. 2G of acetominophen alone isn't too horrible for your liver though, no worse than those who take three maximum strength Tylenol at once (my mum).

If you're taking too much Vicodin, alcohol, or a combo thereof, you'll have grossly depressed respiration. People will likely notice this and comment. People DO die this way, but again largely when they mix with alcohol. It's tragic, but I suppose there's worse deaths, like falling into a meat grinder.

To encapsulate, I'd suggest you don't abuse Vics, and I'd doubly suggest you don't mix 'em with alcohol. That goes triply for high-proof beverages like bottles of Whiskey or Vodka. But, kids will be kids so if you must, be careful and don't exceed your limits. Just remember that people have and will continue to die from Vicodin abuse, just like they will from many other recreational drugs. Party in numbers, and only with trusted people who won't ditch you in emergencies.

Oh, and you should stop whenever you decide your ready and able to live without opiates. Hopefully sooner rather than later...

Well you are messing with a heavy duty narcotic for pain. I have a friend who takes Vicodin, but she has an excuse---two major back surgeries. Of course, she gets Vicodon from a doctor who specializes in pain management.

Certainly, don't mix Vicodin with alcohol or other drugs or medications. At least, check on the dosage you are taking to make sure it is not killing you.

If you want to mess around with narcotics, you might as well learn what you are dealing with.

Answer 5

Well it's great that you want to stop in the first place. And i really applaud you for that. First off, you shouldn't stop cold turkey. Right now your body is used to the vicodin in your system probably. So stopping fast could potentially hurt you. My best advice for you is that you get help from someone that cares about you. What they will probably do is slowly keep you away from the drug. Like instead of 4 pills a week, slow it down to 3.5 then 3 and so on and so forth. it's a slow process but it works. also seeing a professional is safer for you because you won't hurt someone you love that is trying to help get you off of it, and the doctor knows what they're doing and their main concern is you.

best of luck.
