Tell them you want the worst constipation you've ever had in your life. You want constipation so bad that you might have to resort to digital evacuation in the doctor's office. Tell them you want gum disease and to have all your teeth fall out. Tell them you want to be broke and homeless and to lose all your friends and family. Tell them you want to balloon up to morbid obesity in a short period of time. Tell them you want to die young of heart disease. Nah, on second thought, just skip the stuff. It isn't worth it.

You would have to be in extreme pain to get vicodin and chances are you won't get oxycontin. Those drugs are saved for someone dying of cancer and they are of a LAST RESORT. Most doctors won't even give narcotics for pain relief anymore. These drugs are VERY ADDICTIVE (which is probably why you want them. Am I right)?

Since when did I become a bundle of stove wood or a cigarette? I had to take the stuff this summer for excrutiating headaches after surgery. It was the worst experience of my life. After a few short days, I preferred the headaches to the medicine and I quit taking it. My neighbor didn't stop taking it, and his life is spiraling down toward what I fear is an early death. If you don't like my advice, ignore it. But you don't have to be rude.

I've been on it, too. It doesn't hit me QUITE as hard, but it does cause constipation. I could never figure how anyone could take a month or more's worth of it daily without having major problems taking a dump. It never really did more than take the edge off pain for me, but that was all I really needed. Now, though, they're talking of banning it - http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2009-06-30-tylenol-acetaminophen_N.htm - because of other side effects that others have had.

I read about and asked a question about that very thing yesterday. I think it's a very bad move and will make our health system worse than it is now as far as ER waiting times, etc. There are side effects of any drug but banning something like that will really hurt chronic pain patients.
by therapist on September 15th, 2009
True... People tolerate different drugs differently. Banning it will cause a lot of people to live with pain that's damn-near unbearable. My wife has fibro and there are times they prescribe it for her, too. Neither of us seem to be addictive toward drugs, thank God, but it should be up to the doctors, a few test pills for those who have never had it, and very careful distribution - as it is, now.

Oh, and "telling a doctor" that you need Vics usually won't work, unless he's not a doctor most would want to go to.
by BigDaddyBS on September 15th, 2009
you are correct. It should be up to the doctors since only they know the patient. If a person tells the doctor "I need vicodin" it immediately puts up a red flag for addiction. Thanks

it seems like illegal drugs are less dangerous than prescription and over the counter drugs.

oh and sorry COAT i just went ovet the edge there. sorry.
by mirror I rorrim on September 15th, 2009
All drugs are dangerous. The prescription ones are just tested and monitored, but that doesn't mean they are safe. Just listen to the list of possible side effects rattled off at the end of every ad. You don't want to take those drugs unless your disease is worse than the drug. I gut it out through fibromyalgia every day with nothing but a muscle relaxer because most drugs are worse than my pain. My mother took oxycodone in her last weeks because her pain with terminal cancer was worse than the drugs. She also had stopped eating, so she wasn't going to get constipated.

@Mirror - Please remember that comments are like everything else, here. They remain for all others to see (unless... ;-) ).

Thank you for apologizing. Not everyone does.
by BigDaddyBS on September 15th, 2009
I'll second that Big Daddy.
