How long does it usually take for a person to get addicted to vicodin?

I have been taking vicodin for two weeks now and I think I may be addicted to it. What can I do to help myself and how can my doctor help me? serious answers only please. Thank You!

Chosen Answer:

I’m a nurse. I would talk to the doctor about it. Your’e not far along as many people. You can simply chose not to take them. Most people take them for a very long time and later realize they have a problem. I think you are fine. It took you only two weeks and you realized, hey this could be a problem. My advice is to discontinue the use of it . You will later noticed that you caught the problem right before the addiction happened. Your’e fine, after all this isn’t what you wnat to do and your’e not in denial, that’s great. Be strong during this time, you can do it, I know you can.

What happens if you take a vicodin pill for no reason?

My girlfriend got in a car accident and she got some vicodin pills. What would happen if I took one? The only thing wrong with me is that I feel a slight back pain from daily activity(so nothing i wrong with me really). I’m 21 by the way. So what happens if you take this while not needing it?
I guess Ill wait till I get my wisdom teeth taken out later this week.

Chosen Answer:

It makes you light headed a little bit. But once you take it definently takes your pain away. But be careful they are known to be very addictive. Try taking a 1/2 of one. If the pain is still there within a 1/2 hour to 45 min later then take the other half. Just be careful the higher the number (5mg-10mg) the higher the potency.

How long after vicodin buzz until i can get drunk?

So i took like 3-4 vicodin last night and am planning on getting drunk tonight (24 hours later) am i mixing vicodin and alcohol to soon so its lethal? Or am i fine?

Chosen Answer:

You can drink alcohol with vicodin (hydrocodone), as long as you didn’t take too much vicodin OR too much alcohol. Over time, it is hard on your liver, as most vicodin contains Tylenol, a horrible combination for your overall health and well-being. People love the buzz of a moderate amount of beer or wine along with vicodin, but be careful! That nice little buzz is very deceiving, and can really take it’s toll on your body. Dr. Drew on “Loveline” was just talking about vicodin last week, and was saying how addictive it really is, and how he’s seen people die from it. Three or Four is alot of vicodin, especially if you weigh under, say 200 lbs. That and a combination of alcohol can be potentially lethal. The consultation from a pharmacist will advise you not to take more 6-8 in a 24-hour period. It will be out of your system in 6 or 8 hours. Good luck! Don’t get hooked.
