Dilaudid is one hell of a Pain Killer!!

That it does... 🍺

I am not a pharmacist, but I think:

Vicodin = hydrocodone- a semi synthetic codene.

Percocett = oxycodone- a semi synthetic codene that is stronger than hydrocodone and has a greater potential for abuse and addiction than hydrocodone.

Both of the above are codeine compounds with a few molecular changes to alter their efficacy.

Hope I am correct...

Back in the day,

We called that combo, the "Mind Eraser".

Dave (A.K.A. Homebrew)

we called them Disco Biscuits...

Broads dropped their panties after a luude and a drink...

Yeah, that liver failure buzz gets you all sorts of fuh-ed up.

Honestly, aside from the extra strength tylenol that the hydrocodone is paired with, mixing alcohol and opiates is a really bad idea. A LOT of people die doing it...it's one of those things where you don't have to be rip-roaring messed up to slow down your breathing enough to slip into a coma while you sleep, and even less thwacked to aspirate some vomit and suffocate without making a sound. Scary stuff...I wouldn't want my mom or wife or whatever getting that kind of call some morning.

Yeah. Hydrocodone is codeine with a hydroxyl group, and oxycodone is codeine with an oxyl group.

It radically changes the amount that crosses the blood brain barrier, to where oxycodone ~6x more potent than hydrocodone, which is ~6x more potent than codeine.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

If giving via IV. Pills aren't worth a chit. I've taken Dilaudid twice. The first time when I herniated my L5. Was taking one per hour. Absolutely zero relief. The second time I took them was during my bout with kidneys stones a few months ago. Same thing, no relief.

But, when they mainlined me with Dilaudid after the log splitter accident which was right before the kidney stones I was in heaven.

Hey Wheele I remember the lude days. You nailed the panty thing dead on. Then along came ecstasy.
