In reply to How about hydrocodone?, posted by SLS on November 19, 2003, at 11:32:31
i have to be blunt. one may experience a slighty "heady" feeling on hydrocodone (vicodine, percocet, etc.)....where you can sort of float aimlessly throughout the day, with a faint smile on your face....but it is can be one EVIL drug.
as with oxycotin, hydro and all the rest, can become extremely addictive. i work as a social worker with chemically dependent and mentally ill adults. one of my clients virtuallyh threw his life away, after becoming addcited to Oxy. he started with hydro and went from there. These pills are just another simple way to self medicate. Some chose cocaine, others alcohol, some weed. As far as i know, there have never been any studies done relating to the positive effects of hard core analgesics as use for antidepressants. Do yourself a favor, and see a psy. they'll be able to prescribe something safer and more effective. In the end, my client ended up going to jail 3 times for stealing prescriptions, stealing pills, forging, and dealing. His wife left him, and moved out of state with his beautiful 3 year old daughter. He subsequently od'd. All from one night of thinking the "high" off of oxy and vicodin could erase the pain of his mental illness...
