In reply to How to not throw up Vicodin?, posted by cgd092 on February 21, 2007, at 18:15:39
> I was just prescribed a few Vicodin for some physical pain. I tried it once many years ago and threw it up 20 min. after I took one pill. So I assumed I'm one of those people who gets nauseous with narcotics. Is there any way to get it into your stomach a gentler way? Such as dissolving some of it in water and drinking it? Or is it not a matter of the stomach being sensitive but more like when it gets into your blood stream your body/brain detects a "poison" and vomits because of that way? If it's purely a stomach thing, it seems like there should be a trick to ingest it without nausea. Thank you for any ideas!

>I don't know about any other way to get opiates into your system, but I share your 'problem.' In my younger years, before I got help for my psychological issues, I self-medicated with drugs.
I did heroin once, and spend about an hour puking my brains out... Never touched the stuff again.Couple years later, I broke my foot. I was prescribed Lortabs. I took one, and the same thing, puked my brains out. I called my doc who gave me a low dose of vicodin to help ease the pain, same thing, puke city.
I think that there are some of us who cannot tolerate opiates.
Sorry I don't have any suggestions, but I do relate.
