I am wondering what type of physical problems one would have if they continued to abuse Vicodin and like pain killers over an extended period of time. I really would like some great and detailed information so i can show my boyfriend that he is ruining his body and maybe some advice and words from proffesional that know about these types of drugs can convince him more than I..thank you

I hope that your boyfriend sees before its to late that he is destroying his kidneys and liver. Medications are removed thru the body by means of the kidneys or liver. There are long term serious effects from the uses of these drugs.

Hi,

When I was taking Vicodin, it gave me horrific neuropathic pain all over my body. My body felt like it was ON FIRE all of the time.

It was awful. When the neurologist tried to give me anti-seizure meds for the neuropathic pain (traditional treatment for this kind of pain), they reacted with the Klonopin anti-seizure meds that I have taken for 15 years and I haven't been the same since. That was 7 months ago.

Then when his meds reacted with mine, he thought I was psychotic and gave me anti-psychotic meds which made me even worse!! Then he told me to go see a psychiatrist.

I'm sure you get the picture here. Tell your boyfriend not to take any chances. The narcotic he is taking may be working now, but it will have some serious consequences if he continues to take it in my opinion.

Ihope your boyfriend has listened to messages so far. I wanted to reply also my husband was on vicodin(hydrocodone) since March of this year and passed away in May due to pnemonia from taking them just that short time. It does give you the firey pain and it gets worse. It had my husband changing to a different person thathe didn't even like. It is not to late, get help to get off them slowly. God bless and hope this helps.

I too take vicodin 7.5 ES 2 to 4 per. day for the past 3 yrs. I do have good days where I don't need them at all but then I have days where I can't get by with out them. I had gastric bypass this past Aug.26th 2009 and this past week or so I have been having pain in my belly real bad pain. I stop taking them for 2 days and the pain went away and then I needed them yesterday and the pain came back real bad again last night. I take about 100 per. month and if I have to stop I have no problem with that at all I will have to try something new thats not as hard on me so any addvice will be well taken. thank You.

Please Help!!!!
