    If they are 5's they wont do much. The 10's are a bit better.

Fine example why marijuana will never be fully legal, some organisms out there just cant handle it.
    That was hardly coherent.

There were days id find him laying in the middle of the floor passed out, i could slap him and not wake him up, even carried him and put him in the shower one time to wake him up. Your body adapts to the painkiller and stops producing it's own natural painkillers. Your body damages itself daily, just walking and joint movement would causes some level of pain that your body naturally deals with. When someone is addicted to this medicine and they stop, they feel like theyre in pain constantly.. Ive personally seen a grown man sit in the floor shaking and crying over not being able to get those pills. Dont underestimate them, theyre probably the worse drug in the US right now, mostly because theyre a wolf in sheep's clothing. Some people can take or leave them, myself... they make me sick to my stomach, i take 1-2 and i feel like i want to throw up. I broke my arm and didnt even finish my subscription because id rather feel the pain than be sick. There's no way around getting addicted to this drug, if you take it long enough, your body will adapt to it. It's not a mental addiction, its a chemical addiction, unavoidable.
    Sorry to hear about your friend man, I appreciate the word of caution though. What you're describing is what I read about; as such, I was hesitant to even start taking them in the first place. Three nights and still not sleep had me questioning this shit though.

    Yeah they're 5's. I would double up, but from what I hear I'm probably better off not sleeping then getting hooked on these inadvertently.

    For sure. The shitty thing about painkillers is that excess is not so clearly defined, so the doctors tend to be conservative, which leads some patients determine their own doses...

    These things are legit. Turned at the time my best friend into a completely different person. Started with a car accident, had some left over, took them for fun, got worse and worse and worse.... and literally turned into the meth addict type scare stories you see on TV. He'd leave out notes and shit saying that he didnt commit suicide if they found him dead, to tell his parents he was sorry and that it was an accident because he knew he was going to take extreme amounts and couldnt stop. I tried to help him, tried to get him in rehab..... turned him into a completely different person. Life literally revolved around taking those pills. Didnt want to do anything else but get high. I honestly wouldnt believe it if i didnt see it with my own eyes. After years of trying to help him, eventually had to just cut ties. theyre no joke.....

    as for the no sleeping problem.......... vicodin makes me sick to my stomach, soma is what ive taken in the past for help with injury. This isnt healthy and you do it at your own risk, but if pain is keeping me awake, i take 2-3 soma and drink 1 beer. The combination of the 2 knocks you out cold. Soma is addictive also, not something id take more than 2-3 days in a row. Also, im no doctor...... and im sure no doctor would advise you to drink beer with any medication.... but that works for me. I'm 6'2 250lbs, so adjust your dose accordingly.

    Good lord. Precisely, people think you take it recreationally and it will be fine because eventually you will run out... People don't account for the fact that once you become a drug addict you go into survival mode and life revolves around your addiction... so you will get more one way or another.

    Yeah I'm hoping the muscle relaxers I pickup at the pharmacy tomorrow will be the end of my no sleep, but if not I will definitely ask my doctor about Soma. Personally, no sleep isn't a huge deal, but falling asleep at work in a big corporation lands me in a word of shit.
