Oxycodone Withdrawal: How Are Painkillers Bad for You?
Question by : how are painkillers bad for you?
my friend took a 5mg percoset to get high. besides being highly addictive, what bad do painkillers do to you?
Best answer:
Answer by CAT
Pain killers besides being highly addictive can also hurt certain organs. For example vicodin is acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ocycodone acetaminophen clears your body through the liver, if you take to much or even the directed amount for long periods of time you can damage the liver, usually if a healthy person has their yearly physical and blood work the blood work will show if the liver enzymes are not right. Also the hydrocodone in the vicodin can eat holes in the lining of your stomach causing ulcers to form. If you don’t take pain meds on a normal or regular basis and only take them for a short time while injured you probably won’t have any problems. Also what happens with those types of drugs is your body becomes tolerant to them, which means instead of 1 5/500 vicodin to kill pain you need 2, then after awhile 3, and so on. Yes, I will confess and say I liked the way it made me feel the first time I took vicodin, but the more I used the less euphoric it became.

Addiction to Painkillers: Need Advice About Painkiller Addiction.?
Question by KATTIN: Need advice about painkiller addiction.?
Is there anyway I can stop taking them myself without having to go to some kind of rehab? I’ve been addicted for about 4 years , no one knows this , not even my fiance family or friends. Truthfully I enjoy taking them ( although I really have no pain anywhere.) They have become part of my daily routine . I feel like I can cope with anything as long as I have them , Yet, I feel I can handle nothing without them. I spend almost all of my weekly paycheck on them. Please someone tell me that there is hope for someone as pathetic as myself. I’m afraid if I dont try to stop on my on that I will end up going to rehab. I dont want to do that because honestly I couldn’t deal with the humilation and embarrasment from my family and friends not to mention the possibility of losing my job!
