a lil help?

[majestic]

hi. kinda new here. just had a question. i took one m367 10/325 hydro about an hour ago and im kind of having anxiety over it. is this normal? my heart is beating fast, and my limbs are getting a kind of cold and "bloodless" feeling. never felt this before in the few time i have tooken hydro. feel silly for sounding so paranoid but... any input at all would be appreciated.

Anxiety over taking any prescription for the first time is pretty normal. The best thing you can do is just to learn everything you can about new pharmaceuticals to alleviate and fear.


So just lay down and relax. You are going to be just fine.

First of all, don't incriminate yourself, use SWIM (someone who isn't me) or something similar.

It could just be anxiety over taking a drug SWIY is not used to. 10mg of hydrocodone is not a large dose, so do not worry about overdose.

is swiy 100% positve this is what swiy thinks it is? what does it look like and what does it say on it? swim would be glad to glad to help swiy identify this pill as it definately could be something else according to what swiy is feeling, esp. because hydrocodone is not the most likely drug to cause these feeling. years ago swim got pills that looked just like hydrocodone pills and were not, they were some heart pill. it's better safe than sorry.

It is definately hydrocodone

"White tablets bisected on one side
and impressed "M367" on the other side"

Norco 10/325 most definately.

(Unless someone purposefully went out of thier way to get a press with the exact same stamp and make fake hydrocodone tablets, which I doubt very much)

[JaWill88]

that is a scary reaction and if i was swimajestic i don't know if i would continue to take. opioids should reduce anxiety, make swiy feel warm and cozy, and swim thinks but not entirely sure they slow down heart rate. were these the exact same pills swiy took before??

[majestic]

not the exact ones. they were white oblong small. they said m367 and where bisected. i looked them up before i posted this. they said generic 10/325. after some time the anxiety wore off. i guess my concern was if it was somewhat normal to have that reaction sometimes. because normally that doesn't happen. also i was wondering if maybe it was because they were generic.

apreciate that. i have had the tendancy to be sensitive to medication in the past. even cold medicine like nyquil.

thank you very much. just out of curiosity, what would be a dose that would be considered a possible overdose?

[majestic]

also why would someone advise another to take tums with hydros? would that be to calm nausea? thanks again for all the help.

[rocksmokinmachine]

I could not find any information on the LD50 (the dose at which 50% of all test animals die)

But I would say 20mg (If 10mg did not affect SWIY) would be safe recreational starting dose for a non-tolerant person.

Here is a complete list of opiod doses for future reference

I am not aware of what 'tums' are, but cyclizine can help with nausea associated with opioids.

tums is the brand name of an antacid used primarily to cure ailments of upset stomache

someone told me to drink grapfruit juice and take tums

This thread should answer that question for you

In short, there are ways to use every last milligram to its full potential.

[imyourlittlebare]

Swim used to feel that way. But then once the warmth hits its all good. However, some people are prone to getting anxious and dysphoria from pills. Small minority. And this is due to brain chemistry. So perhaps if it doesnt go away. that medicine isnt the medicine for swiy

Grapefruit juice will potentiate the opiate high for some, cyclizine is a better option for sickness.
