Question: Is taking 2 vicodin without a perscription bad.?
Is it really bad if 2 vicodins (500 mg....?) are taken and you aren't prescribed for them.? What will happen.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
If you weigh 100 lbs. or more you will be fine. Don't take any other pain killers (tylenol, ibuprofen etc.) you don't need to overload your liver or kidneys. It wouldn't hurt to drink extra water.
by the way, some pain killers can be addictive. You really should be careful not to take more than you need. Take really good care of yourself.Health Question & Answer

Double check all medical answers with a pharmacist or at least
on one of the better web sites like webmd
vicodin is really (in all cases) a combination medication
it comes in the form x/y
where x = hydrocodone
where y = acetaminophen
you can look up the ratio's on your own
a usual vicoden will be
5mg/325 for example, or 5 mg hydrocodone and 325mg acetaminophen
Usually the dose you worry about is the 5mg hydrocodone
because it is a opioid and is the "real" painkiller part of the med
Hydrcodone also reduces your respiration (breathing)
There are, as with anything limits.
two times 5 milligrams of hydrocodone is really no big deal
two times 325 milligrams of acetominophin again is no big deal
however, be careful
too much acetominophein (tylenol) will cause potential fatal liver damage if you take enough of it. I think 4000 milligrams (4 grams) is ththe absolute max you should ever take per day
DO NOT DRINK WITH THIS STUFF -- EVER
I think you are Ok with the information you gave here
but do not take anything I said at face value - check with a pharmacist - just call one on the telephone
Hope this helps a bitHealth Question & Answer

well its illegal to do that. Both you and the person who gives you the medication could get into serious trouble but given you don't have any allergies and you are an adult you should be fine physically. it'll make you sleepy and you might have other side effects. I have vicodin by prescription and i take 2 500mg tablets when I need it.Health Question & Answer
the side effects, other than allergies, are sleepiness and tummy aches. if you are a normal weight for an adult, you should be fine. dont take any other pain killers though. drink some extra water though. you should be fine and remember that its not safe to take other people's meds all the time.Health Question & Answer
