I take them sporadically for bulging discs, not recreationally.   But they are not my own,  If and when I need one I go to a friend.  I want to know cause I get randomly tested at my job.

The amount of time any drug can be detected in one's system can vary from person to person and test to test. It certainly can also depend on the amount of the drug taken and when it was taken relative to the time of the test. Keeping in mind that there is no 100% hard and fast rule for how long a drug will be in one's system, Vicodin can stay in your system for approximately 5 days after use.

You may develop a tolerance for them and a 'normal' dosage won't work. You may develop a dependency on them. There are many health problems you could encounter such as liver damage. You know they aren't prescribed as a sleep aid don't you?

Don't know which ones you have, but there are some really comfortable ones out there that don't put your nuts in a bind.  If you enjoy them, wear them.  They are comfortable and chances are, there are a number of people who would want to see you in them.  I wouldn't brag as there are always a number of people who don't understand the subject or are just opinionated differently. Don't offent, but do enjoy.

They are not illegal drugs first of all.  Secondly, when you take the test they'll ask if you're taking any medications.  You can tell them up front that you are taking over the counter medications.  I doubt they'll even show up on the test.

YES you will learn to rely on them and if you don't take them you will get one. And if you take too many it can cause them too. \n\nMy friend and ex co worker had this problem.

Yeah I agree. I've been saying for ages that if we have a bladder control problem, indigestion, AIDS, HIV, herpes, hemoroids, etc. then you have probably went to the doctor for these problems. Once there I'm sure the doctor gave you medicne for this. Why do they feel the need to advertise for this sort of stuff. Like if they didnt advertise tampons no one would use them? Yeah right! They need to get real.

What assumptions? That you are ADD/HD?  That is the primary reason for use, that is not an assumption.  If that is not the "assumption" you are refering to then you would know that there is one way to obtain a controled substance, which what you are trying to obtain is.  See a doctor or take the chance of seeing the police, you pick!

bad idea.  get them properly by going to an actual doctor and getting an actual prescription and go to an actual pharmacy to get the pills.  if you order them online you may end up with sugar pills that don't do anything or, worse, some other kind of meds that what you wanted, maybe not even legal, or drugs that are contaminated with something, and either of those last two things could kill you.

Positive, no.\n\nI tried them.  They made me very jittery, and shaky.  I just didn't feel right.  \n\nI wouldn't recommend them.

I wouldn't worry about it.  When I used to have them, they always lasted 7 days.  Gosh, that was always a really long week.

You don't want to settle anything until you are sure there will be no long term effects. This happenend to me and I ended up with degenerative disc disease on my vertabraes. Get it check out.Better safe than sorry....Good Luck

Either you choose pills (for example) to treat your headache where the L.D. 50 is known through animal testing and the risks have been observed and classified...or you go for an all-new non-animal-tested product...which as been given to a few humans in "low" doses (whatever that may mean since "high" doses might just be 2x the low dose and testing higher would be dangerous)...I'll go for the first option.

There is another solution without operation: Go for a manual one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. The effect is, that the pressure on the discs is distributed much better - so the herniated discs may recover completely.\n\nJust - the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. It's really worth travelling far.

I take one everyday, but you really need to check with your doctor if you are going to take it indefinetly. I use the capsules.

In terms of your disc herniation, it is doubtful that it will disqualify you. A large number of the human population has asymptomatic disc herniations confirmed by MRI studies on asymptomatic patients. Further MRI studies on cadavers, in which during life- had no complaints of back pain. It is estimated that some 30-40 % of the population have disc herniations. Furthermore there is absolutely no clinical correlation between size (mild/moderate/marked) of the herniation and severity of the patient's pain. \nRegarding your steroid. If at some point of time the pain becomes too great, whereupon all conservative treatment methods have failed. Sure, go with the steroid. A steroids main purpose is to inhibit inflammation- because inflammation results in pain. Inflammation is somewhat good in that its real purpose is to move "cells" to the area to help repair. If you INHIBIT this process, you in effect INHIBIT healing. (ice slows the process down some whilst decreasing pain). Steroids have also shown to result in periarticular osteoporosis ( slight bone loss at the point of injection). Spinal decompression makes sense as your first line of treatment. Think of your disc like a jelly doughnut. Some your jelly has leaked out. The jelly is irritating surrounding nervous tissue--> pain. Decompression causes a negative vaccuum in that disc to help it suck the jelly back in. If your chiro is good... he will then start you off with some stabilization exercises to help with the pain and future occurances of pain.
