    I had major orthopedic surgery about 10-12 years ago. They gave me as much oxy as I wanted. A little too much as it turned out.

    i just had surgery and after 5 days of oxy, I took one hydrocodone to wean me and tylenol now. Loved the dreams. Wife was getting concerned. I was fine except for the little creatures that kept running around on the floor
    I never had any troubles with opiate painkillers other than liking them quite a bit. No nausea, itching, weird dreams, etc. I got jars of the shit back in that different time.

    I used to get vicodin at the dentist. Now they say buy some Advil.

    I remember your toothless podcast from '11

    I've had three knee surgeries and taken home several bottles of Vicodin on doctors' recommendations. Each time I found that, while the buzz was interesting for the first pill or two, the industrial strength, anti-inflammant they also prescribed worked way better on its own as far as the knee pain. The tradeoff was that it also tied my stomach in knots but I found that preferable to dreaming away my days instead of enjoying the week+ of lounging and taking in all that TV with a clear head.

    I guess I'm fortunate in that I never cared for the opioid high. I've seen a lot of people abusing the shit like it's no more serious than weed. My brother and his wife were taking them recreationally for years...even finding ways to import from Mexico. It was sad and worrisome for me but luckily they seem to have moved on from that phase with no lingering effects.

    I guess I've been lucky too. My addiction to booze and weed has always been a better high than legal opiodes

    Same here minus the booze. I used to like it but have a hard time drinking enough to get hammered anymore. I just get so sleepy...

    I spent a couple of years bashing the way people have changed weed since the stores all opened. I compared the search for more and more potency to chasing the dragon and resisted the super high THC (like 30%) bud. I flat refused to have anything to do with extract oils, dabs or wtf ever that shit is, etc.

    Now I do it too. My tolerance is so through the roof that I have to laugh at myself for the attitude I had. I definitely can't claim any high ground on the matter of drug use with where my weed habit has gotten to.

    All four wisdom teeth out? "Take some ibuprofin."

    Vasectomy? Nothing. Not even ice (balls of steel). Drove myself home.

    I was given vicodin when I was 16 for what was believed to be a stress fracture from football. Didn't do shit. Hurt just as bad, and didn't get me high at all. All encounters with opioid prescriptions since have been a waste. I've never really had any reaction to them, positive or negative. They go down the throat, and nothing's changed with me. Franny.

    Most powerful painkiller I've ever experienced is plain ol' aspirin coupled with a little adrenaline. I had four knee surgeries before my senior year in high school, never mind all of the minor injuries from being the most comically undersized football player ever, and most school days I limped around from class to class, barely able to get up out of my chair or lift my arms above my head, but pop four aspirin and gut it out through warmups, and I'd be full sprint for practice. Every game was four aspirin before warmups and three at halftime.

    I'm not sure I fit in around here: I'm the guy who had to rehab from a fucking aspirin addiction... I still sometimes dose up a bit with the ol' Vitamin A before a track day if I'm nursing one of my frequent old man injuries.

    I drove myself home from my vasectomy, too, after having the marcaine not work. Felt everything, down to my toes and up to my shoulder. Took all my willpower not to throttle the doc snipping my balls

    Vicodin works well with Jack Daniels, or so I recall from a root canal I had in 1992
