Gys, no addict. Got a back pain duilling very annoying. Have 1 vicodin and cuple of 800mg ibuprofen.

Now i just read that ibuprofen or vicodine has negative effects on muscle recovery.

Not an addict, i wont get addicted, pain is almost gone, just dont want to deal with it today.

Thanks!
 
whats your question bro......which one? that is up to you, but it's like comparing creatine to anadrol.....two different extremes

if you can get by on the advil go with it....as for the opiates(vicodin) having a neg effect on muscle, that is completely untrue, along with teh advil.....i know many bodybuilders that were huge and addicted to opiates such as oc, vics, and even nubain is on that level.....so quit worrying and take you an advil!

if you only got one vic and only have pain today....then i'd take the vic!
 
be careful once you start it's hard to stop i mean what are you going to the next time your back hurts or the next time not trying to preach i just know for experence it dosen't take long to from a habit
 
ibu would be 100x safer IMO.

I even take 2ish ib's pre and post workout if I know i'm going to bust it hard in the gym that day.
 
dont worry guys, no addictive personality here. I have access to preety much anything. But i love my body, i do party, but no addictions here. Just wont let it happen. i have several friends addicted to several things so i dont wanan be in thier shoes.
 
Vico's are fun but I think its to hard to get motivated and almost impossible for me to get a good pump while on em. I used to take them all the time and started to feel like they were my multi V but when I ran out I kinda was dissapointed. haha. Who cares they barely fuck you up anyway. I would just not take them because they make me a downer but for some people they feel speedy... but still I cant admagine your body to react sharp and powerful while on them.

Ibuprofen bro. You dont wanna mess with Vicodine. I usually take 1x 600mg tab and thats it. Pain goes away.

i recently developed a groin hernia and i wasw prescribed vicoden until surgery even if a take 4 or 5 at once they do nothing for me. never really taken any pain medicine before. i know people get addicted to them i just cant see why, they make you feel wierd for about 20 minutes and then nothing atleast for me.
 
Go with a Dr bro, stay with the Ibuprofen till you get some proffesional adivise, and besides Ibuprofen helps with the inflamattion of the tissue...

hope it helps
 
ibuprofen is a safe effective option. it is safe to use even in geriatric patients in whom losing muscle is a very big deal. whatever you ahve read about muscle growth hinderence is likely very exaggerrated. if it were a clinically significant problem, i would know about it, and it has never, ever come up in the context of muscle sparing. take it at will.

Hook me up!!!
 
Vicodin is 5mg hydrocodone/500 mg acetominaphen(tylenol). Ibuprofen is a better anti-inflammatory. Dosage is based upon your weight. Take dose every 6 hours as needed. Vicodin is not an anti-inflammatory, so it would not remedy your problem. It just masks your pain with the narcotic.
 
Vicotin over ibuprofen for pain anyday. One caveat though is the addicting side effects of Vicodin. You said that you aren't an addict and that's not an issue. You also said you had only one Vic though right? Go with the ibuprofen then. One vic isn't enough for long term pain. However, if you ae looking for a muscle relaxer go with flexoral.
 
With one Vicodin and only like 8 Ibuprofen, taking all these are not gonna do squat to your health. I'd just take the 800mg Ibu's and save the Vicodin for when any pain really comes around (on top of the Ibuprofen).

Most Vicoden has acetaminophen as well. You can get Vicodin in a cough syrup without the Aceto. You may want to ask for that instead.

Personally, for pain, i'd take Vicodin over Ibu's any day. In fact, Ibu's hardly do shit for me. They work more as a anti-inflammatory. Yes, you can get addicted on Vic's, but i'd rather go with no pain than sitting around all day hurting. If you are getting them from an MD, then you will only have a certain amount anyway, unless he keeps giving refills.

I usually keep a bottle of both around in case something arises. You can not plan pain, so I usually keep them for them unexpectant emergencies. Of course, i'm not a downer freak like I was when younger, so I don't ever get urges to take any for recreational use anymore. Besides, Vic's make my nose itch like a mother fucker now.

A buncha fucking loser druggies on this board. You should all be banned because roids are ok and all other drugs are for losers.

You should've cooked up the Vicodin in a spoonful of spit and mainlined it in your neck for max relief. You can always mash up the ibuprofen and snort em.

It's not an "addictave personality" that gets one hooked on opiates. It's a chemical dependency established at the mu receptors at the base of the brain. You have no control over what happens at these receptors, provided your not on any anti-opiate meds.

With that being said, the typical Dr Phil -I can't make you quit using drugs for you-type of solution to overcome PK addiction is bullshit. Sometimes free will just isn't enough to quit using for many peeps-which is why nobody is 100% immune to becoming addicted to pain meds. It's funny how some people can be so in control over certain areas of their lives, and have so little control in other areas. Look at the fat ass Fortune 500 executive-he's got a tight game in the making $$$ dept, yet he doesn't have the ability to put down the fork. Then on the other end of the spectrum is the highly disciplined champ BB, that's so self absorbed and socially illiterate it's impossible for him to even hold a job.

I had a Dr. tell me ibuprofin will give people bleeding ulcers. He's an old timer and said when he was signing death cert. in OK City he saw a ton of bleeding ulcers leading to death caused by ibuprofin. He's the first Doc I've ever heard drop an F bomb while seeing a patient. Crazy old guy, extremely opionated so I guess use some discretion to what he says.

hello
heres another topic that i am sorry to say im a pro at well first off the chances of you becomeing addicted are real slim unless you had a prior addiction to pain narcotics and you can look that up.... but i was on some seriouse shit like 50 mg transdermal patches , oxycottin, methadone- because it was cheaper and i maxed out insurance meds allowance, percocet, loratab, vicodin, lot of shit huh... well to say the least i was taking lots of these pills all perscribed but now i take a few very few to help with muscle pain every so often due to my back that ive had 2 surgeries on...all in all i feel great and am going back to work this month with no limitations.....

the vicoden really helps with the muscle pain, dont be worried about addiction, you might get addicted if you taking very high doses for a very long time......

hope ya feel better
 
Where did you see that Ibupro inhibits muscle gain? I wanna see that study, never heard of that, and I take Advil quite a bit for headaches....

rizz
 
be careful bro. you body will build tolerance to the vics in no time at all which will force you to take more at once to get the same pain relief. that is how the addictions start for a lot of people. what strength are the ibs? how's your stomach on that stuff? screws me all up and caused a bleed.

If you understand the concept "addictive personality," then you probably have one.
It takes one to know one.

That's exactly right. Desire is the starting point of all achievement.
Some don't give a shit about money.
Some don't give a shit about health.
Actually, most people want it all. But, how bad do they want it?
However, most people do not want to be drug addicts and those that are usually do not have anything that they want.
So, neither the fat Fortune 500 exec (name one!) or a champ BB are addicited to vicodin. If they were, they would not be anything.
Maybe they are addicted to achieving their goals and may have addictive personalities, but their energies are channeled in a positive direction, not a dead-end drug addiction.

I'll get over it I guess. lol At least my karma : post ratio is pretty high-especially when you consider the fact that I never paid $$$ for them.

I wish they were that enthusiastic on the pro drug threads where guys do really say stuff like drugs are for losers(except for roids, of course).
 
I knew you were joking from the rec drugs thread the other day, but I wanted to play devil's advocate with my post. Though what I said is true.

Vicoden is a brand. All Vicoden has Aceto in it.
Vidoden is 5mg of hydrocodone mixed with Aceto.(tylenol)

yes, you can get hydrocodone with out aceto in it, / not Vicoden

:)

I know you were joking BC
 
Ibuprofen is an anti inflamitory.....That means it will keep you from getting a full pump which we all know is essential to muscle recovery (the longer you hold the blood in your muscle the more muscle food your muscles get) So vic's are better aside during and after a workout (unless we are talking addictive side effects) because Vic's contain no anti inflamitories. Just the same active ingredient found in tylenol plus the opiate based "good" part. DONT TAKE IBUPROFEN UNTIL YOUR PUMP GOES AWAY!!! EVEN THEN ITS STILL GONNA KEEP AS MUCH NUTRIENTS AS POSSIBLE FROM REACHING YOUR MUSCLES!!!!!

Ibuprofens dont do sh*t when compared to Vicoden.. Ive been on 1000mg/Vics for years now(for lower back pain), and im not addicted to them. I dont know how people become so addicted to them. The only thing that comes to mind, if they had a previous addiction to narcotics. Vics make me tired as hell, and I usually take them in the evening or at bedtime..

I know Im not addicted. For one, I dont take them everyday as prescribed, otherwise I wouldnt be able to function and work. And two, when I do take them, I take them towards the end of the day and at night. They make me too tired to do anything.. I get prescribed Norco.. Less tylenol, and more hydrocodone.. I had the Vics ES, but they upset my stomach way too much..So my doc put me on the Norco!

Yes, my fault on that..10mg! With the norco I dont even have to eat anything or coat my stomach.. Those Vic ES were brutal, gave me upset stomach all the time and the sh*ts..
 
if youve been on them for years......... then try to quit and tell me your not addicted. Chemical dependancy is a subtle foe!!!

That's so true, for whatever reason.
When I was 17 I had my wisdom teeth pulled and the Vicodin gave me a terrible stomach ache, to where there's no way you would take it for a high.

Isn't denial the 1st sign of addiction?


Only 12 steps to go...lol
 
Vics doesnt really fuck me up at all. I get a little buzz but hardly noticable. Take a 40mg Oxycotin and you will be straight up incompasitated for 8 hours. IBP doesnt do a damn thing for me. Although if I take a 75 and drink a little bit Im likely to black out and make a big ass outta myself.
