Why am i not getting any benefits from hydrocodone (vicodin)?


Question:
Everyone talks about vicodin being a great drug to take because it gives you a good feeling apart from pain relief, I'm taking hydrocodone/apap, the liquid form, 10-15ml per dose, and i'm not getting any feeling at all, why is this?

Answers:
most likely because your body is starting to build up a tolerance to the vicodin try either doubling your dose or switching to percocet something your body isn't use too...good luck and i know that feeling your talking about it...it's great...
Because you don't need it!!!!!!!
thats the point

sort of a mild numbness, so the pain is just a mild sensation instead of wicked pain

don't save em up for the first snow storm of winter or anything like that
I'm taking the pill form but I'm guessing your problem is that you are having is a tolerance against it.
because u don't need it and if ur addicted which i'm guess im guessing u r, u won't be relief
Could be that you have a high tolerance for medication. If you have been on pain meds for a long period, you may be used to them and they do not effect you like they would someone who does not take them often. Another reason could simply be chemistry. Everyone is different and has different reactions to medication. I took 1 tab of Vicodin and it knocked me out for 24 hours, then I was confused for 2 days (felt better though). I rarely EVER take an Aspirin let alone pain meds so my body reacted strongly.
Try asking your Doctor for a different chemical combination.
There are lots of possible reasons. Everyone reacts differently to meds. Maybe you just don't respond to it, maybe it's not strong enough, or maybe you have a high tolerance to it. Personally I hate it because I am allergic to it.
