Vicodin...?!


Question: a friend was telling me today that vicodin just somehow alleviates pain by somehow just diverting your attention to it. it doesn't actually numb the pain or directly affect the pain I don't buy this. i think it actually diminishes the pain itself and doesnt just "take ur mind off it". i took a pill today to i have first hand experience.

how does it get rid of pain? and why is it said to be so addictive?

Vicodin is an opioid and tylenol together, both alleviate pain. He was probably just thinking about the opioid, which can give kind of a disconnected feeling.

Opioids can be addictive.

u really shouldnt be taking vicodin unless its prescribed to u.....really im thinkin' that wasnt one of ur best choices.......
ask dr.house

Vicodin is a CNS central nervous system depressant. Which means it kinda numbs the pain receptors in your spinal cord that shoot and tell your brain when you are in pain. Then there is opiate (opium) in it which I think helps numb you a little more but mainly helps relax you. Opiates can be highly addictive cause they make you feel good. If you are someone who is a substance abuser or who has problems with drugs. I would only take pain killers if you where really hurt and needed them from your doctor.

idk but it sounds bad....
