When you start using them for that reason-you're in trouble!!!!!!!!
And believe me, it's hell getting out of it.
DON'T take it everyday.
You can get dependant in a matter of months, and the withdrawl is like coming off of heroin. These pain killers are just a low-grade heroin actually.
One of my good friends and coworker...recently went through 20 vicodin in 4 days...on top of a 12 pack of ephedrine....he is management....I dont tend to get addicted to **** like that...I use it when I need it. But he has made a daily thing about it. Just worried he wont be able to stop.
maybe u could get your co-worker to read some of the horror stories on this forum. and then he'd be a little more careful about using so much.
