Can vicodin cause permanent damage to a teens developing brain?

Can vicodin cause permanent damage to a teens developing brain?

im a 16 yr old male and last year (when i was 15) i was taking 2 vicodin a day (6 hours apart never at one time) for 3 months (7.5/750 mg) but then i stopped (that was 10 months ago) and i am now worried i damaged my mental/emotional growth as a teen. does it sound like i was abusing the vicodin? do you think i damaged my mental/emotional growth from the vicodin?? please reassure me because im still in puberty and i dont want this effecting my social skills or something.

I think your ok. That's pretty young but you weren't taking them for that long so I wouldn't stress about it too much. It's great that you stopped because that easily could of spiraled out of control. Good for you for quitting. Don't get back into it, trust me. Please..even though your not taking them anymore keep reading some of these forums so u can see what CAN happen and WILL happen if you take opiates(pain killers) regularly.

If they were not being prescribed by a Dr for a medical condition, then yes, it would be considered drug abuse..

You're still in puberty?  Okay...Well,you didn't do any damage as best as I can tell by your writing. If you were taking the pills for-no-good-reason then yes,that's abuse so don't do that anymore.

You've already asked this question here. Are you obsessed with this? Calm down and have a good rest of your youth,okay?
