Am i psychicallly addicted?
On fridays and saturdays i like to eat about 10 Acetaminophen: Hydrocodone Tablets 500 mg, 5mg (vicodin) these pills are def a narcotic and 10 of them is nothing short of a BAG OF DOPE!! i also drink mabye 10 drinks on friday and 10 drinks on saturday with them at the club and when its time to go to sleep ill take two .5mg xanax its been a routine for me for the last 4 months or so and i enjoy it so much that i dont plan on stopping any time soon. The funny thing is that mon thru fri i can work and excercise normally and sleep semi normally. I dont really get psychical withdrawls like people talk about. i may get a little anxious but thats about it. I eat normal and joke around normal and can maintain my daily scedule without any drugs or alcohol at all. What will happen f i keep up this routine??

you say yoyu don't plan on quitting anytime soon so your not too worried , sounds like denial to me thats when it scary do you need those pills yes because you don't plan on quitting anytime soon I'd say your already there.

Has anybody done drugs only on the weekends and able to maintain a normal life? i know drug use is bad. i dont want it to sound like im bragging either.

I did this with drinking and pills for years. I used to only do them on weekends. Then I would do them a couple days aweek. Next theing I knew I was doing them 7 days a week.  At  first i was doing 1-2 at a time a couple times aday... then 2-3 a time... 3-4 and so on. At the end  I was doing anywhere from 7-15 10mg lorcets a time 4-5 times aday.

I dont think you have a real problem as of now.  If you are doing them just on the weekend and dont need them during the week you are not physicaly addictted. IMO you are metal addicted though. If I was you i would nib this in the bud now before you are another full blown addict. I will tell you form what im going through now you do not ever want to get to the point  when you have to go through WDs. I screwed my self up so bad im having wd and Im still doing 15 pills aday.

QUIT NOW PLEASE

The amount to tylenol you are ingesting would be my first concern. The maximum dose is 4000mgs in 24 hours.. Plus you are mixing it with alcohol.. liver is gonna fail if you keep up this pattern of use. Even if you don't become physically addicted you liver isn't gonna hold out forever. Please look at this behavior and try to change it now before its too late.

so your saying the maximum amount of pills i should be taking is 8 pills in 24hours right?

[FLaddict]

Yes thats the max.. and that is without alcohol in the mix adding that on top can stress the liver more. I would call your doc and get a liver enzyme test.. just to make sure if you have already done any damage you can catch it early.

I agree with all the posts. You don't sound addicted yet but if you stay on this path the yet will turn into addict and you do not want that. Read up on w/d symptoms and you will see. It is the worst thing I have ever physically and mentally gone through. And the mental is the worst cause it sticks for so long. In fact so long that I have yet to get to the other side.

What will happen f i keep up this routine??

Your liver will fail!

I have never taken more than 3000mg of Acetaminophen in any 24 hour period, I have made sure of that. As far as alcohol I have drank a drop at any point while taking the medication. Make sure you take care of yu liver it is the only one you are gonna get, and you really need it.
