MY FRIEND-WITH THE WATSON 825'S

I posted this on the other thread..but I can't get ahold of her. I am now really worried. Can she OD on this combination? I re-read my post..I shouldn't say they are not like Vic's I have seen..the shape and all is the same yes..but not the number. The 825. So I can see how she would think they were Vics. I do not know where she got them, I wish I did. I would be on the phone to this person! I am worried about her now till no end. I swear some people who just want $$$$ will give up just about anything to someone, really ticks me off. I am worried about the combination now is what is bothering me. She thinks they are Vics and if she takes them like she does the Vics..??? I am just really freaking out here now. I wish she would call me!!!! But she knows how upset I was..I imagine that is my fault. cont'd

My other response to my last post is below:


OK..so then she has Percosets? I am going to call her! I bet when she said they were vics was b/c of the oxycodone thing. Hell I don't know the differences between the 2, or 3. I am only familiar with my vicdin.

I hope she hasn't taken one. If they are stronger than my Vics, which is also what she takes. ( But not for pain) Then she will probably end up in a jam. Now Im really worried. What if she od's. I know for a fact she had vics this morning, because she told me she took her last 4 all by this afternoon today.
So this means she has those in her system then probably has already taken one if not more of these specially if she thinks they are the vicodin. I need to try and get ahold of her.

Thank you everyone!!

I guess it is my fault for getting upset with her. I mean she knows that is not MY normal reaction to her taking pills. I mean how could it be, I was/am hooked too! But after reading all this in here the past month I have come to see things better. I know she was shocked at my response..but I guess I should have let her know a bit more of what I have been doing with my own addiction. Now I am afriad it may be too late.

What if that was a sign for me? For me to stop her and help her, and I didn't???

Now I am feeling like SH**.

I forgot to mention also...she doesn't even know how bad my addiction is..she just knew I took them. Would ask all the time, I was always too greedy to say Yes to her. Told her I am prescribed these for MY back pain and cannot afford to toss them out to someone else...and the limit on dates I could get them, etc. She just assumed I took them for my back.

Maybe I should have just said yes tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used Percs and Hydros at the same time for months on end.  I would take 3-4 10mg percs and 2-4 7.5 mg hydros.  Sure, you can OD on anything, but I wouldn't worry too much about OD on the combo.  Just my opinion.

Thanks for your response! True, you can OD on anything I guess. Just concerned about her intake of the hydros then adding in this med that she has no idea what it is, ya know?

Thanks for the response, I feel a little better but still wish I could speak to her.

Thanks again!

Hey there;
I was reading some of your other posts..just NOW realized I was talking to the same person, LOL.

I am sorry about your fall. It's so much easier to give in isn't it? We think ahh what the hell, we can do it. Never works that way, and we know it.

If you were substituting the vics for the percs...then they must make you feel the same? I am assuming? My friend probably can't even tell the difference then I am thinking.

I am just guessing, I have never tried anything but vics. But if I took a percocet I would think I would know! But maybe that isn't always true huh?

Also..I would advise on telling you dr...they can help you the best hun.

The Percs make you feel pretty much like the Vics but a little more intense.  It seems to take less of them.  Oxycodone (percocet) is a stronger narcotic analgesic than Hydrocodone (vicodin).  Docs usually prescribe Vicodin because they think it is less powerful and thus less addicting than Oxycodone.  Oxycodone is prescribed for moderate to severe pain.  It is stronger, but gives one the same feeling as Vicodin.  They both have the same method of action, like any Opiate attacking the receptors in the brain.  I don't know how to put it, but, one Percocet makes you feel like you took 2-3 Vicodin.  Hope this helps.

Wow...yes it does thank you. I like I said I don't understand much of the drugs..only the hydro. Like oxycodone, oxycontin, etc..etc..all of it I thought was pretty much the same stuff.

So if she took say 2 of the oxycodone or whatever they are..the 825 ones, even though she took vics all day..she should be fine?

I am hopinh she calls me! I have left her 3 messages. I bet she went out. grrrrrrrrrrr.


Yes what you have said has cleared me up quite a bit. I just hope she is carefull with the rest of them, and I hope she did not get many!

Thanks again!
