If I took them this way I would get high and then have withdrawals and get depressed. Unless you are a really uppitty person, be careful. The 4 Vicodins are going to wear off within oh say 6 to 8 hours (you can look it up many places) and then the high will go and any pain relief as well. Taking these this way is just all wrong. If you have persistent pain and Vicodin does work, you would need to retake some every 4 to 6 or 8 hours or basically you are going with nothing those inbetween days and of course the pain will come back.

Why take them all at once.  Sounds like you are using them just to get high.
