That surprises me about Vicodin because Imitrex isn't a high at all. It makes you feel a little spacey but not high, i'd say. For me its downside is that it makes me feel sort of washed out the next day. Percodan gives a nice buzz, but it's very brief, and no buzz comes if you're taking it for extreme pain, is my experience. But your reaction to Vicodin reminds me of what happened with my friend who was in agony from some dental procedure, moaning and whimpering, and when I asked if she was up to date on the Percodan they'd given her a prescription for, or maybe could she take the next dose early since she was in such pain, she replied, "Are you insane? Do you think i'm going to waste Percodan on pain?!" Percodan is about the same as oxycondone, I think, and in August of last year i had to take tons of that for several weeks, following a period on a morphine drip, for a major back attack, and i got addicted. When I realized i was addicted, I chose to go off it cold turkey (not realizing what that would entail or how long it would take) and it was an absolute nightmare for almost three weeks. Followed by feeling very weak for a couple of weeks more. Like in movies about heroine addicts, all those symptoms, except that i wasn't lying on the hard floor of a prison cell. I completely missed Autumn of 2000. Now i know first hand what cold turkey withdrawal from a drug is. The odd thing about that experience is that I had no craving at all for the pills, though one would immediately stop the symptoms, i only craved the whole ghastly experience to be over. The other odd thing is that there had been no pleasure in taking tons of oxycodone at all. I guess because i was taking it for pain. Ever since then i've wondered how addicts who've been through such withdrawal experiences once can voluntarily start taking drugs again knowing they'll have to repeat the horror. This amazes me. I'd guess that morphine/oxycodone withdrawal can't be much different from heroine withdrawal. The symptoms are the same.
