If you are going to take vicodin regularly, try to find the kind without too much Acetominophen (Tylenol) in it. That stuff will rot your liver in large quantities.

If you are going to take multiple pills at once this is even more important. Try to find the kind with only 325 mg's of acetominophen, and try not to take more than 1000 mg's of it at a time.

1500mgs of acetaminophen at once is ok IIRC

Re: Vicodin / Drug Testing
 

That may be true for a random headache you get once every couple months. But I would strongly advise taking 1500 mg's of it everyday, for extended periods of time.

Re: Vicodin / Drug Testing
 

I had a cortoszone shot for a pinched nerve in my back. It took a ouple weeks to get it (had to get a CT scan, then an xray, then an MRI).

I was takin vicodin during all those exams prior to the shot and it didn't do shjt for me [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Vicodin / Drug Testing
 

Twice a week is probably be fine. Espiecially if you are only taking this amount once a day, not every 6 hours.

People who are on Pain meds usually take them everyday. When tolerance rises, they take more, etc. Sometimes people take upwards of 5000 mg a day. My OP was referring to these situations.

Oh ok, now I understand you.

I was under the impression that one could take around 2000-2500mgs of acetaminophen a day with no problems.

But yeah if you are talking about every 6 hours I can see how it would add up and after a couple of days your liver would have alot of work.
