I wouldn't lift while on pain killers, especially vicodin. that stuff is strong.
take the week off...
Not sure where to post this but here it goes:
I recently got my wisdom teeth pulled. Lots of pain and swelling. I haven't been able to eat solid foods or get into the gym for about a week. But today is the first day I am going to try. My question is concerning the drug vicodin which I take for the pain in my mouth. Is it bad to lift while on this stuff? I am really itching to get in and do a chest workout today, but without the vicodin the pain is pretty unbearable. Thanks.

Take 800 mg Ibuprofen and no vicodin before working out, and take the vicodin after the workout. It doesn't hurt that freakin' bad.

Ibuprofen is the thing.
Ibuprofen will actually help you more than vicodin will with dental pain, as while you have alot of nerve pain the majority of your pain is the result of swelling.
Next time you have any work done request vicoprofen instead. It works much better for things like wisdom teeth. While vicodin and acetaminphen both amplify the effects of one another you definately need an anti-inflammatory to reduce that kind of pain effectively.
In short... yeah! Ibuprofen good.
As a former dental assistant, I agree with ibuprofen 100%. 800 mg will do the trick, and it's ten times better than vicodin. They gave me vicodin after I had my wisdom teeth pulled, but I couldn't take it, and it didn't kill the pain very well.
vicodin is so addicitive too....
I dont see how you even have the drive to workout while taking vicodin. When i was taking that stuff after getting my wisdom teeth pulled, all i wanted to do was sit and giggle at cartoons all day.
Vicodin never worked for me. I used to take like 3 and not feel a thing. So i ended up giving my RX to a friend. I prefer stronger stuff like Percocets.
yes he should take the week off, but not b/c of the Vics, b/c of the surgery. I love training on painkillers thou dude, especially oxycotton. I could pop 20 7 mg Vics and not feel a damm thing, but I guess thats just me.. lol. I wouldn't lift while recovering from the wisdom teeth, I don't know how good it is to be straining and all that. Don't write off the painkillers while training thou, I have broken many PRs on the Oxy my friends. That and the ephedrine is a great combo.I wouldn't lift while on pain killers, especially vicodin. that stuff is strong.
take the week off...ha ha,.. chyeeeeaaa

I get a completly opposite effect--it knocks me right out...plus I swear I can feel a buzz from it.
maybe I am just crazy...![]()
I thought I was the only one...when I took some prior to my surgery, I could'nt sleep for shit. Plus, I wanted to get up and do stuff constantly, I couldn't sit still...Same way with the Percs.Originally Posted by JLB001
Wierd.

i was still screwed up from my anestesia when i got my bottle of vicodin. i ended up reading the directions wrong and ... well, that day was interesting.
a lot of people pop V's for fun but they forget that it is also loaded with extra strength tylenol which is awful for your liver. if you are just doing them for recreational use, use oxycodon, not vicodin and save your liver (yes it is a bit off subject but if i can save a few livers in the process, so be it)
Oxy is very addictive, he is right. you gotta plsy it safe with the opiads fa sho
vicodin is simply 5 mg of oxy along with 500 mg of tylenol. how is oxy alone more addicting. any how, recreational use of pain killers and bodybuilding have trouble coexisting.

Nope, that's what happens to me too.Originally Posted by sentricyphen

Please be careful with that much Ibuprofen. It has the tendancy to cause stomach ulcers, especially if you have little food in your stomach.

Incorrefct.
Vicodin is an opoid based off of Codeine. Codeine is synthesized into dihydrocodeine which is hydrogenated to make hydrocodone, the main ingredient in vicodin.
Oxycontin is based mainly off of codeine but is many times as powerful. Basically codeine is turned into codeinone which is turned into oxycodone. You can actually use the same processes to make oxymorphone.
Don't ask me how I know all this(okay... so I have directions how :P )
Btw, where do you get those pills? If you donīt mind me asking.Originally Posted by gr81

5 mg oxycodon is in vicodin, not oxycontin. when i abbreviated it to oxy, it was misunderstund.
note: it also depends on who's making the generic brand.
Again it is HYDROCODONE in Vicodin.
There is no OXY anything inside of Vicodin. Small difference in spelling, large differences in chemical makeup.
Oxycontin = Oxycodone
Vicodin = Hydrocodone
hey morons, Vicodin is NOT oxycontin (aka oxycotton), its hydrocodone and tylenol.vicodin is simply 5 mg of oxy along with 500 mg of tylenol. how is oxy alone more addicting. any how, recreational use of pain killers and bodybuilding have trouble coexisting.
Percocet is what contains OC, along with acetaminophen. OxyContin has nothing else in it and is much higher dosed. Vics and OC couldn't be more different.Vicodin is more along the lines of an average otc painkiller compaired to OC, which is more along the lines of morphine. thers quite a difference. Autarch knows what he's talkin about. Either way, getting into a habit of taking the painkillers is a slippery slope to say the least
yes I do mind V, thats how cats get in trouble boi.. its not that hard thou.Btw, where do you get those pills? If you donīt mind me asking.![]()
