Do you know if hydrocodone i.e. Vicodin can be found? Brought 100 7.5's w/me 3 yrs. ago now down to 15. I only use as last resort when back spasms will not stop. Oddity is there is no euphoria when using for extreme pain.

Yeah the Tramadol simply provides no relief for me whatever the reason.
Morphine vials always on hand for some SERIOUS pain like a broken bone
but a lil over the top for back pain.

I'll ask @ my fav pharma soon enough. Sometimes the response is ''no have''.
Has nothing to do with availability. Maybe they had but are out. Ya never know.
I've asked, ''Can you order for me? I'll pre-pay''.
That always gets an incredulous look.
Like I have a second head sprouting from my shoulder.

i'm surprised tramadol provides any relief, or even HIGH, for anybody, to be honest. :)
only good for headaches, far as my response goes.

dihydrocodeine (DHC, dicodin) is ideal for pain and a decent high even.
you just gotta chew on it good before you chug it down with a beer to break the slow release matrix is all.
wouldn't bother with outrageously overpriced morphine and roxies.
oh yeah, and if you overdo it you'll get this histamine reaction where you'll be itching like mad, so have an antihistamine handy too.

Picked up box of 20 DiCodin L. P. 60 for $10. 1/2 tab shut the pain down rather well & smart quick. :hattip:

They also had 30mg. morphine sulfate @ $4.00 a pop.
