I wonder if the opioids had anything to do with the 'stroke'.

dicodin is pretty safe, unlike tramadol
typically lethal dose is associated with multiple drug use
i can't tell what the other shit is

I heard Tylenol can be dangerous if taken too regularly or in combination with certain drugs

The poor guy was either in severe pain or seriously into enjoying his medicines.... Wonder where they got the 'stroke idea' from....

Dicodin is pretty safe when you take just dicodin in the prescribed dose. He seemed to be on multiple drugs though. Dicodin is also known to be recreational drug because the Dihydrocodeine it contains is quite potent, about twice the strength of plain codeine. Experienced users are known to take 3-9 pills at a time, plus some other stuff to reduce side effects, usually anti-histamines.

But maybe the poor guy was just in extreme pain?

i take it for sciatica
60 mg is plenty. it is better for a cough than pain relief, though it metabolizes as morphine if my info is correct.
can't see the attraction as a recreational drug
you won't be able to take a shit for a few days after using it
