i heard that takin vicodin before rides or races reduces muscle aches, lol but would'nt it make you crash, i know alot of people that race mx, i thought they were joking at first, but ive seen them pop that big *** white tablet before a race, this cant be good

 

Yea i dont think its good, i know crack heads that snort/take that stuff.

 

Stephane Roncada got addicted hard to it. he ended up takin it everyday and everytime he rode, even against Bubba at the ama mx last year. He had a bad night when he ran out of it and started drinkin a bottle of vodka to get rid of the pain. he recovered and was planning on racing again

 

IF YOUR in such a shape you cant handle it maybe they should hang it up or go work out get in a little better shape i for one like to get my buzz on but i wouldnt if i was doing something were i could hurt others because my mind is slipping because im high[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] .

 

Dude that stuff is an opiate, just like heroin. Its super addictive, i was prescribed percocet( another opiate) and i threw them away because they made me puke after taking them. Its a downer, you get all dopey on them and can't feel ****, i would want to have my mind as sharp as possible during a race, not doped out.

 

IF ANYTHING AFTER THE RACE OR RIDE. ITS A PAINKILLER JUST LIKE LORTAB;THEY ARE HYDROCODONE TYPE DRUGS....YES ADDICTIVE.
YOU GOTTA USE DRUGS OR THEY WILL USE YOU. 9IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING)

 

My body flat out aches after riding, but I'll take the pain, especially after seeing people strung out on that crap! Once you get started, it is VERY HARD to get off it and you are, in a way, addicted for life.

 

Just take a warm bath, you'll feel better, there is NO need for pain killers like that unless you have surgery or a broken bone.

 

i was on vicodin for 3 weeks when i broke both my arms. i took prolly 20 of them total, and i felt no addiction towards them.

 

You are lucky Rem. Using them as prescribed doesn't seem to have the addictive properties as when someone uses recreationally or as part of their lifestyle. I deal with people daily in my job that are addicted so bad they would steal from their own parents to buy. It is extremely rare that I see someone successfully beat drug addiction once they get hooked.
