Vicodin
Overdose 
Vicodin
is one of the most commonly abused prescription pain medications today. Vicodin
is also one of the most widely prescribed medications, Vicodin and its related
medications, loricet, loritab percodan, and oxycontin are opioid-based pain
medications. Vicodin is a derivative of opium, which also used to manufacture
heroin. Vicodin successfully diminishes pain, but it is highly addictive and
withdrawal symptoms of Vicodin addiction are very similar to the pain it was
relieving. Vicodin combines a narcotic analgesic (painkiller) and cough reliever
with a non-narcotic analgesic for the relief of moderate to moderately severe
pain. If you take Vicodin over a long period of time, you can become mentally
and physically addicted to it, and you may find that it no longer works for
you at the prescribed dosage. Vicodin taken in excess can have serious consequences.
A severe overdose of Vicodin can be fatal. If you suspect an overdose, seek
emergency medical treatment immediately. A Vicodin overdose has many variables
such as weight, age, and additional prescription drug use.
