Pre-existing? Meaning genetic predisposition? 1-3mg sounds like a lot! I never take more than two 400mg tabs if I have pain.
Would Vicodin be a better option for bodybuilders?
Are the ulcers related to the Colitis that we see commonly in bodybuilders?
Nubain use (sadly) seems common too. But aren't injectables easier on the liver/kidneys than orals?
Thanks for your info!
Pre-existing genetic factors (FSGS) would definitely make a difference.
Even taking 4 200mg tablets twice a day won't cause any real damage. You have to be mega dosing NSAIDs for a long time for major repercussions.
Vicodin is so high in acetominophen that the acetominophen becomes the danger. You can take a good amount of hydrocodone for longer periods of time and be fine.
But, as your body adapts to that drug, you'll need higher doses to feel good (which is why most people take vicodin. Hydrocodone isn't that great of a pain med. The acetominophen is doing most of the work) and the 'legal' portion of the vicodin is what does people in.
I would think the colitis is at least somewhat related to the diet. All the high fibre foods like brown rice, with the surrounding husk, and the like that can damage the intestinal lining is probably a factor in the colitis.
Nubain is just a way to get stoned without calories. That is all it is.
A bbing diet is boring as shit. Eat all day, train, don't do anything. It goes by better when you're stoned. Give an uneducated bloke the chance to think that his drug (nubain) can someone "help" him (train harder), and the abuse will soon folllow.
The Cocaine has many effects. Cocaine causes various forms of cellular necrosis across the board.
There is a type of heart dysfunction of reduced ejection fraction that is a Cocaine induced cardiomyopathy. Reduced heart function is closely related to poor kidney function.
