A friend of a friend just did vicodin the other day, it was his roommates from a prescription a while ago. Said friend was chilling and smoking hookah (just tobacco shisha) indoors. As always when smoking indoors for too long, he got a headache. They come on soft but quickly build into a full blown migraine. Well okay, I doubt he had a migrane in the medical sense, but he said it sure as hell felt like one!
In any case rather than pop 4 or 5 non-asprin OTC pills, he 'borrowed' a vic and it worked wonders. No more headache and felt great... So he said...
Moral of the story, vics actually are good pain meds. I was perscribed some a while back and took two (as perscribed) and it did -nothing- not a damn fucking thing. I would have been better off with nightquil. Just some personal opinions here...
And you know why vics are so cool? Dr. House. hahah.
