What RX drug is this.
It's got me flying but I can't find any references to it on the web.

Its marked:

Hydrocodone BT-Ibuprofen TBTEV

So it's Vicadin, for my pain, Ibuprofen for my swelling, but does anyone know what the BT and TBTEV is all about?

1. You got some good stuff there
Hydrocodone BT is Hydrocodone bitartrate. The TBTEV is the instructions for taking it-- TBT=To Be Taken. The EV part I'm not sure about. Just refer to the instructions on the medication container.

It's used as pain medication-- I was on it after my foot surgery, and it DOES keep your head in the clouds!

Here's a good web site: http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/hydrocod.htm

2. Here's what it is
BT is for Homatropine an antimuscarinic due to your dental surgery. It can give you dry mouth and the vicodin is probably getting you high but didn't you have the oral surgery today? The effects of the anesthesia take while to wear off

4. I thought it was Vicodin?
I though codeine was synthetic in any form? I would've given my doctor a headache if he gave me Codeine for what I had done today! I take codeine for headaches (girlfriends dad brings back over the counter stuff from Canada every two weeks)

6. I thought
codeine was a derivative of opium so when I say synthetic I mean the molecules are manufactured as opposed to derivated. (wee hoo)

7. I took some Vicodin once OMG
I was hurting, a lot! I was running for (deleted package delivery service name) during the (deleted time of year) rush, plowing through (deleted precipitation), carrying all sorts of heavy shit. Finally my body, after years of being sedentary said "you know what? fuck you and the truck you rode in on!". My driver talked to another driver during a lunch break, that driver hooked me up with 2 vicodins. I'd never taken them before. I took one. 30 minutes later I was ready to kick Chuck Norris's ass, I was ready to fight my way up Mount Suribachi. I settled with sprinting down the road as my driver through packages out the side door and gave me street numbers.

WOW! I used the second one on my last day just to get rid of it, we finished our usual load 2 hours early.

8. Generic Vicoprofen.
I think the TB means "tablet" and the TEV is the manufacturer TEVA Pharmaceutical. Is the tablet white, round with "5161" stamped on it?
