Why When I Take Vicodin Do I Have an Giant Urge to Clean?
Question by Kev S: Why when I take vicodin do I have an giant urge to clean?
I recently had my knee operated on and they gave me Vicodin for the post-op. When I take the drug I feel like I have a urge to clean everything. Like do the dishes, the laundry or just straighten up an entire room. Does anyone know why?

You are not alone, hun. I’ve been on percocets/vicodins for 5 years, and I know exactly what you’re talking about. Vicodin is a narcotic, as you probably know, and it’s considered an opiate. Opiates are drugs, stemming from heroin, crack, coke, etc. I’m not saying that THAT’S what’s in vicodin, but because it’s an opiate, that’s the outcome. It gives you this burst of energy. I used to take it at work; once I began to get tired, I popped a couple, then boom! I was awake, running around doing a million things at once. Coming down from it sucks though, just as drug addicts do with heroin, crack, coke, etc. So, to answer your question, “why when taking vicodin you have a sudden urge to clean?”, it’s because is an opiate, and opiates are drugs like crack, and crack, when first…..i don’t know if you smoke or sniff it, but when you first get crack in your system, it gives you a burst of energy, then a few hours later when coming off of it, you’ll feel like dump, tired, sore, just want to sleep. Then when you suddenly stop smoking/sniffing crack (i don’t know if you smoke or sniff it, I just know it’s one of these lol), the withdrawals is painful! And that’s why addicts have to go to rehab, and that’s to safely and easily come off of the drug. Hope this was the answer you were looking for. Sorry I couldn’t make the paragraph short lol. And please try not to get addicted to it. If you experience any signs of tingling in your legs, or any withdrawals, see your doctor, and he can help you get off of them safely. Withdrawals from these types of medications, i’ve heard people died trying to get off of the drug, so you will have to ween yourself off slowly.
