What are the long term effects of abusing Vicodan and Percocet?

Red Winged Bandit asked:


Serious answers in regards to mental, physical and spiritual health would be appreciated.

And feel free to take up some space. I’ll be reading all of these answers.
Also source of info/credentials would be great.
by abuse I mean long-term, unnecessary use. If I cut my leg off I don’t need to ask a doctor if it hurts. So no, that’s not what I meant.

    the drug reacts with the body and mind of the person . overtime a person needs more of this drug to have the same effect. that part one.
    the drug addiction is both physical and mental as a result the withdrawal from the drug becomes more difficult with each increase in dose and increase in length of usage.
    the drug affects the thinking of a person a person who has taken this drug is intoxicated and as such can be a danger to himself or others. this type of intoxication is different from that of beer or other liquor’s since there is no smell and a person could be a the point of being a real hazzard to others say while driving yet the person may seem fine to the untrained eye.
    the drug changes the appitight of a person so a person may not eat really anything near to what is needed to be healthy.
    this drug reacts with others such as alcohol in a very powerfull way .
    the drug reduces the persons ability to feel pain and so if misused a person could go without complaining of a new or increase in pain and delay treatment.
    the drug must be processed by the body and as such enters the liver the drug causes harm to the liver over time and liver failure leads to death.
    the stomach is also taking a beating with this drug so ulcers come along and again without the pain the person just does not know or care about the pain so leaves that .
    the drug even when used as it is intended can make a person have very confussing thoughts . the person will have trouble keeping dream and imagination from the awake world.
    this can lead to terrible thoughts fearfull thoughts and or dangerous thoughts . most often at first the thoughts are not of fearfull things but instead are rather pleasent and one remembers them and wishes to feel that same way and remember in such a vivid way .
    the rest of the problems with the drug when misused are the pretty much the same as any drug addiction.
    one more thing is that a single dose or a combinded dose of this drug can be fatal and this is not rare .
