Vicodin Before a Job Interview

[needguidance49]

Vicodin calms my nerves and it seems to make me open up and give me more personality. On the other hand, I think it loosens me up too much. Has anyone ever taken it before an interview and believe they bombed it because of it? What about Valium or Xanax or combining Valium and Vicodin? Do you believe they can impair your judgment so much that it can be noticed even on a tel interview?

Pills give you a false sense of security.  I would be looking at the underlying issues of why you think you need to take these pills.  Taking them is not the answer.     sara

I am looking at the overall picture. Relying on vicodin to 'land' an interview will lead to relying on it to do the job, which will then mean taking more to do the same thing.
don't go that route. If you can't land the job without drugs, then the job may not be for you or whomever is feeling they need this to be something they are not.

Don't do it.  My ex-g/f has blown way too many interviews in her life taking vics, and xanex.  You think that you are pulling it off but others can tell something just isn't quite right!  Xanex is down right dangerous to me.  You take one and it doesn't seem to work then you take another and it's too much.  They make me black out where I can't remember what I did.

I've seen many people bomb interviews repeatedly before then they tried doing one on Vicodin and landed the first one they tried it on. What would you say it does? Does it make you say things you normally would not say?

Duh, it's called dope for a reason. Of course it impairs you, while at the same time, making you believe you are better on it. You don't need drugs to be who you really are.
