Fictional Vicodin Usage

If Dr. House was actually taking the amount of narcotic pain releiver that is protrayed on the TV series-would he be able to function effectively?

If he built up to that amount slowly, over time, then yes, he probably could. That is one of the idiosyncrasies of narcotics. If an addict or abuser builds up very slowly, then their body can learn to handle and function even though they take very, very large amounts of the medication.

An overdose and related issues occur when someone suddenly jumps their dosage.
