Sense of satisfaction. Slight dizziness. Slight numbness. Almost like being buzzed on alcohol | Helps the pain well and feels good | M | 2 days | 1/9/2009 | 4 | chronic back pain and gout | Slight hangover feeling next day. | I only allow myself one per day due to the addictive nature of this drug. Does a good job of removing pain. | M | 1 years | 7/9/2008 | 4 | Severly sprained shoulder | EXTREME itching all over body when taken before bed. | I have been unable to sleep soundly because this drug makes me itch all over my body. After the first night I was unsure what caused me to wake up constantly scratching, but the second night on Vicodin answered the question. Same sensation. Funny thing is that I've taken Vicodin several times before for different ailments and have never experienced this side effect previously. Not sure I can endure another itchy night. I might prefer the pain. | M | 2 days | 10/12/2004 | 4 | | 10/26/2003 | 4 | wisdom teeth | After taking two it is imposable to stay awake. One I am sleepy and slow, but more fuctional than I am with the pain. I've been lucky in that it has not upset my stomach, even when I took it without food. Maybe not the best choice if you know you have a tendancy to become addicted. | I don't understand what people like about this drug. I've tried to stop taking it early twice now, but without it the pain is so bad I can't sleep, eat, or talk. I don't really like the doped up feeling, but it's better than the pain. I can't wait till I don't need it anymore, but am glad I have it for now. | 3 days | 1/30/2005 | 4 | torn shoulder | tired and happy | i take 80 vicodin a day believe it or not, i know i have to stop | M | 2 days | 4/29/2005 | 4 | wrist surgery | some nausea.ome muscle cramps when first starting to work in legs | euphoric, but left me loopy, sense of out of body, am using Darvocet now they dont let you take them very long, pain was releived sixty percent..otherwise an uggy feeling..e mail if you got leg pain | 4 weeks | 1/17/2007 | 4 | Appendix removed | Itchiness all over, dry mouth, vivid dreams, drowsiness, euphoria, relaxation, sense of well-being and security. Over time, addiction. | Worked fabulously for pain relief; creates a "disconnected" feeling so that pain is dulled. Also makes you euphoric, which helps abate pain as well. However, after the pain went away, I began craving the euphoric effects of the drug. I would take them at night for the artificial happiness they provided, as well as the relaxation/drowsiness that came with them so that sleeping was easier. The drug worked great; however, it is extremely easy to become addicted to its euphoria inducing effect. Also, over time you need more and more to feel the same effect. If you are given this drug, only take it to kill the pain and THROW THEM OUT when you don't need them for pain relief anymore. It is highly likely that you will become addicted, and you will begin craving it if you don't have it, starting a vicious cycle that took me months to break. I've never done any drugs before and I don't plan on doing them in the future, but my addiction to vicodin crept up on me; before I knew it, | M | | 10/2/2005 | 3 | | 3/15/2006 | 3 | | 1/25/2005 | 3 | | 3/3/2007 | 3 | chronic | | 1/6/2003 | 3 | Severe stomach pain possibly IBS | I usually bite it in half or take a third because I don't want to get addicted. It is effective that way. Originally felt peaceful, relaxed when taking it. Now I switched to Lortab and am getting nausea. I didn't realize Vicodin and Lortab were so different. I don't recall getting nausea with Vicodin yet. But Vicodin is severely tempting to take for stress and mental peace. I have 2 bottles and am worrying already about running out. I find myself lapping up the crumbs after biting it. Sounds like I'm slightly getting addicted. | Do not give in to the tempation to take it for stress. You will regret it later in life. | 6 months | 9/10/2004 | 3 | Wisdom teeth extraction | Extreme nausea and vomiting | I was hesitant to use this medication in the first place and after this experience I don't want to take it ever again. I've been up all night vomiting to the point where I'm just dry heiving. If you need to take it, I advise you to use caution. | F | 4 days | 12/16/2014 | 3 | Yes | 1 days | 11/9/2016 |
VICODIN (ACETAMINOPHEN; HYDROCODONE BITARTRATE): This combination medication is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains an opioid (narcotic) pain reliever (hydrocodone) and a non-opioid pain reliever (acetaminophen). Hydrocodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever. This product is not recommended for use in children younger than 6 years due to an increased risk of serious side effects (such as slow/shallow breathing). FDA Approval Date: 1983-01-07 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
