Extreme drowsiness which is what I needed with the pain. | Awoke every 4 hrs. on the minute needing to take another pill. | F | 29 | 2 weeks | 7/29/2001 | 4 | acl reconstruction | none | M | 45 | 1 months | 1/9/2002 | 4 | foot pain | none | F | 42 | | 2/4/2002 | 5 | Pain due to SLE | Slight aggressive behavior, muffled hearing | F | 44 | 5 months | 5/23/2002 | 4 | Broken,leg&neck+fractures | some "euphoria" relaxation feeling(ok with me) | best thing ive found so far to help relieve the pain. Im still taking it and could potentionly take it for at least several months up to possibly a year.Liver is a concern but the pain is so bad i dont care. | M | 24 | 4 months | 5/27/2002 | 4 | pain control for tonsilitis | maybe a little nausea...dizziness..drowsiness..which was good b/c it was an escape from the pain. | F | 37 | 2 days | 6/17/2002 | 4 | chondromalacia patellae | dose related drowsiness, drymouth, and shallow breathing | A very good medication for moderate pain relief associated with a condition like mine. This medicine really helped me walk without pain and side effects were mild. The pharmacist told me to drink lots of water in order to get the full effects of the Hydrocodone and prevent constipation. This is my second prescription to Vicodin and by taking the pharmacists advice, it worked more effectively than the first. The only complaint I have is it's short life of six hours. | M | 23 | 1 months | 6/20/2002 | 5 | wisdom teeth | i love it | 19 | | 7/17/2002 | 3 | Endometriosis & Adenomyosis | skin itching!!; stomach cramping/pain; occasional headaches; sleepiness; spaced-out feeling; some constipation | I can't take the NSAIDS usually given for my conditions, so I don't have a lot of options. This med helps but doesn't get rid of the severe pain I've had for 8+months now. What relief I do get doesn't last long enough. | F | 35 | 1 months | 8/3/2002 | 5 | F | 16 | | 10/11/2002 | 5 | Surgery and Fatigue, Pain and Nervo | I have not noticed any bad side effects from this drug so far, but I am very interested in hearing other peoples' experiences with this drug both on short- and long-term basis. Initially I statrted taking this drug for pains from a wrist surgery--due to a broken bone accident, and then I continued taking it only once in awhile when I felt a combination of nervous, painful and tired. Under the latter conditions it has allowed me to relax and get some sleep, which in turn has allowed me to regain my enegy. | M | 60 | 2 years | 10/27/2002 | 5 | Migrane headaches/shoulder & neck | makes me a little hyper | Really does help with daily pain | F | 3 | 1 years | 10/29/2002 | 2 | stomach pain | severe nausea and vomiting 9 out of 10 times I took it. | not worth the hassle to take it. | F | 33 | 5 days | 11/10/2002 | 5 | migraine | F | 27 | 3 years | 11/13/2002 | 3 | Severe abdonimal pain | Fatigue, drowsiness, had to take it with food or it came right back up! Also had a great deal of anxiety/paranoia, to the point where I'd be afraid of dying in my sleep.. ehhh.. | Did help with the pain and put me to sleep somewhat quickly, but the paranoia side effect kept me away.. would almost rather have the pain than be that anxious. | F | 17 | 10 days | 11/17/2002 | 3 | Back Pain | Hyper, aggitated, constipated, upset stomach | F | 31 | 4 years | 11/18/2002 | 3 | FOR HEADACHES | Some itching sensations | M | 52 | 10 months | 1/2/2003 | 3 | chronic | | 1/6/2003 | 3 | chronic long term pain - arthritis | taken for chronic pain left from fx ankle which was operated on to insert a plate and screws. Also oesteoarthritis C4 C5 | F | 52 | 6 months | 1/6/2003 |
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)
