| 5 | For pleasure | My depression melted away i felt good like i had drank alcohol i slept awsome i puked a few times it was good sh*t | M | 35 | 2 days 20 10X day | 10/19/2020 | 5 | Chronic Pain | Tiredness. | Works perfectly for alleviating my chronic pain. | F | 30 | 10 years 10 MG 2X AN | 3/26/2017 | 5 | degenerative disk disease, arthritis | Euphoria, itchy, dry mouth | I was taking vicodin on and off for 2 years, but every day now for the last year. My prescribed dose is 20mg a day, but I've noticed my tolerance going up. I try to skip days, but the pain is awful and I find myself craving the vicodin, which I do not like. I know it's an addictive drug, but it helps my pain for right now. | F | 32 | 3 years 10/325 | 11/6/2014 | 5 | Colitis, Migraines, MS | I have been taking Vicodin for several issues as needed. It works great for my pain, which can be severe at times. I do notice some itching and constipation, but compared to my pain, it's nothing! Be sure to drink plenty of water while taking this medication. Eat with a snack or light meal to prevent upset stomach if that is an issue for you. Overall, this is a wonderful drug for me! | F | 34 | 3 years 5/325 | 1/8/2014 | 5 | Back surgery | Itching, weight gain | F | 33 | 1 years 10 mg | 3/28/2013 | 5 | Chronic migraines, depression | None. I use it as a prevention and treatment of migraines. Because it lifts mood, increases alertness and energy, I use it for severe depression that occurs in the winter. Generally take 2-3 a day. Taking more is counter-productive. Works better than any anti-depressants I've tried. | F | 59 | 10 years 7.5/350 | 1/26/2013 | 5 | chronic back pain | My PCP prescribed Vicodin in stead of the usual crazy drugs for my low back pain; I feel sorry for patients forced into taking Cymbalta etc when responsible narcotic use can work wonders. The only side-effect that I had was constipation and I didn't tell my doctor until the constipation had become severe. During an exam in her office she was feeling my abdomen and asked when I had my last BM and when I said 4-5 days, she nodded to the nurse who left the room, returning a few minutes later with an IV pole with a big enema bag full of soapy water..and I got the how to prevent constipation lecture from the nurse and from my doctor as I got every drop. Actually, she could not have been nicer. | M | 57 | 1 years 7.5 2X day | 8/14/2012 | 5 | Back pain + hip pain | No pain, great mood, energy, euphoria. The only side-effective I experience is anger when I run out. | M | 35 | 1 years 10mg 3*d | 8/2/2012 | 5 | Severe Mouth Ulcers | This is a very helpful pain reliever. I've been talking these for about a week and a half now for severe ulcers of the mouth due to stress. Best part is hours after taking a dose, the relaxation lingers throughout the day. | M | 25 | 2 weeks 5 MG | 6/14/2012 | 5 | Wisdom tooth extraction | Increased appetite, restleslness, insomnia, constipation, increased thirst. | The first two days, I just wanted to sleep, but from the third day on I was wide awake. After not taking it for 8 hours or so, I crashed. | F | 16 | 6 days 5-500 5X day | 5/23/2012 | 5 | Arthritis Pain | Only thing that would help my pain. Skin tingling/itching Stomach ache when taken on an empty stomach decreased alertness (made me feel high) | F | 18 | 2 weeks 750 | 4/28/2012 | 5 | broken knee | all these people exagerate i bet anything they are just downplaying but deep inside they love vicodin it makes u feel good and relaxed just dont take too much in a day cuase u will get constipated other than that bunch of liars they enjoy the ride as much as i do | M | 40 | 38 days 5/500 3X day | 4/28/2012 | 5 | after banding hemorrhoids procedure | restless, sleepless, very alert... | F | 49 | 10 days 2/500mg | 4/15/2012 | 5 | Herniated disc, sciatica, fibro | None | Wonderful drug. Takes away pain from compressed nerve in spine. Without this drug I cannot do much of anything since walking and standing are very painful. Without this drug I cannot even sleep due to pain. Also helps the debilitating muscle pain when I have a fibromyalgia flare. The pain and frequency of my migraine headaches have been greatly reduced since taking this drug. My blood pressure was high all my adult life from panic disorder but is now normal since taking this drug. | F | 55 | 10 years 3X day | 1/28/2012 | 5 | Wrist injury | Taking vicodin worked great for pain, it had one negative side effect though. It made me want to suck dick even though im straight. | M | 27 | 1 months 10mg | 1/21/2012 | 5 | Pain due to a medical condition | Euphoria, increase in energy, and mild constipation. I've never had any severe negative side effects at all. Although, I have a love/hate relationship with vicodin, everytime I get it prescribed to me, I am tempted to take extra to feel the amazing euphoria =) but be careful great for pain, but can easily become habit forming, I now after many years actually take the proper prescribed dose. Lol have fun folks:) | F | 26 | 3 days 5/500 | 12/29/2011 | 5 | 8 foot surguries;endometriosis pain | Lots of itching, mild nausea if taken on empty stomach. It affects me differently based on when i take it. Right after surguries i take it every 4 hours so it keeps me pretty loopy, tired, etc etc. For my endometriosis pain its one of the only thing that works, and based on my pain thats how i take it. It doesnt make me as loopy or nauseas when i take it lets say once a day. But usually just takes my pain away and lets me get out of a fetal postition and do things. Also, when taken on an empty stomach it usually puts me right to sleep/makes my tummy hurt. | As a chronic pain sufferer vicoden is a God sent. It works(at least for me) for both bone pain (due to reconstructive foot surguries) and muscle pain ( due to endometriosis). Ive been taking it for 6 years and it works great for me. Its not addictive, at least for me. Alot of people and/or doctors dont like to use it because it can be "addictive" but when youre actually in pain and use it properly it works wonders. and worth a bit of an upset tummy :) | F | 19 | 6 years 5-500 2X day | 10/14/2011 | 5 | had my wisdom teeth pulled | no side effects | love vicodin. it truly works. for some people it might not and for some people it really works. | F | 30 | 1 days 1X day | 9/21/2011 | 5 | lower back pain | Absolute rage. Irrational, migraine type rage. Angry at everyone, everything, for about 4 hours. Knew what was happening, had no control over it. Scary stuff. | The Vicodin got rid of my pain, but oh boy, I don't think I wanna take it anymore no matter what my back feels like!!! | F | 65 | 10 days 1X day | 9/6/2011 | 5 | Wisdom teeth extraction | felt great.. Like a little bit of a high that took away the pain and made me drowsy enough to get a good night sleep. Didnt wake up feeling fully rested but it at least helped me get through the whole night with no pain. I didnt experience any nausea or dizziness and felt normal and pain free all week :) | F | 17 | 1 weeks 30 MG 3X day | 8/21/2011 |
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)
