| 1 | Kidney stone | It was prescribed by the emergency room After suffering a severe kidney stone attack. I took the pill the next day when pain began in the same region. And I felt extremely nauseous , disoriented, Panic. Extreme fatigue. This is a drug that has a dangerous effect on me. I was unsure that is was Vicodan causing these symptoms due to the hospital had administered drugs via intravenously so I was unsure as to What is causing me to feel gravely ill.... Until Today. I felt OK after sleeping for many hours, until a aching pain began and I took a vicodin and those awful symptoms have taken residence Again. No Doubt this is a effect from Vicodin and all I can do is ride out these horrible symptoms. I took the pill at 11am, it is now 6pm and Still I am very ill from this disgusting drug. Never Again😟 The | Vicodin was Worse then the physical pain I was in when it was prescribed to me😳 Terrible drug. Be forewarned my friend. | F | 61 | 2 days 300 | 1/1/2017 | 1 | root canal | I took this at 1 pm after a root canal. By 2 pm I couldn't stay away. I slept from 2-5. I got up at 5, fixed dinner, and was completely fuzzy. It felt like my brain was in a fog and I had fears of dying from the one recommended dose. I would go across the room or kitchen and when I got there couldn't remember why. By 8 pm I couldn't stay awake any longer and went to bed (I usually never go to bed before about 11). I slept until 8 the next morning, so overall, I slept 15 of 18 hours after taking one dose. Never again. This stuff is dangerous and should only be used in a hospital setting. | M | 60 | 2X day | 9/22/2016 | 1 | Wisdom tooth extraction | Intense nausea that can only be explained by my stomach actually trying to claw its way out of my body. I vomited every 20 minutes and any time I tried to eat or drink anything. When there was no more blood, saliva, and stomach acid, I dry heaved. I cried pretty much the whole time and had a massive panic attack. At a couple points I laughed hysterically until it turned into sobbing. I was extremely anxious, drenched in sweat, and freezing cold. I was dizzy, could barely move, and it felt like my apartment was being spun into another dimension. Not only did it really not help the pain from my extraction, it seemed to distribute the pain to the rest of my unsuspecting body. All I wanted to do was sleep, but it was impossible until it finally wore off, several hours after I initially took the drug, but what felt to be an eternity. | Literally the worst experience of my life. I was sure I was dying. I would warn my worst enemy against using this drug. | F | 24 | 1 days | 3/8/2016 | 1 | Tooth extraction | Ok, at first, then felt nauseous and hungover.. | F | 35 | 6 days 10 | 4/29/2015 | 1 | Tried to commit suicide | Nausea and start feeling high, I was happy then I was crying for no reason, I start vomiting blood, worst experience ever. | F | 16 | 1 days 19 pills | 2/3/2015 | 1 | Tooth pain | Fine the first few times. The last second times , extreme nausea, vomiting, head spinning. Felt hung over. Don't understand why I'm having this reaction | Wonder if I am now allergic to it. | F | 34 | 8 months 5 mg | 11/12/2014 | 1 | Back pain | At first I felt a little euphoric but within a short time a horrible feeling of nauseau overwhelmed me. The room was spinning and I spent the next 2 hours hugging the toilet vomiting. I wanted to go to the hospital and felt like I was dying. I finally managed to crawl into bed and prayed I would fall asleep. In the morning I felt mostly better but still spinning from the night before and still my stomach wasn't right. I would never recommend this medicine to anyone. STAY AWAY! | F | 46 | 1 days 1X day | 11/9/2014 | 1 | wisdom teeth | Restless and ichy I'd rather deal with the pain | M | 24 | 2 days | 9/30/2013 | 1 | Tooth Infection | I would sleep all day which I didn't like because I couldn't take care of my daughter properly. I felt really sick all day, every time I moved I felt like throwing up. It didn't even help with the pain of my tooth, it just helped me sleep. I lost my appetite and lost weight since I couldn't eat. | I don't understand what is so great about this medicine. | F | 17 | 500 5X day | 9/27/2013 | 1 | back pain / strained muscle | Burning chest pain, sweats, increased heart rate, 70 to 158 instantly while in an ambulance. | M | 57 | 2 days 5/500mg 1X day | 9/25/2013 | 1 | Pain. | Constipation.

Then I jerked awake every 30 mins or so freaking out. Extreme paranoia and the feeling as if there was something bad going to happen. I figured I didn't have enough to eat with the pill and maybe that was what caused it. Second night, I had plenty of food but had the most vivid and intense nightmare EVER. Woke up drenched in sweat and panicking. I won't be taking vicidin again. | F | 23 | 2 days 10 | 1/15/2012 | 1 | Wisdom Teeth Removal | Euphoria | I became addicted to it after having wisdom teeth removed.

Throwing up every half hour. Bladder spasms, constantly feeling the urge to pee. Lightheaded. This is the sickest I have EVER in my whole life.

Will never take this again. | F | 19 | 1 days 1/2 | 12/31/2011 | 1 | extremly bad menstrual cramps | Horrible nightmares, feelt like vomiting, paranoia, depression weird moods made me think krazy stuff! I hate it!! | F | 22 | 3 days | 12/25/2011 | 1 | To treat pain caused by pericarditis, lupus and MS | Vicodin helps diminish the pain I have. However, I have become quite irritable. This is very unlike me. At times I am filled with such rage which, again is just not me. It is terrifying. I have cut back but doing so is difficult. I would like to stop taking this med entirely. However, as everyone here knows, pain robs us of our lives. I just want to be myself again. Good health and blessings to all. | F | 49 | 1 years 40 mg | 12/24/2011 |
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)
