| 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 | 4 | Multiple teeth extractions (4wisdom | Vivid dreams Very off balance. Off balance Weird high feeling Feeling sick Dizzy everything spinning | F | 16 | 2 days 10 | 5/9/2013 | 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 | 3 | Pain | nausea and dizziness | I know that doctors prescribe Vicodin as an effective pain reliever. However, it is very strong and addictive. I've read that hydrocodone is about six times as powerful as morphine as a painkiller in this article: http://sober.com/vicodin.html | M | 34 | 15 days 30mg 1X day | 12/12/2012 | 1 | Pain. | Constipation. Nausea. Upset stomach. Bloating. Feeling like I got to burp but can't. Bad dreams. No appetite. A weird "high". Everyone is different but do experiment with other pain meds. I prefer percocets. | M | 20 | 3 weeks 5MG | 11/3/2012 | 2 | back pain | Helped with the pain, but basically paralyzed my bowels . | I called my doctor and they recommended Miralax , but I already tried softeners and laxatives and nothing was working . I’ve taken myself off the Vicoden and am just living with the pain for now . I have an appointment with a pain management specialist tomorrow for possible epidural injections , but what I really need is surgery for the herniated disc that are pressing up against my spinal cord . Good luck fellow pain sufferers . | M | 65 | 7 days 2X day | 9/10/2012 | 4 | leg pain | I had dizzyness, loss of coordination. frequent falling and dropping things clumsy | F | 45 | 3 years 500 | 9/3/2012 | 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 | 4 | Lower back pain | Helps control pain but it is just a mask for the underlying problem. Also gives me mood swings and anger issues. Trying to become non dependent. | M | 42 | 2 years 500mg 2x | 8/14/2012 | 4 | Multiple wisdom tooth extractions | Removed all pain, extreme tiredness, slight lack of balance | F | 16 | 3 days 500 4X day | 8/13/2012 | 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 | 4 | Sciatica/Sciatic Flare-up | Constipation, Dizziness, Drowsiness | Combined with massive amounts of Ibprofuen, this helped me get through quite a bit of pain. Typically I'd feel a little dizzy/drowsy for about an hour after but it worked wonders for the sciatic nerve pain. If anything I would have preferred an extended release drug instead: I'd usually wake up in terrible pain a few hours after taking it before bed after it had eventually worn off. The constipation is a whole 'nothing issue: if I actually took the 3 tablets x a day, this would cause major problems with the piping. By the third week I winded up only using it once a day or so when the pain was too much in order to avoid further bathroom disasters. | F | 28 | 3 weeks 5-500mg 3X day | 7/12/2012 | 4 | car accident multpl.problems n pain | Headaches swollen throat in the am and being "AWAKE". I switched from percoset 5 because they made me ultra sleepy w my other meds and aggitation was higher. They work ok for me not as good as the percosets but longer than the percosets. Its pain pills there's always going to be a side effect its choosing which one you can tolerate to help your pain to be manageable. | F | 34 | 3 months 10-325 | 6/30/2012 | 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 | 1 | Post hysterectomy | Three doses and I am wired and unable to sleep and itching everywhere.. Can't empty my bladder fully, although that could be surgery-related. Taken before without issue. | F | 42 | 1 days 500 mg | 6/14/2012 | 2 | Herniated cervical disc | Taken as needed for pain. Severe migraines, loss of appetite,vivid nightmares restless, insomnia, stomach cramps, constipation, weepy, aggression between doses, have to increase dosage after 2 days to get relief. It relives pain but causes so many annoying and exhausting side effects that I requested a change. I have a bad reaction/sensitivity to Hydrocodone which is in vicodin. So was switched to Percocet containing oxycodone. | F | 28 | 10 days 500 | 5/24/2012 | 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 |
