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)

 3  Wisdom Teeth Extraction While it did take the pain away, it really wasn't much fun. My head was in a cloud and I would cry over any little thing. It really messes with your emotions. It also made me extremely tired. I would prefer not to use it again, but if I had to it would be alright. I really just didn't feel comfortable with the extreme changes it made with my emotions. F 17 5 days

 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

 1  Endometriosis Horrible nightmares: first night, I had nightmares and tried falling back to sleep but would go right back in the dream. 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

 3  Wisdom teeth removal The main side effect was it made me extremely tired. After taking it I would fall asleep for hours. I felt very dizzy like I was in a swaying boat, making it hard to walk. I had fuzzy thoughts forgetting things and hard to even have enough focus to read. I also felt happy and careless. It wasn't great with pain but it made me sleep so it made it bareable. F 16 4 days

 3  Wisdom teeth removal This drug certainly does its job, pain wise. However, I became constipated, couldn't fall asleep till 4am, then kept waking up once I fell asleep. I had slight nausea, and tonight I found out how paranoid it can make you. I was literally running around my house, checking to make sure everything was locked, like I had OCD. It was a terrifying feeling because I felt so sure something horrible was going to happen. Weighing the pros and cons, I don't think I'd take vicodin again. F 17 3 days
