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: 1996-09-23 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  Wisdom extraction - all 4 impacted Nothing too bad, if I were relaxing and lying down, it would knock me out, but I also took it while I was at work, and it didn't make me drowsy. Really helped with the pain; almost too well, as I could feel the pain coming back the second it started to wear off. I also decided to take one when I got a migraine and it actually helped.. it didn't get rid of it, but it felt better. Keep in mind almost NOTHING helps my headaches.. so the fact that this did help somewhat, was great. F 23 7 days

 2  Tooth pain Anxiety, panic attacks, hives, flushing (rash?) I have pre-existing anxiety, but Vicodin puts me over the edge and sends me into a panic attack a few minutes after taking it. So I would advise others with anxiety/depression issues to look into other options. After taking it a few times I began developing a few stray hives on arms, hands, legs, face. It only helped with the pain for a very short period of time, about 30 minutes (and doctor directed to take once every 6 hours!). I switched to Percocet instead, problem solved. F 22 5 days

 4  Endometriosis Extreme itchiness, but no hives or anything. Didn't work all that great for my pain, but it did offer some relief. I haven't felt "high" or anything like that. F 41 2 days

 4  root canal, gum surgery mild nausea, talkativeness, euphoria, constipation, hemmorhoids Vicodin is very good for pain after root canal. I've had two prescriptions and the dentist both time overprescribed; all I really needed was 6 or so and both times they gave me 30. Both times I went through the scripts, sometimes for legitimate reason ( occassional mouth pain) but usually to get euphoria. The first time I got constipated at end of run & came down with hemmorhoids. So the second time I was more careful and took them ocassionally.When the script ran out, I had no desire to obtain more (or look for some scag, which is pretty similar!) because I'm very aware of addiction potential.You know the second time I said, "all I need is several" to get through two days after surgery, but he gave me 30 anyhow! M 55 30 days

 4  fractured wrist I felt somewhat drowsy, very constipated (rare for me), relaxed. minimized the pain. I suggest you drink water and stay away from alcohol (can really damage your liver). I didn't feel addicted, maybe because I only took it for 3 days. F 33 3 days

 1  Broken Shoulder I felt angry and agitated. Could not sleep. This drug did nothing for my shoulder pain and made me want to grind my teeth. I have no idea how anyone could get addicted to feeling angry and to the sleeplessness. There are many better pain killers than this. F 32 12 days
