| 4 | pilonidal cyst | Some itching, loopiness that lasts 1-2 hours, pain relief for a full 5 hours. Have taken on an empty stomach with no problem. | Can't see why people would use this to get high, but is effective for pain relief. | F | 36 | 4 days | 11/2/2009 | 4 | Menstrual Cramps | Constipation, drowsiness | This really helped with totally removing the pain from menstrual cramps. I attempted to take Ibuprofen for the cramps, but it really affected my stomach and didn't get rid of the pain entirely. Vicodin got rid of the pain completely. | F | 26 | 4 days | 11/2/2009 | 3 | Second Degree Burn Pain | I used to love taking vicodin always gave me a great high and took away my pain and used to take it a lot for many other surgeries. Recently I am taking it for pain on my hand that I got burnt and I am extremely nauseous, I itch all over and have headaches when I don't take it. This is just a recent thing and I'm so confused as to why. I always take on a full stomach but if I move after I am very sick to my stomach | F | 23 | 4 days | 10/27/2009 | 4 | cervical herniation | SEVERE constipation!!! Gained 10 pounds from it. Itchy skin. Extremely addictive. Improved mood....almost euphoric | After taking it for a couple of weeks it felt too good not to continue to take. I am sorry I was ever prescribed it. I find myself using it just to cope with a bad day. I look forward to the day I no longer have any vicodin left. | F | 38 | 5 months | 10/26/2009 | 4 | Chronic pain | Pain relief, relaxation | I had a couple surgeries that didn't go so well and when my script for oxy ran out I bought vikes from a friend. I started taking four 5/500s a day but soon built up a tolerance. Within a month, I was taking up to 8 day. And then I got seriously addicted. I started buying them 100 to 200 at a time. Within 5 months of daily use I was taking 12 to 18 a day (5/500s). I stopped caring about the pain relief and only cared about the high. I spent almost all of my paycheck on them every week. I've been taking them for over a year now. The only reason I still take them is I went through withdrawal once and I'm not going to do it again. When you detox, you get anxiety attacks, vomiting, muscle aches, chills, bone pain, the list goes on. Now I'm trying wean myself off. Basically what I'm saying is DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG UNLESS IT IS PRESCRIBED TO YOU. If you want a high, smoke some bud. It's cheaper, less expensive, and not addicting. Being known as a stoner was so much better than being known as a pill popper. | M | 18 | 1 years | 10/21/2009 | 5 | car accident/muscle spasms | Totally relaxed before bedtime,sleeping solidly,had an unusually strong and continuous erection all night but weak libedo (desire). Woke up with no side effects, fully alert, nice break from pain with perfect sleep. Never had taken before, but cautious with addiction and not combining with any alcohol. Actually split the pill in half due to precaution. | Very recommended as long as you are home, have not drank alcohol, have food in stomach, and not taken for an extended time to avoid addiction. Best ever of all meds, but cannot take during the day (maybe substitute another drug from doctor for day pain management). | M | 48 | 2 days | 10/20/2009 | 5 | Pain/fun | I'm high as a kite on Vicodin as we speak and I couldn't be happier. I feel so beautiful and content. Life is good. This morning I was feeling suicidal when I woke up because of horrible pain I have to deal with constantly...now I am feeling numb to it and I want to live forever. I can't imagine how anyone would not love this drug. More rich, chocolaty Vicodin please! | M | 30 | 1 days | 10/18/2009 | 4 | root canal/ back pain/ recreational | floatin on a cloud, body melt, best dreams ever.... | vicodin and percocet are the shit... always helps with the pain and fucks me up good... ill take like 4-5 for back pain and ill just melt away...high!!!!!!! best feeling ever..... | M | 21 | 6 years | 10/15/2009 | 4 | Chronic Paroxysmal Hemicrania | Constipation, euphoria, loss of appetite/weight loss, itchiness, a feeling of extreme concentration, very talkative, "disconnection" from reality. | At first this drug worked wonderfully for chronic extreme head pain, but after taking it for 2+ yrs., it's effectiveness is waning. I'm on what my Dr. has said is the max dose now, and am quitting due to liver and kidney concerns. I have never experienced withdrawal symptoms. I've been started on Marinol, the new wonder drug. | M | 33 | 2 years | 10/14/2009 | 2 | wisdom teeth extraction | nothing | did nothing for my pain | F | 32 | 7 days | 10/8/2009 | 4 | Oral Surgery | Nightmares | Worked great to control the pain but it caused nightmares. I've also taken vicodin for back pain but it always gives me nightmares. A small price to pay for pain relief. | M | 61 | 10 days | 10/5/2009 | 1 | Had back surgery (Microdiscectomy | My personality totally changed - I was very angry and became angry over nothing | M | 66 | 3 days | 9/23/2009 | 2 | Back spasms | Headache, extreme nausea, itchiness, agitation, sleepless-ness | Vicodin is a shining example of how one person's trash is another person's treasure. I can't believe this works so well for so many people, and is dispensed so easily. It made me horribly sick, gave me such a headache, made me tired yet I couldn't fall asleep, and made me feel restless and agitated. Now when I need a Rx for pain and a Dr. suggests Vicodin, I have to cover my mouth to stop the vomit from coming out. Never again. Vicodin and I do not agree at all. | F | 25 | 6 times | 9/18/2009 | 3 | absess on tooth | Felt good but didn't do anything for the pain constipation | cant believe this drug is given out like candy! people should really read and consider the drug facts before taking them! | F | 52 | 3 days | 9/14/2009 | 5 | Wisdom Tooth Infection | It felt like I was walking on a cloud in heaven, it was absolutely delightful! | Vicodin certainly seems to affect people differently, but I must say that this is a frickin' miracle drug to say the least. A lot of people report that they have nightmares - not me. I had dreams where I was a HERO...very vividly fighting off bad guys, saving the day, etc...not to mention the incredibly deep sleep I was able to coast into after feeling a very euphoric high. It did make me feel "hungover" in the morning, but it was better than a beer hangover by a mile. | M | 27 | 1 weeks | 8/22/2009 | 4 | Arthritis knees,neck & shoulder | Vivid dreams, sometimes drowsy, sometimes hyper. possible lower hearing levels? | After over 20 years of pain and multiple surgery's its a miracle drug. Pain never stopped me from doing much but now I'm MUCH less volatile. I do feel like a junkie picking up the meds but have stopped or ran out a few time without a withdrawal problem. Might even allow me to survive obama! | M | 41 | 3 years | 8/13/2009 | 4 | Chronic pain / Breakthrough | Constipation, weight gain | It works - that's why it's THE most widely prescribed drug out there. But it's usually compounded with acetaminophen (Tylenol) and there's now a lot of concern about long term use and what effects it may have on the liver. | M | 42 | 4 years | 8/6/2009 | 1 | Cracked tooth | None. | Had a painful tooth. Doc couldn't do anything about it until next day so prescribed Vicoprofen (7.5mg Hydrocodone[Vicodin] 200mg Ibuprofen). Did nothing for me. Couldn't sleep cuz of pain. Doc wanted to phone in prescription for Percocet but because that drug's abused the 24/7 pharmacy would only accept a written prescription. So Doc changes it to 10mg Hydrocodone/500mg Acetaminophen. Take it - an hour later nothing - no pain relief, no highs, no itching, no drowsiness or insomnia, nothing. Take a 2nd one - still nothing. Will just have to stay up all night (can't sleep due to pain) and drive to the dentist in the morning. I've never had Vicodin before - I must be naturally resistant. | M | 51 | 1 days | 7/30/2009 | 1 | phantom pain in the foot | The side effects were horrible at best. Cannot imagine someone taking this drug for recreational purposes. The worst was the mental aspects from feeling completely alone, euphoric, very depressed, unable to sit still, unable to continue doing any sort of task to completion. The nausea was a daily event...thank God for Ginger which got me thru many a day. Sleeping was ok but the pain never really was removed, just lessened considerably. When I stopped taking it, the withdrawal was something I never want to go thru again.. | They say it is potentially addictive. I only took it for 3 weeks and had horrible withdrawal. Please be very careful with this or any form of this drug.....it is VERY Habit forming. | M | 72 | 21 days | 7/23/2009 | 5 | chronic migraines | nightmares that can be taken care of if you take simply sleep with them at bed time. "High" feeling if taken on empty stomach with nausea after about an hour. I retain water when I have to take more than 1 when migraine is really bad. I am very talkative and in a great mood but it ends as effectiveness wears off and then I am snappy and can produce rebound headaches | Vicodin is the only thing that works when I get a full blown migraine. I have tried everything on the market and this is the only one that works if I don't catch it beforehand. I have been on this medication as needed for 6 years and have had to take it for days at a time and have not had a problem with addiction. The problem I do see when I have to use it for a few days is its effectiveness. I usually take on an empty stomach with a phenegren b/c of nausea and have to double up on dosage. | F | 35 | 6 years | 7/17/2009 |
