| 5 | Thyroidectomy, then ankle injury | made me feel euphoric, like totally happy. But very itchy, to the point of being unable to sleep. However, once that goes away I sleep but with very vivid dreams. If I take on an empty stomach the affects are worse..so I take with some food. | I can see why this drug is addictive if it gives you that euphoric feeling. I suffer from anxiety and currently take meds for it, however, vicodin made me feel better than my anxiety meds do. And took all my pain away. But I am cautious, and have had my prescription since October with two refills. | F | 43 | 10 days | 4/10/2009 | 2 | to get high | nausated,dizzy,hot flashes, pukey feeling | F | 18 | 1 days | 4/7/2009 | 5 | Osteoarthritis: back, fingers, toes | Dizziness, mild constipation, need for more sleep. | I can't take NSAIDS because of having had ulcers, so Vicodin is the only prescription I use. Without it, I would be in pain constantly and inactive. Vicodin gets rid of most of the pain,so that I can live a normal life. I don't get euphoric, but I do get quite sleepy. My short term memory has been impaired, and I mix up words sometimes. | F | 62 | 3 years | 4/1/2009 | 1 | Vasectomy | Irritable,hateful,depressed,anxiety,couldn`t focus,paranoid so paranoid I thought everyone was out to get me,confused about any and everything,I hallucinated.My brain was mush, sight would get blurry,Uhg this crap almost killed me!!!! | This is the worst pain pill ever and can be fatal.Its all about money.Its sad the bottle only has 2 side effects listed but in reality there are tons.upset stomach,altered mental status,seizures,severe weeknes,dizziness,hyperventilation,unconsciousness,muscle twitches Vicodin also has depressant effects on the centranl nervous system,My oh my the list goes on and on its making me so sick just typing this. | M | 37 | 1 days | 3/24/2009 | 4 | wisdom teeth surgery | extreme stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, tiredness | took vicodin for 3 days and was fine because i took it with food. it eases the pain in my jaw a good amount. on the 4th day i made the mistake of taking it without food, something which i will never do again. i have never felt such intense stomach pains before. take this with WATER and a MEAL! | M | 19 | 5 days | 3/22/2009 | 5 | pain | euphoria, dizziness, insomnia, easily distracted | ha i love this stuff! i took the first 7.5/500 an hour ago and i already feel so much better. i've been exhausted/depressed for a few months due to a combination of pain and an unrelenting stream of illnesses; i think this is the happiest, most pain-free i've ever felt. i'm also really light headed/dizzy. can't sleep (not tired), and no longer seem to care about the test i'll be taking in three hours.. i can see how this might become addicting.. | F | 16 | 1 days | 3/18/2009 | 5 | Bunion Surgery | I've experienced Constipation. Feeling of Calmness, and Euphoria. Sleep good. | Good Pain Killer. Am cutting back each day as I heal. | F | 62 | 7 days | 3/16/2009 | 5 | Abcess Tooth | High feeling. Lots of energy. Buzz only lasted for about an hour sometimes two if it was the first of the day. | Pretty effective at making the pain go away! Beats the heck out of advil or tylenol! Really buzzed up Euphoric feeling! | M | 25 | 7 days | 3/16/2009 | 4 | Fractured ankle. | Very sleepy. Had to sleep 30 minutes after taking for several hours. | M | 21 | 3 days | 3/10/2009 | 3 | ACL repair knee surgery | nausea,constipation,itching on my torso, and extreme loss of appetite | the pain was really bad the first day and that night was hell but i only take 4 a day at various times. the lack of appetite is hard because normally I'm a hungry girl. out of gymnastics is torture | F | 16 | 6 days | 3/9/2009 | 5 | Spinal stenosis | None | This med eased my pain greatly - I take it every 6 hours (4 times daily) and could not be happier. I have been taking it for close to a year and recently had spinal surgery which I'm hoping has corrected the problem (a bit too early to tell though). | F | 70 | 1 years | 3/8/2009 | 4 | L4/L5 Ruptured Disks (10mm),Sciatica | Loopy. slight itchiness, night sweats, euphoria, and constipation when first started taking it...now, after taking it for over a month the initial side effects are gone, except for the constipation & my short term memory seems to be worse. | Initially took 5/500...am now taking 7.5/750. Works well for dealing with my extreme pain and I will continue to take it until my Dr advises me differently or my pain decreases. | F | 33 | 1 months | 3/4/2009 | 3 | Lower back pain | headaches, nausea, lightheadedness, general aches and pains throughout my body | could be caused as an interaction with all the other drugs I take for asthma, sleep apnea, insomnia, gout, arthritis, and on and on... | M | 61 | 10 days | 2/28/2009 | 5 | lumbar back pain | I had insomnia and severe itching when I began taking it, but only when I took extra doses. I have almost never experienced any side effects for the last ten years. | I actually take the 10/650 pill known as Lorcet. I use to worry about getting addicted, but after almost 15 years of taking it, sometimes a lot more than I should have, I have never felt addicted to it. I take it in accordance with my pain level and sometimes go a week or two without it with no withdrawal effects. | M | 43 | 15 years | 2/22/2009 | 5 | Back pain | Never experienced any negative side effects from any dose of vicodin. Generally there is a very noticable cessation of pain accompanied with an extreme sense of euphoria. I am very, very cautious with this drug as I can easily see how one could become quite attached to the happy feelings elicited by this drug. While other pain meds, again for me at least, seem to cause some constipation and other mild side effects, vicodin addresses my pain with zero side effects. | As noted by other patients, if I take a course of this medication for several days, I need to skip a day as my body seems to adjust and there is absolutely no response whatsoever...no amelioration of pain nor any euphoria. I try never to go more than 3 days during any pain episide. It's as if I had not even take the vicodin. | M | 50 | 5 days | 2/20/2009 | 3 | shoulder surgery | leg cramps | works for pain, but caused me severe leg cramping | F | 50 | 6 months | 2/18/2009 | 4 | Injured Ribs in Fall | M | 62 | 20 days | 1/30/2009 | 3 | post plastic surgery | Extremely itchy, especially in the face, which kept me up for hours. | Very good at killing the pain but it is a trade off for the other symptoms that are equally bothersome. | F | 40 | 4 weeks | 1/30/2009 | 3 | chronic neck pain | Itching, severe sweating, nausea and vomiting up to 4 hrs after taking, thirst, INSOMNIA!!, euphoria/happiness, sexual side effects (difficulty climaxing) | TERRIBLE INSOMNIA! Nausea worsened with consumption of water. Pain relief good and itching/sweating subsided after a few months, but the insomnia drove me CRAZY and the sexual side effects were definitely a problem. Poor boyfriend worked so hard, lol! | F | 38 | 8 months | 1/22/2009 | 5 | RLS | slight constipation | My doctor prescribed Vicodin for Restless Leg Syndrome. I take 1 whole pill or a half pill before bedtime. It works for me and it is the first time I have been able to sleep without nervous, twitching legs. He also prescribed Mirapex, but I had a very bad reaction to this drug. I recommend Vicodin for RLS, and at such a low dose I do not think it is possible to be addicted--as long you control your intake, and to not use it to invoke the euphoric high. | F | 29 | 30 days | 1/18/2009 |
