| 1 | Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy | Quickness to anger, severe depression and feelings of despair, listlessness, apathy. | I was prescribed both liquid morphine and hydrocodone after surgery. The morphine seemed to do little, so I depended more on the liquid Vicodin. Throughout the second week of my recovery, feelings of impatience and anger overtook me and combined themselves horribly with depression, despair, suicidal thoughts...all of which was completely unexpected given that I am well-adjusted and content. I have begun to wean myself gradually from the drug and am somewhat fearful that this will not abate. | M | 40 | 12 days | 1/11/2009 | 4 | Costochondritis (chest inflamation) | Euphoric. Sense of satisfaction. Slight dizziness. Slight numbness. Almost like being buzzed on alcohol | Helps the pain well and feels good | M | 2 days | 1/9/2009 | 1 | addiction | unable to urinate, puking, no sex drive, | i would not recommend any pain killers unless absolutely necessary the negative effects of prolonged use are not worth it | M | 17 | 6 months | 1/8/2009 | 3 | wisdom teeth removal | Sleepiness, irritability | Just didn't seem all that effective | M | 19 | 1 days | 1/5/2009 | 1 | Infected Jaw/Wisdom tooth | extreme stomach pain!!, horrible nightmares, emotional swings (ugh)pain didnt subside at all, no sex drive, itchy on my arms and legs and my chin, nausea, eh.. i think thats it | i cant take any food with it b/c my jaw is infected thanks to a wisdom tooth so pre surgery im taking vicodin.. i can barely get fluids down b/c it hurts so bad when it hits my stomach. definately hating this crap. | F | 20 | 4 days | 1/5/2009 | 3 | ROOT CANAL | INSOMNIA!!!!! JUST THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT SAYS AS FAR AS BEING DROWSY.WAY WEIRD!ANXIETY,SWEATY PALM AND FEET....NO APPETITE WHAT SO EVER. | IT TAKES THE PAIN AWAY...BUT DONT LIKE ITS SIDE EFFECT! | F | 27 | 3 days | 1/2/2009 | 3 | back pain | very talkative, manic feeling, hunger to settle the manic feeling. | It helped with the pain, however I did feel very friendly, very talkative, that up manic feeling! I ate more and more as if I could not fill the gap. The weird thing about the hunger was that it came inbetween the times I was off the drug. Like withdraw stress because I would try to stretch out my doses. I ate alot and very fast! It was odd! | F | 47 | 1 years | 1/1/2009 | 4 | Major Ear Infection & Broken Leg | Drowsiness, Constipation, "Perky" Feeling, Euphoria | I have both 7.5 and 5 on hand, and I alternate between the two, because if I take the 5 two times in a row, or vice versa, it doesn't seem to be effective. I have to take it every 3.5 hours instead of 4-6, because it starts to wear off in about 3-4 hours. It does take the edge off the pain, and for about an hour totally relieves it. | M | 15 | 2 weeks | 12/28/2008 | 1 | a lanced boil on my leg | dizziness, depression, suicidal thoughts, hot flashes, fatigue, and nightmares | This was horrible I practically sleep all day which sounds good but I had the most disturbing nightmares during that deep sleep. When I am awake I hate myself to the point of suicide and am very snappy, moody, and depressed. To top it all off I had hot flashes too. When I quit taking it I got severe pounding headaches. Don't take this if you value your sanity! | F | 22 | 7 days | 12/27/2008 | 4 | kidney stones/ kidney infection | Severe drowsiness, but even if I was drowsy I would go to bed only to be woken up by nightmares. At first I didn't think anything of it but soon it was happening everytime I fell asleep. It was so bad I only started taking half a pill which wouldn't take the pain away but it took the nightmares away. Also I had a rash on the inside of my elbows that was very annoying, nausea that wouldn't go away until they gave me something for it and moodiness. If I wasn't in my house and out for a long period of time I wouldn't feel well at all and be extremely pale. | F | 21 | 3 weeks | 12/21/2008 | 3 | removal of thrombosed hemorrhoid | Insomnia, itching, irritability (snappy) | About 30 minutes to an hour after taking this medication I begin to feel itchy all over. Four hours later and I am wide awake. I cannot sleep and I don't feel tired at all. It feels like I am tweeking. I am also very irritable with noisy neighbors outside my window. I want to go outside and snap at them. It does releive the pain though. | F | 33 | 2 days | 12/18/2008 | 5 | pain relief after dental surgery | euphoria; sense of well being; overall calm; increase in appetite; drowsiness | best pain medication i've taken since darvon | F | 57 | 3 days | 12/17/2008 | 3 | Painful Cough | It was the liquid mixed with the cough syrup. First night was fine,i passed right out, no coughing but my boy said i talked in my sleep and snored like crazy. second night i was WIRED! didnt sleep a wink and was severly itchy. i cant decide wether or not to try this again! | F | 22 | | 12/16/2008 | 1 | root canal | fun,itchy,irritable,anger,insomnia,anxiety,depression,breathing problems. | I take one pill and feel ok until i need to sleep and then all hell breaks loose. I have vertigo and sleep apnea on this shit. its total bs! How the fuck can doctors prescribe this shit for pain when it drives you mad. Stick with a good sack of dope, a few beers and a aspirin! | M | 14 days | 12/15/2008 | 4 | Broken 5th metatarsal/post-op | Because I am generally pretty resistant to pain medication as far as relief goes, I have to take 2 tablets every 4 hours, even at night. The result is total insomnia, for nights on end. I don't really feel "drugged" but I get hot flashes and sweat very easily whenever I have to move around. One good thing is that since I've been on the Vicodin, my normal heart palpitations seem to have stopped (it lowers blood pressure by widening blood vessels). | F | 19 | 5 days | 12/14/2008 | 2 | Pre and post root canal | It gets rid of the pain nicely. But I'm constipated and have had intermittent nausea. I also feel like I'm suddenly kind of borderline mentally ill (or what I imagine it would feel like, as I thankfully have no experience with any sort of mental illness). I feel sluggish and depressed and slow-moving -- exhausted and hopeless while simultaneously feeling a sense of agitation and doom. I'm able to act normal and I'm sure I'm not in any sort of danger, but I feel like I want someone in the room with me just to make sure. Oh, and you know that whuuuuuh, whuuuuuh vibration noise that you hear after a low-sounding bell has rung? I keep hearing that. | I guess I will never understand recreational drug use if something as relatively mild as vicodin makes me feel this rotten. | F | 44 | 10 days | 12/14/2008 | 4 | Chronic Leg Ulcer | constipation | I currently take 500 1-2 times a day for pain related to my leg ulcer, which is currently much better... but the Vicodin also helps with other aches and pains that I might have such as back pain or menstrual pain and I find it has been one of the few prescription medications that work for me. I've never experienced any withdrawal symptoms and I have gone weeks without taking any. | F | 41 | 2 years | 12/2/2008 | 3 | Chronic Knee Pain | Slight euphoria, sluggish, overeating, headaches, joint pain(?). I don't think the side effects are worth it. Very addicting. | I think, but I'm not sure, that it is exacerbating arthritis in my fingers, wrists, and other joints. Has anyone else noticed a similar affect? | F | 52 | 3 months | 12/2/2008 | 3 | 4 Wisdom teeth extracted | Itchiness and insomnia | Itchiness was not severe, just annoying enough to keep me up all night long. Worked well on the pain though. | F | 25 | 2 days | 11/21/2008 | 4 | Lower back pain | Relaxed tired felling while im sitting around but when I get up and do something active it seems to give me energy and motivated to do stuff. It makes me feel itchy sometimes but not to much anymore cause I have been taking it for a while. | Its highly addictive that causes liver problems if taken to much. I would recommend following the Doctors instuctions while taking this drug. | M | 25 | 1.5 years | 11/14/2008 |
