| 2 | Root Canal | I found that when I took Vicodin for the pain in my mouth it gave me a calming feeling at first and then in about an hour it made me feel wide awake. I find myself having racing thoughts about random topics. My stomach started to hurt (mostly becuase I made the mistake of not taking it with food) I felt itchy and had extremely bad cotton mouth. It made me feel like I was on Meth when I used to do it. (I have been clean off of that stupid drug for over a year and a half). So, I flushed the rest of my pills and I dealt with the pain by taking Advill. | I can't see how people can like this stuff when they abuse it. It really wasn't the greatist expearence of my life. | F | 24 | 3 days | 11/14/2008 | 5 | Shoulder pain | Euphoric, makes you feel care free and extremely relaxed. Pain disappears. | Very, very good! It helped me with my shoulder pain from a car accident and I recommend this drug to all. | M | 22 | 4 months | 11/6/2008 | 4 | Hysterectomy w/bladder suspension | Very vivid and long dreams. Some sleeplessness. Calm and relaxed feeling. Constipation and some hot flashes. Hurt stomach when taken without food. | F | 44 | 1 weeks | 10/29/2008 | 5 | middle back pain emerging at night | Euphoric calm and caffeine like effect if more than one tablet taken (rarely need more than one). Early sleep stage seems particularly deep. If one of my kids wakes me after 1-2 hours of sleep, it regularly feels like i have been asleep for 5+ hours! However, dreams have seemed to disappear on vicodin. | It works! After chiropractic, osteopathic, accupuncture, physical and physiotherapy, steroid injections, massage therapy, taking one 7.5/750 tab before bed was the easiest and most effective solution for this type of least treatable back pain. once I am up and about, I have no daytime back or neck pain. | M | 48 | 10 years | 10/27/2008 | 5 | GYN Surgery | Can't fall asleep, wake up every few hous, wild dreams | It worked well for the pain, only problem was I did not sleep well. | F | 42 | 2 weeks | 10/20/2008 | 4 | Severe period cramps | Subtle dizziness, occasional anxiety,dry mouth and sometimes short term memory loss. | Because of fibroid tumors, my periods are extemely heavy and painful for 2 to 3 days out of the month. There is no other pain reliever that can help. Without vicodin, I would be bed ridden with pain during that time. I can function thanks to vicodin. I usually take half of the recommended dose. I have been doing this for a good five years and I don't experience any withdrawal signs on the days I don't take them. | F | 49 | 5 years | 10/17/2008 | 3 | abscessed molar and extraction | some nausea and vomiting, arrhythmia, insomnia, suicidal depression, anxiety attacks, mood swings and crying jags | I took Vicodin eight times over six days so it wasn't continuous. While it was great in taking the pain away, the obsessive suicidal preoccupation and planning is debilitating and has frightened my husband terribly. And myself. I had never taken narcotics or opiates before. Nor recreational drugs because I always sensed I would not fair well on them because my parents couldn't handle drugs well and became addicted. So I stayed away. But this tooth pain was excruciating and I was desperate. It helped with the pain. But I have stopped taking it since the pain has diminished and I will not take it again. The scary depression is not worth it. I hope it leaves my system soon. | F | 39 | 6 days | 10/16/2008 | 3 | broken toe | makes it hard to sleep. mild euophoria. stomach ache and dizziness if you try to move around. | i do not think vicodin is a very good drug. i broke my toe, and it did help kill the pain. however, it makes me dizzy and gives me a stomach ache, plus i cant sleep on it, and when i am in pain, i prefer to just sleep. i have some left over from the toe injury, and took two for a severe head ache that i have had for two days. the head ache has dulled, but it is still pretty bad. if my head ache continues another day, i plan to go back to the doctor, and request some other type of relief. overall, i think it is decent for bone/muscle injury, but not great for other conditions. | F | 27 | 3 months | 10/14/2008 | 2 | surgical pain | itching, severe insomnia and anxiety. Loss of memory after. | itching and insomnia seem to be fairly common with this drug yet I can't find any listings that name insomnia as a side effect. The itching was bad but the insomnia felt like I'd been infused with straight caffeine. Don't like it at all. | F | 61 | 2 times | 10/12/2008 | 5 | Pain from a foot injury. | Extreme itching, cotton mouth, & dehydration. | It works really well for me, but it's different for everyone. It makes me itch, severely, but I'm not allergic. It also causes really bad cotton mouth, so keep a glass of water with you; it will hit you like a ton of bricks if you don't eat with it, as well. | F | 20 | 1 weeks | 10/11/2008 | 4 | Severe Low Back Pain | Drowsiness, Loss of appetite, Occasional rash on stomach, Occasional itchiness | I take vicodin as needed each day for back pain. I'd love to stop taking this medication but really need it for pain relief. Aspirin, Tylenol, Tramdol, other meds don't do anything for me. So for now this will have to do. | F | 34 | 7 months | 9/29/2008 | 1 | Knee surgery | Vomiting, nausea, drowsiness, anxiety, no energy | While taking the drug I experienced the vomiting, nausea, & drowsiness and it did little for the pain. The nausea wasn't quite so bad if I lay down for a while. So I quit taking it, had one good day, but the second day, severe anxiety (never suffered from before in my life), shortness of breath, no appetite, takes all my energy to get somewhere in the house then I have to stop and rest. It is just awful. I can't imagine ever being addicted to this drug. | F | 43 | 1 days | 9/27/2008 | 3 | Root Canal | EXTREME ITCHING and sleeplessness | It knocked out the pain, but the itching and insomnia are not worth it. I thought this would help me sleep. It did just the opposite for me. Next time I will take Tylenol P.M. instead. | F | 47 | 2 days | 9/25/2008 | 2 | pain | affected my memory quite a bit and really didn't help with the pain at all | F | | 9/22/2008 | 5 | broke dislocated and shattered fing | I feel numb and high. Slightly addicting. Cotton mouth | Well i screwed my finger up and had surgery and got got a prescription for vicodin. I didn't think it would be like this but it feels good. So far no constipation and i hope to keep it that way. | M | 12 | 4 weeks | 9/18/2008 | 2 | chronic back pain | severe itching, sleeplessness, feeling "wired" | I took this drug with no side effects for years, and now every time i take it i itch horribly and cannot sleep for several hours after taking | F | 34 | 6 years | 9/18/2008 | 1 | tooth removal | forgetfulness was the most bothersome | it didn't work | F | 46 | | 9/4/2008 | 1 | hemorrhoid surgery | Did not work (2 tabs taken at 5mg each). Had to alternate this drug with Torodol(3.5 hours after taking Torodol), and only after 3 days did pain medication (combination of both) start to dull pain to level 3 (out of 10) | F | 43 | 7 days | 8/14/2008 | 4 | Broken arm, 5 fractures humerus | some constipation relieved by eating 1 or 2 apples a day. sometimes made me drowsy | took 2 every 6 hours for the first few weeks, now down to one with a tylenol once or twice a day. helps very much with arm pain from the break and physical therapy. no other side effects other than the constipation which the apples took care of. no high feeling or nausea. heartburn a couple of times. couldn't drink coffee while taking because of the heartburn. no feelings of addiction yet after 4 months, but have been using less and less, going without sometimes for a few days. still taking when before physical therapy now. | F | 58 | 4 months | 8/6/2008 | 4 | Cramps | At first I puked, then when I started getting used to them NO SIDE AFFECTS AT ALL. | This stuff is great. Somehow, now I'm hooked. I am going through withdrawals and it is not good. This medicine is only good when you take it for a short period of time then stop. Otherwise you will suffer withdrawals like me. Be very glad you don't live with me. | F | 38 | 1 years | 8/1/2008 |
