| 1 | Severe abdominal pain and sleep aid | None, i had no effects. It did not affect me in any way, shape or form. | It was very lame. i took it when i couldn't sleep like the doctor suggested. My family and i have a history of immunities and resistance to drugs, but vicodin ALWAYS wipes out my mom and sister, but when i took it and 2 hours later felt the same, i gave up. | F | 16 | 1 times | 1/18/2008 | 5 | Post-surgical pain | The only side effects I experience are extremely good ones. It takes all of my pain away and leaves me feeling happy and energetic. I never get tired, nauseated, itchy, or dizzy on it. I guess Vicodin affects different people differently. Also, I took both Darvocet and Percodan for dental procedures and they made feel pukey before knocking me out. Codeine does absolutely nothing for me - Aleve works better, in my opinion. | Wish I could take it every day! (But I know that I cannot because of its addictive properties.) | F | 30 | 14 days | 1/13/2008 | 1 | Root canal | Insomnia, jittery | I was instructed to only take this before going to bed because it would make me very drowsy. Then why do I feel like I just had a whole pot of coffee? This wasn't listed in the side effects yet so many people seem to experience this. It did take the pain away for a few hours but I feel miserable. I can't sleep! I will NEVER take Vicodin again. Plain ibuprofen works so much better. | F | 36 | 1 days | 1/8/2008 | 1 | Wisdom teeth extraction | Nausea, Vomiting, Insomnia | After removing wisdom teeth I took Vicodin every 4 hours. By the third pill I was feeling nauseous and felt like throwing up. Laying down helped but in the end I threw up twice. Also had trouble falling asleep at night. Would wake up in the middle of the night randomly. Pain relief was okay but the negatives far outweigh the benefit. How could this drug be addicting?? I will never use it again. | M | 24 | 1 days | 1/5/2008 | 3 | Knee Injury | Moderate relief of pain, mild euphoria, relaxed state for 45-60 minutes. Then sleepiness accompanied with disturbing nightmares. Encountered withdrawal symptoms when dose wears off (headache, anxiety, severe depression, spacey-headed, confused) | Anyone with history of depression or addictive tendencies should think twice before taking this. The pain relief was only moderate, and the "high" feeling is short-lived and definitely not worth the depression/anxiety that follows once the drug wears off. After 2 days, I am discontinuing and taking Advil instead. | F | 42 | 2 days | 1/3/2008 | 4 | herniated disks | some nausea, vomited once in the begining, never happy, mood swings, hot flashes, cold all the time also, decreased sex drive | this pill takes the pain away most of the time. i always have constant pain in my legs cause by my herniation pressing agaist my nerves. I used to be this fun laughing girl but now im always sad, always angry, get mad at the easiest things, thoughts of suicide. I love this drug but i can see how its making me become a different person. i dont like the way i am now that i am taking vicodin but i need it. this sucks! | F | 18 | 6 months | 1/1/2008 | 5 | 2 Herniated disks & Sciatica | Sometimes my nose with itch shortly after taking it, and I get extremely hyper. | Vicodin 10/325 really works for me! However, I believe I've developed a slight allergic reaction to it as sometimes it makes my nose itch. But the nose itching is worth the pain relief that I experience for hours after taking one. It not only takes the pain away but also makes me very hyper and happy! (cannot take anywhere near bed time!) I want to talk, talk, talk. My husband laughs and calls me a sketch. All joking aside though, it does work for me, but I can only allow myself to take them when I'm in extreme pain as this drug can be very addicting because I feel so good when not in pain. I would not suggest this drug for anyone who has an addictive personality! | F | 39 | 10 years | 12/18/2007 | 5 | Tennis elbow | some itchiness, disoriented "hazy" feeling, trouble finishing sentences, very pleasant euphoric feeling | This drug took the edge off of what my doctor called the worst case of tennis elbow he'd ever seen. Helps tremendously with menstrual cramps too! | F | 32 | 4 days | 12/16/2007 | 4 | for pain... and other reasons. | stomach ache, fast heartbeat, drowsy, energetic, itchy nose, itchy eyes. | i can honestly say this drug works wonders. it helps me very much whenever i am in pain.. or whenever i need it. other then the side effects, it's greaaaat. | F | 20 | 1 years | 12/15/2007 | 3 | wisdom teeth removal | itchiness, talkative tendency to stare off in space, once you can finally get to sleep you will have crazy realistic dreams. | this medicine only help the pain for about 2 hours and then makes your really tired after the hyperness goes away. only take as prescribed it's very addictive and will leave you with horrible headaches if your on it for a couples of days or week and then suddenly stop | F | 20 | 1 weeks | 12/14/2007 | 2 | pain control for tonsillitis | itchiness, depression | I'm very jealous of everyone who says this drug worked for them to reduce the pain. It helps me out for about an hour, and I can only take one every 4 hours. It kicks it nearly 2 hours after I take it, and wears off about an hour later, and even for that one hour the pain is reduced to a level that is just hardly bearable instead of constantly searing. I have never taken any other narcotics so I don't know why I would have such a tolerance against this powerful drug. And the itchiness is unrelenting. I'm not sure about the depression, but I cry uncontrollably from the pain, and this is very out of character for me. Far from any euphoric effect other people have reported. | F | 23 | 1 days | 11/30/2007 | 3 | hand injury | extreme itching, dry mouth, insomnia | I hate this drug! It made me feel woozy and out of control of my own mind. I also itched like crazy all the time, couldn't sleep; and when I did sleep I had nightmares. | M | 29 | 2 days | 11/29/2007 | 3 | deviated septum surgery | constipation, agitation, hallucinations, difficulty urinating | This stuff will turn you into a cranky female dog. I'm the easiest going guy you'll ever meet, but lately even the people on tv are irritating me and making me angry. I personally cannot see how this drug can be addicting. | M | 20 | 5 days | 11/25/2007 | 5 | F | | 11/15/2007 | 3 | dissected artery | severe constipation, inability to sleep, hallucinations, itchy skin, brief euphoria, inabality to put a concept into words for at least an hour. | I can work on this drug, but god forbid should I need it before I go to sleep. While in the hospital, I had hallucinations ranging from hearing voices to seeing small, childlike shadows in the room. Dreamt I was suffocating. Often woke up screaming for help. | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 11/2/2007 | 2 | Bunion Surgery | Nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, sensitive to sound and light | Percosets were prescribed to me for the pain from my lapidus bunion surgery (which by the way feels like a bus ran over my foot), I asked for a different pain killer because the percoset made me nauseous, so the Dr. prescribed vicodin. I had heard great things about this drug so I was excited to try and get rid of my pain. last night i took it for the first time after dinner, and i was in a state of euphoria for hours. i didn't feel anymore pain in my foot, in fact, it felt like there was a warm blanket around my foot (it was actually a cast). I took one more pill before I went to bed, and slept like an angel. woke up happy and giddy that I had found the perfect pain killer, so i popped another one at 7am. i've been sick ever since. can't get out of bed because i am dizzy and feel like throwing up. haven't eaten much today because the thought of food makes me even more sick. i am going to try cutting the dosage in half, but i am hesitant since the nausea is overbearing and i w | F | 36 | 2 days | 10/25/2007 | 3 | back pain | constipation,itching at first but went away.headache and nausea only after reduced dosage after surgery and tried to stop taking.6weeks on drug and am trying to stop asap!!!!!!!! wish never started. | F | 44 | 6 weeks | 10/19/2007 | 1 | to get high, sadly | irratability, vomiting, anxiety attacks, seizures, ect. | do not take it if you do not have a presription!!! | F | 16 | 7 times | 10/18/2007 | 4 | Bunion removal with replacement of great toe joint same foot due to arthritis | Took pain away immediately when the tyleno with codene did not. 24 hrs later I do not like the nausea and plan to taper off from 2 pills to 1 or the codene tomorrow. Not sleeping but am tired, resisting urge to call my friends and chat away. | F | 61 | | 10/12/2007 | 3 | Pain relief, minor surg. | Dry mouth and nightmares | helped with the pain, not sure if it is worth it... I've only been taking 1/2 of what was prescribed, took two halves before bed and had terrible dreams (some sleep paralysis) | F | 25 | 2 days | 10/10/2007 |
