| 3 | tooth pain (absess) | This medicine works well for pain, but the side effects for me were severe--especially the itching all night long. I was up all night itching, so I was no longer in pain, but couldn't get to sleep! | F | 34 | 7 days | 3/29/2005 | 5 | cancer | none | it made the pain tolerable. | F | 33 | 7 days | 3/24/2005 | 5 | sleep aid | I absolutely love the cough syrup/ vicodin mix. i was prescribed it by my doctor when I had severe bronchitis. It helped me stop coughing so much but I found that it works extremely fast and makese me feel like my body is a sack of jello. I love, LOVE, love it! It is an understatement for me to say I have trouble sleeping so sometimes I take a tiny tiny swig of it and hop into bed and get an amazing nights rest. My whole life has been spent walking around in a haze because I can't fall asleep and have to spend the whole rest of the next day exhausted. I will run out of this soon and will have to go back to running 3 miles a day again to tire myself out but I am sure it is for the best since vicodin pills, I'm assuming, would be too dangerously addictive for me. | F | 25 | 2 months | 3/14/2005 | 5 | WRIST PAIN | MADE ME VERY THIRSTY AND HYPER. LOVED IT! | HAVE BEEN TAKING IT FOR A WHILE, TWO YEARS STRAIGHT. CAN'T SEEM TO GET OFF OF IT. TRYING TO GET OFF OF IT. BUT IT WORKS GREAT. | F | 25 | 2 years | 2/28/2005 | 4 | Craniotomy & Plate in Skull | Very slight nausea, so I would take only half of a pill at a time, depending on the pain level. | I have a bone tumor in the bones of my skull. Had brain surgery, and part of the tumor removed - with a metal plate put in my skull. Sometimes I get very, very painful headaches. As, the tumor has spread to my eye socket. This is the only medication that is able to reduce the headache so I can carry on with life and | F | 47 | 3 years | 2/21/2005 | 5 | Tore acl | Nothing never took more than need DOnt Act Like Retards Or crackheads people if u learn to use it right it is a good drug Im on it right now | Like it love it when there isnt any weed or when you are only going to get a few hours of sleep. or you have a toothache | M | 19 | 6 days | 2/19/2005 | 4 | knee injury | Slight fuzzy-headedness, but nothing unbearable. Was able to stay alert enough to work while on this medication. | M | 42 | 10 days | 2/18/2005 | 4 | BOKEN SHOULDER | ITCHY LIKE CRAZY, BAD DREAMS | GOOD PAIN RELIEF, BUT THINK I'D ASK FOR SOMETHING ELSE NEXT TIME BECAUSE OF THE ITCHING | F | 42 | 10 days | 2/14/2005 | 5 | pain | nice buzz | I got used to it to fast. | F | 45 | 3 months | 2/9/2005 | 4 | wisdom teeth | After taking two it is imposable to stay awake. One I am sleepy and slow, but more fuctional than I am with the pain. I've been lucky in that it has not upset my stomach, even when I took it without food. Maybe not the best choice if you know you have a tendancy to become addicted. | I don't understand what people like about this drug. I've tried to stop taking it early twice now, but without it the pain is so bad I can't sleep, eat, or talk. I don't really like the doped up feeling, but it's better than the pain. I can't wait till I don't need it anymore, but am glad I have it for now. | 3 days | 1/30/2005 | 3 | | 1/25/2005 | 4 | WRIST SURGERY | M | 25 | 2 months | 1/21/2005 | 4 | Tooth abscess, then root canal | Pretty quick pain relief - and this was easily the worst pain imaginable. | Took it according to prescription for about 7 days - the length of time for the antibiotics to kick in and take care of the abscess. Left me a little sleepy but that was about it. Powerful pain, powerful drug - they about evened out. | F | 48 | 7 days | 1/18/2005 | 5 | post ectopic pregnancy surgery | minor constipation, easily relieved by drinking a lot of water and a daily psyllium supplement, drowsiness | provided welcome relief to post surgical pain and made sleeping much easier | F | 28 | 9 days | 1/15/2005 | 2 | Pain after surgery | Digestive tract slow down to the point of severe discomfort. | I'm very thankful that I didn't experience any kind of | F | 36 | 6 days | 1/7/2005 | 4 | back injury | trouble sleeping...like hallucinations...mood swings.. from very happy to very depressed.. depressed when it wears off | takes the pain away for sure but feels very addictive after only taking for one week!!! | F | 62 | 10 days | 12/28/2004 | 4 | Post-arthropastic surgery (joint ) | Itching over arms and torso; some skin irritation, no rash, just sore skin; mild to moderate constipation (stool softener works); was able to relax, helped the post surgical pain (shoulder replacement); able to sleep better if I could overlook itching. Noted some reduced intensity in my overall personality. | As with most drugs, it has its drawbacks, but really helped my pain and, as I could not take some other well known pain suppressants, it was a great tool. Tapered out/off nicely. Only take now when scar tissue acts up with too much activity. | M | 50 | 4 months | 12/26/2004 | 3 | Dental Problems | Itching, felt like I have bugs crawling all over me. It drives me nuts. Also breathing problems. | Vicodin seems to stop the pain okay. It makes me feel really relaxed for a bit and I love that feeling. But when the medication starts to wear off, I start itching like crazy. And I feel aweful. I have had problems breathing when it starts wearing off. Also just feeling lousy. Vicodin does not make me sleepy, it keeps me awake to where I can't sleep. When I do sleep from taking it. It is not a restful sleep. I am actually sleeping but it seems like I am awake the whole time. Kind of like an outer body experience or something. I don't know, but it's weird. I had an allergic reaction to Lorecet Plus which is basically the same thing. And I had demeral and it dont help either. Be careful with the meds though. Very addicting! | F | 27 | 2 months | 12/21/2004 | 5 | neck and shoulder pain | Occasional dizziness | I take vicodin for relief of aches and pains in neck and shoulder area which come and go. I sometimes take only half of one or I take a whole one, but never more than one in a 24-hour period or even a week's period for that matter. I use it occasionally, on average twice a month. I am keenly aware of its addictive nature, so I moderate usage to avoid that. I'm lucky so far that I've been able to take it occasionally, because sometimes Advil just isn't enough and I need to escape the pain full stop! It relaxes me too, which is a nice | F | 37 | 2 years | 12/16/2004 | 1 | For pain after surgery | Absolutely evil nightmares. | I had taken Percocet in the past with no problems. The hospital sent me home with Vicodin, and the first night I popped two in the evening. About 20 minutes later, I felt a bit weird and told my wife | M | 51 | 1 days | 12/15/2004 |
