| 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 I was heading to bed. I awoke about 4 AM after having the worst nightmares of my life. This stuff touches areas of your brain that you really don't want to go near. I threw out the rest of the bottle in the morning. | M | 51 | 1 days | 12/15/2004 | 2 | Hand injury | Could not sleep, paranoid, felt like throwing up, dizzy also my breathing was impaired. The following day I felt really bad, dettached, tired and stomach hurt. | The pain was relieved, but made me feel so bad that I will never take this medication again. | M | 38 | 1 days | 12/1/2004 | 4 | wisdom teeth | Dizziness, lethargic, different state | F | 22 | 5 days | 11/26/2004 | 2 | hernia surgery | EXTREME STOMACH CRAMPS | I was not careful enough about dosage. The label said | M | 46 | 13 days | 11/18/2004 | 4 | post surgical pain | Within 15 minutes of taking vicodin, would get | F | 39 | 2 weeks | 11/13/2004 | 4 | post surgical pain | Within 15 minutes of taking vicodin, would get foggy and sleepy. Relieved or dulled most of the pain in my abdomin, however I would be knocked-out for 4 hours. Also noticed a considerable drop in appetite. | F | 39 | 2 weeks | 11/13/2004 | 4 | Neck (gland) pain | Extreme drowsiness. | Vicodin knocks me out,takes the pain away and I awake without feeling drugged or slow. Have only taken it in cases of extreme pain. Don't get why people would want to take it on a regular basis, but for pain it works really well. | F | 41 | | 11/8/2004 | 1 | P.O. pain | None. | Anytime I need a narcotic pain killer vicodin is never strong enough to kill the pain. I allways end up needing percocet as a take home pain killer. Even percocet dosn't really help, but its just ment to take your mind off the pain a little not to actually stop it. Vicodins hardly a pain killer it never works for me. I used it for 2 days then called up the doc for percocet. | M | 23 | 2 days | 11/5/2004 | 5 | Shoulder Injury | occasionally irritaed stomach when taken without food. When taken with even 2 crackers i was fine. | Vicodin has helped me go back to my normal routine instead of feeling pain all the time. It is addictive so use logical judgement. But, overall it is an amazing drug, and has helped me alot. | M | 21 | 2 years | 11/2/2004 | 3 | back pain | headache, itching and insomnia | took care of the pain but kept me awke all night. | 33 | 1 months | 10/31/2004 | 2 | broken wrist | Constipation, itchy, dry mouth, puffy feeling like being bloated. Not a good pain reducer at 750 mg. | Would not take in the future. I already stopped, rather take the pain. | M | 57 | 7 days | 10/25/2004 | 5 | Wisdom teeth extraction | I took it for two nights in a row, then months later when I had bad menstral cramps. Noticed the next morning that I felt sad and depressed. Unsure if this is a usual side effect. | Excellent for relieving pain, and almost instantaneous. | F | 30 | 3 days | 10/15/2004 | 4 | arthritis/scoliosis | Thirst, Headaches (not sure if it is related to the meds), Constipation, Zoned out feeling (high), Feel slow sometimes. None of these side effects affect me to the point that I can't function. | Rx was written for take 1-2 every 6 hours Currently I am taking 5/500mg as needed. Some times I can go days with out it. Other days I have to take it 2 times at this point I have not exceeded 2 per day. | F | 24 | 2 months | 10/13/2004 | 4 | Severly sprained shoulder | EXTREME itching all over body when taken before bed. | I have been unable to sleep soundly because this drug makes me itch all over my body. After the first night I was unsure what caused me to wake up constantly scratching, but the second night on Vicodin answered the question. Same sensation. Funny thing is that I've taken Vicodin several times before for different ailments and have never experienced this side effect previously. Not sure I can endure another itchy night. I might prefer the pain. | M | 2 days | 10/12/2004 | 3 | back | woozy | M | 36 | 16 days | 10/11/2004 | 3 | take off the edge | hard to get off | F | 27 | 3 months | 10/9/2004 | 4 | chronic muscle/joint pain | very mild occasional muscle twitch, dry mouth, dry eyes. Some sleepiness. | Worked OK until I built up tolerance, now take it in combination with Avinza (time release morphine). | F | 31 | 9 months | 9/25/2004 | 3 | broken collar bone | Constipation and difficulty in urinating. | The first pills you could feel working within the hour, but after several days I could not feel the initial | M | 35 | 5 days | 9/23/2004 | 5 | | 9/17/2004 | 3 | Severe stomach pain possibly IBS | I usually bite it in half or take a third because I don't want to get addicted. It is effective that way. Originally felt peaceful, relaxed when taking it. Now I switched to Lortab and am getting nausea. I didn't realize Vicodin and Lortab were so different. I don't recall getting nausea with Vicodin yet. But Vicodin is severely tempting to take for stress and mental peace. I have 2 bottles and am worrying already about running out. I find myself lapping up the crumbs after biting it. Sounds like I'm slightly getting addicted. | Do not give in to the tempation to take it for stress. You will regret it later in life. | 6 months | 9/10/2004 |
