VICODIN  (ACETAMINOPHEN; HYDROCODONE BITARTRATE):  This combination medication is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains an opioid (narcotic) pain reliever (hydrocodone) and a non-opioid pain reliever (acetaminophen). Hydrocodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever. This product is not recommended for use in children younger than 6 years due to an increased risk of serious side effects (such as slow/shallow breathing).   FDA Approval Date: 1983-01-07 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Wisdom Tooth Extraction I couldn't keep ANYTHING in my stomach for 24 hours. DON'T RISK IT! If you haven't taken narcotics before and are planning to use it to relieve minor pain, do not risk taking this drug. Five minutes after drinking even a small cup of water, all of it had been returned to the cup. I'll take the pain instead of the vomiting and empty stomach anytime! I had to have an empty stomach before surgery, so it was a total of about 2 days before I could eat or drink again. M 18 1 days

 4  Extreme abdom. Pain None.. I agree with what everyone else has said. It seems to help with my attitude. I call it my happy pill. It kills the pain and I am not tired, actually I am hyper from it. HOWEVER> I now have to see a liver specialist and I have something on my liver. Im only 25 and very afraid of what I might have done to myself and if I can ever really fix it.. F 25 1 years

 1  Husband is taking for back pain Irritable, hateful, obsessive over money, trouble breathing at night, weight gain, VERY VIOLENT behavior. In fact so extreme, that it has ruined his life and thoughts of everything. Constantly cursing me and telling me I am the problem.(Denial??) This is the worst thing I have ever seen! He has been taking for about 1 yr. about 6-7 a day. He is very violent and VERY hateful and irritable. ALL THE TIME! He has admitted to being addicted to them but won't stop. or can't. We have been together for 17 yrs. and I can't take anymore abuse from him because of this addiction. What can I do when he refuses help????? PLEASE, ANYONE TAKING THIS TAKE EXTREME CAUTION ~ IT CAN AND WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE! Also, every night he loses his breathe while sleeping becasue of this med! My friends mother died this same way! This is very serious! His whole outlook on life revolves around this little pill. Not his wife and 3 children. It is tearing up our whole world! M 35 1 years

 4  Back Pain Energetic, sexual urges amplified, stonger food urges, and talkative. Been taking this for a year or so for chronic back pain related to spinal cord injury. I take it for 3 months then switch to percocet. Haven't noticed the addiction thing considering I don't take it every night only when I have pain. Always try to regulate it so I don't get addicted to it. Just always keep in mind your feeling good cause its a drug not because you are truly feeling happy or whatever its effect is. M 24 2 years

 5  pain this is one of the most addictive pain killers available, be VERY CAREFUL, especially if you are prone to any type of addiction. Dangerously ADDICTIVE...I took it for pain initially, then started to take it because it made me feel better about life. Very hard to withdraw from. Has destroyed the lives of several people I know, including two doctors. Took 1 year to withdraw from. I lost my relationship of 19 years, and my job. It became the only thing I wanted to do. Not worth it. F 42 2 years
