| 5 | scope operation on right knee | Just wild dreams. Really helped relieve the pain at night so I was able to get a good nights sleep. Don't abuse this drug. | M | 63 | 3 weeks 5mg/500mg 1X day | 6/17/2010 | 3 | chronic headaches | itching | this medication took the edge off but not all of the pain, i would take anywhere from 2 to 8 a day would not get the high, like many did, i actually had to drive and go to work on this stuff. the pain eventually subsided and now i am having to go on other meds to get me off of this. i am now down to one per day and my doctor wants me off of it by the end of next week. | F | 50 | 21 days 5/50 2X day | 6/12/2010 | 2 | severe shoulder pain/cant move arm | When I didn't take with food, dizziness, severe nausea, vomitting, pale | Did not touch the pain I was experiencing at all. In no way helped me and actually made me ill. Have taken for tooth abscess in the past, did not help with the pain then either. Does not seem very effective for excessive pain. Oh, and it is prescribed every 4-6 hours, but I only take 1-2 at most per day. No point when it doesn't do much. | F | 39 | 3 days 500mg 4X day | 6/6/2010 | 5 | Car Accident | Sleepy, euphoric, proud, slightly addictive | This is an excellent drug. I was in a car accident, and this dose is the weakest, and it really helped. It was great. The only thing is, is that it makes you feel extremely euphoric. You feel great. It is seriously no joke when people say it. I have a hard time understanding how it is even legal. Please be careful when taking this drug. It should NOT be given to anyone who exhibits addictive tendencies. | M | 25 | 7 days 5mg/500 4X day | 5/30/2010 | 5 | Severe head injury | Calmness, drowsiness, occasional nausea | I was in a car accident and Vicodin helped me by not only relieving pain, but also to relax and get the sleep I needed. I felt nauseous usually only if I hadn't eaten before taking the prescription, so eating before simply resolved the feeling. Unfortunately, it is easy to understand how people get addicted so easily to this drug. When my pain began to subside I slowly stopped taking the prescription over a week to avoid any possible withdrawal symptoms. | F | 19 | 3 weeks 500 mg 4X day | 5/27/2010 | 1 | Dental work/tooth pain | This was one of the worst medications I've ever taken. After only 30 minutes, the room was spinning, I couldn't talk, and I was had extreme nausea. After an hour, I couldn't leave my bed except for trips to the bathroom to vomit. The day after I took one pill, I still had nausea and a hangover type feeling. Never again!!! | F | 31 | 1 days 7.5 mg 1X day | 5/25/2010 | 1 | Wisdom Teeth Removal | Vomiting, Nausea, Dizziness, Cloudy Feeling | At first, I thought it was great. After I got my wisdom teeth removed, I began taking Vicodin with 3 Ibuprofen every 4 hours. Shortly after taking them, I'd fall into a really deep sleep and when I'd wake up I'd talk and say nonsensical things. Because I was on a liquid diet, there wasn't much substance in my stomach and the medicine tore my stomach apart. I vomited for hours on end until there was nothing left and then I proceeded to dry heave for hours. Because of the stress of vomiting, the extraction sites got infected and now I'm miserable and have no effective way to relieve my pain until my appointment tomorrow. Unless you know you can handle a drug like this, STAY AWAY. | F | 18 | 2 days 4X day | 5/18/2010 | 1 | pain after wisdom tooth extraction | None | I actually took only one of these pills and it did almost nothing. I got maybe a teeny bit of pain relief from it, (on top of the Ibuprofen I had already taken), but it was really not worth mentioning. I got much better pain relief from just the ibuprofen. Considering the inconvenience of not being able to drive while on Vicodin, and how ineffective it was, I am never going to use it again... | F | 43 | 1 days ? 4X day | 5/6/2010 | 3 | menstrual cramps | sweating, nightmares, nervousness, headaches | I have horrible menstrual cramps and got prescribed vicodin. It does help cease the pain for a while but makes me sweat terribly and gives me horrible nightmares. I don't feel that it is worth the 3 hours, I will just have to tough it out and find something "extra strength" over the counter. | F | 21 | 4 days 500 mg 2X day | 5/1/2010 | 5 | severe menstrual cramps | Makes me feel a little spacey | I get excruciating menstrual cramps, so painful I cannot walk and are as bad as labor pains. All I could do was roll up in a ball and cry. I have tried 4 Advil at a time and then 3 Aleve, but these don't touch the pain. Vicodin gives me relief for about three to four hours at a time and lets me get some sleep. | F | 40 | 2 days 4X day | 4/26/2010 | 3 | post-ACL surgery | nausea, dizziness, fatigue, confusion | Well, it took my mind off the pain, mostly because I was forced to concentrate on keeping my food down instead. It also helped me sleep through the night- and the majority of the day. Is this really how painkillers are supposed to work? By making you so sick/crazy/distracted that you forget the pain? If so, vicodin does a great job. | F | 18 | 4 days 10 MG 6X day | 4/10/2010 | 3 | Spider bite | Groggy, slight hang over type feeling. Very foggy head if i didnt get ~8 hours of sleep. | Seems like with the Vicodan, if i took it i had a 'window' if you will of time in which to fall asleep, i felt it come on and ignored it twice to finish watching a show. Mistake. If i missed the window the drug did not help me sleep and i end up having a hard time sleeping. However, great sleep if i actually took advantage of what the drug is supposed to do. It did a OK job with the pain. IBprofen actually did alot more for me in that regard. | M | 27 | 5 days 200 mg 1X day | 4/8/2010 | 1 | Wisdom Tooth Extraction/ Rootcanal | Nauseated, DIZZY, bloated, talkitive, wierd TV perception (Fuzzy), HOT AND COLD SWEATS | At the moment this is my second Vicodin today... I just chilled on the couch for a bit, it did lessen the pain... my pain came back 5 hours later so I took another. When the pain subsided I then tried to straighten my hair and couldnt finish because i was EXTREMELY dizzy and nauseated AND BEGAN SWEATING PERFUSELY. . to the point my boyfriend asked me if I wanted to go to the hospital. Now im waiting to come down and take a TYLENOL. I am so done with these pills. THEY SUCK!!! | F | 26 | 1 days 10mg 4X day | 4/7/2010 | 5 | Wisdom Tooth Extraction | Sleeping- Lucid dreams to the point where I was unable to distinguish dream from reality. Sometimes I would feel as though I was halfway between sleep and being awake. | M | 25 | 3 days 500 1X AN | 3/30/2010 | 3 | unilateral ligament surgery | Constipation and light headed initially, after a week was able to identify: insomnia, agitation, memory impairment, anxiety, less effective and willingness to verbally communicate, reduced sexual desire, lethargy. | It was great for pain relief after my hand surgery, I had to overlap dosage and build up a presence in my body for relief. When I would reduce the dosage, my hand would throb with pressure and pain. The side effects sneak in and tally up, but immediate pain relief has its drawbacks, I imagine there never will be a wonder pharmaceutical, at least for myself. | M | 28 | 3 weeks 500 3X day | 3/20/2010 | 5 | back pain, leg pain from diabetis | DRY MOUTH, DIZZYNESS, LIGHTHEADEDNESS, EUPHORIA, TIREDNESS. | TOOK THIS DRUG FOR OCCASSIONAL PAIN, BECAUSE TYLENOL would not work. I DO LOVE THIS DRUG, CAN BE A LIFE SAVER. HAD TO QUIT DRINKING ALCOHOL, BECAUSE OF DIABETIS DRUGS, SO I"LL USE IT AS A SUBSTITUTE OCCASSIONAL, NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. NO REAL SIDE EFFECTS, BECAUSE I TAKE IT IN VERY LOW DOSES AND JUST FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS IN A ROW, ABOUT 1 PILL PER DAY (5/500) MG TABLET. I"D BE LOST WITHOUT IT, PLUS HELPS ME RELAX AND TAKE MY MIND OFF OF THE DIABETIS. I WOULD RECCOMMEND TO ANYONE THAT DOSEN"T HAVE AN ADDICITIVE PERSONALTY. | M | 55 | 3 years 5/500 1X day | 3/5/2010 | 4 | Chronic Pain | sore throat, trouble urinating, tiredness. | F | 42 | 2 years 7.5 mg 6X day | 3/5/2010 | 1 | Moh's surgery/plastic surgery | severe itchiness the night of taking next two days only after taking 1 pill-dizziness, nausea, fatigue and painful earpain | Yikes. Would not take again. Almost fainted on the subway 2 days later. Think I will go with tylenol extra strength in future. | F | 47 | 1 days 500 mg 1X day | 2/14/2010 | 5 | severe menstrual cramps | felt a little spacey | I have very severe menstrual cramps, so bad that I cannot walk and double over from the pain. For once, I had total pain relief not provided by any other pain reliever. | F | 48 | 3 days 500/50 2X day | 2/13/2010 | 2 | DJD on four spinal joints(chronic) | A little wound up | Does not do much for my pain condition think I need to talk to dr about something else. | M | 31 | 2 months 5/500 3X day | 2/10/2010 |
