What I like about Vicoprofen, is when I take it (i take 1 and a half pill about 11mg) I can function on it. But what I have noticed is my pain from nerve damage will go away for maybe 2 hours and after that I am back where I started from. Oxycodone is a favorite of mine but that also does not last. I have to take pills every 3 or 4 hours to feel a little comfort. Also I have noticed my bowel movements are a little harder to complete. Vicoprofen is all right with me. On a serious note, Vicoprofen is really easy to get hooked on mind and body, so only take it if you really need it. I may need to take 2 pills because my body is building a tolerance. I still like it!

I was prescribed Vicoprofen after I had some wisdom teeth surgically removed. I have to admit, it worked great. I was in some serious pain, and could tell EXACTLY the minute it started to wear off. But soon as I took another, the pain was gone within minutes.
I can see where it would be habit-forming, as it does give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Kind of euphoric, I guess. Just be careful and only allow yourself to take it when you really need it.
My only complaint is... yes... it does leave you a little constipated for a day or so after you've used it. Get yourself some Dulcolax or something if you're going to be on it for any prolonged period of time.

This medicine was prescribed for pain. It works like Advil but one is as good as three 200 mg tablets or one of the prescribed ibuprofen which is 800 mg.

I'm currently taking Vicoprofen after having dental work done. This has by far been the best pain relieving medication I've taken other than Vicodin. The reason I'm taking this is I also have liver disease and I can't take Vicodin due to the Acetoaminophen in it. Vicoprofen actually produces less sedation and lethargy than Vicodin with me. I am able to still fully function, though I don't drive on them just in case.

Myofacial pain syndrome as well as a rapidly degenerating spine from osteoarthritis and chronic pyelonephritis are controlled reasonably well by Vicoprofen even after triple bypass surgery.

I got my wisdom teeth pulled and and I'm sure a lot of people know how that feels. Well my dentist prescribed me Vicoprofen. I was still in terrible pain even on the drug. I couldn't sleep for 2 days the drug did not help much.

I have back problems. This is the first pill that has relieved my pain and has also restored my ability to have a physical relationship. I could see where it could be addictive, so take only when really needed.

This medicine was given to me after dental work. It did make me itch, but unlike other hydrocodone medicines, this one did not make me vomit. It knocked out my pain.

I've had Vicoprofen for 2 years now, so it isn't as effective as it once was. I take it for severe menstrual cramps (will throw up for days straight without it and miss college, etc) and it was the first drug that ever really worked after YEARS of suffering. Before that, I took 800-1000mg of ibuprofen every 2-4 hours with nothing close to total relief (and constant fear of a spontaneous stomach bleed). I used to compulsively exercise the pain away, but a car accident took that away from me 3 years ago (and I also take Vicoprofen for pain related to that, but it's less effective for that type of pain). Vicodin (acetaminophen) is wicked on my stomach and made me throw up 3 x before I figured that caused it. Vicoprofen never has.
