Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: I found that this pain releiver worked well without making me sick to my stomach like most of the other hydrocodone that contain tylenol.

Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: 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.

Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: 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.

Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for 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.

Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: 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.
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: Does wonders for pain! I've tried several other medications and have had the best results by far from Vicoprofen.
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: 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.
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: I had rotator cuff surgery last year and my surgeon had me take Vicoprofen for the pain. It worked great for the 4 or 5 very painful days I experienced post-surgery. But, please don't take it on an empty stomach. It will make you very sick!
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: 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!
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: 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.
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: 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.
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: I was prescribed this medication after having a cyst, spur and small piece of bone taken out of my foot. I highly recommend eating a large meal before taking this pill because if you take it on an empty or somewhat empty stomach, you will have vomiting.
Also, since I had close to 20 pills left, I take one pill every 6 hours for my severe menstrual cramps. This is a GREAT medication for pain.
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: 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.
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: Vicoprofen was prescribed to me after a Laparoscopy (removed ovarian cyst) I hardly felt anything at all. I only need to take it about once every 12 hours. Please eat first. I was lightheaded and confused after taking it once on an empty stomach. Also, don't drink alcohol. My surgery was a few days before Thanksgiving and I had a glass of wine and felt sick to my stomach all night through the next day. Never make that mistake again. Overall the medication was good. Like I said, I felt nothing after taking the pill.
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: Very effective medicine. I got 4 wisdom teeth extracted and was prescribed it. Took a while before it kicked in but when it did my pain was completely gone. Lasted about 3 or 4 hours. I didn't experience many side effects, other than slight constipation and a small sense of dizziness. I slept perfectly fine while on it.
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: This medication has been the most effective pain reliever I have taken for my kidney inflammation and irritation pains. Have tried multiply pain medication but this one is the most efficent for relief and duration.
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: I've been using Vicoprofen for more than 3 years. I take 3 per day for the pain of fibromyalgia and also lingering pain from having had the kneecap dislocated due to a fall. Most of the time I take it on an empty stomach with no problem. Also, I've never had a weight gain because of it or constipation. I have normal daily bowel movements. I can function at a higher than normal level. No problems for me taking Vicoprofen.
Vicoprofen (hydrocodone / ibuprofen) for Pain: This medicine was prescribed to me before I got my wisdom teeth out due to them being impacted and causing a great deal of pain. I noticed immediately that it would provide relief for a long time(6 or more hours) compared to 800mg ibuprofen that would provide small relief for 2-3 hours. It also calmed me. I'm usually a pretty anxious guy and was nervous about my surgery but this helped get me through until I could have permanent relief. Only downside as I noticed I built a tolerance to my dose after a week.
