For Pain "Terrible choice! Was prescribed this after wisdom teeth removal surgery and had the most unpleasant side effect experience after taking only 1 pill. It did manage to stop the pain, to be fair, but it gave me 4 hours' nausea, dizziness, and vomiting. Had I known I would experience such severe side effects, I would rather just deal with the pain."

Acetaminophen / hydrocodone for Pain "I have taken 4 of these pills. The first one gave me no pain relief. I took a second 3 hours later. I got pain relief, also dizziness, exhaustion, inability to sleep, crying spells. I tried two pills at bedtime, hoping to get good pain relief and be able to sleep. Was up all night, restless, tossing and turning. Woke up this morning, and now, 10 hours after taking the medicines, I am still nauseated and dizzy."

For Pain "I have been prescribed 5/500 hydrocodone/acetaminophen by my pain management doctor for bulging discs in my neck and lumbar. I've tried Darvocet in the past, which did very little for my pain. Oxycodone, even in small doses, made me very dizzy for some reason. The hydro/acetaminophen combination works well for disc problems and severe headaches brought on by cervical abnormalities. Taken with food, nausea is minimal."

Acetaminophen / hydrocodone for Pain "Doctor gave me a prescription for Vicodin (5-500: hydrocodone/acetaminophen) post shoulder surgery: 1 every 4-6 hrs. It blocked the pain; however, within 12 hours, it made me dizzy and gave me cold sweats and nausea; couldn't stand up or walk without help. Switched to Ultram/tramadol 50 mg, 1 every 6 hours (which worked fine - no side effects)."
