Acetaminophen / hydrocodone for Pain "I have a lower fractured back due to a car accident. This medication is the only one that takes my pain away and lets me function normally. I am a preschool teacher, so I have to stay on top of my job, and Vicodin definitely helped me do that. Just make sure you eat a good meal before taking this, otherwise, you may become nauseous."

For Pain "This medicine is the worst. I've never felt so sick in my life. My dentist prescribed this for my wisdom tooth extraction, and I almost threw up my whole life!!! I don't know why they even give this to anyone, period, and yes, I did eat before taking it!"

Acetaminophen / hydrocodone for Back Pain "This medicine is good if you can get past the side effects. I was sick, dizzy, felt like throwing up, felt like I was on a ship moving fast, or like car sickness. I went to see a dentist, and he told me how best to take the medicine. Take Dramamine 30 minutes before, make sure to lay down, don't get in the car, and do not watch TV. Everything he told me was right."

For Pain "Went into my dentist to get temp relief from a severe toothache (so severe I can't eat, I feel like throwing up, swollen mouth, and have a fever). The pain med he prescribed was Narco. I went to the pharmacy and ended up getting Generic Narco, MFG Mallinckrodt (5-325TB). All this did was make me nauseous and dizzy (eyes felt like they were going to pop out of my head!) and I was still in severe pain! I almost threw up with how nauseous it made me and how much pain I was in! I also still had a fever! I'm going to have to go into Urgent Care just to get a different prescription to get me through the weekend! Do not get Mallinckrodt!"

For Back Pain "I take this for chronic back and leg pain. Mallinckrodt hydrocodone was terrible for me. Simple as that. Tried it for a month and almost a little pain relief, but not like Aurobindo. Mallinckrodt hydrocodone also made me nauseous, wanted to vomit a few times also. Went back to Aurobindo. Now it seems difficult to get filled. Not available in the Omaha area. Numerous pharmacists have told me, can't get that brand."

For Pain "I have two fractured vertebrae from a car wreck. At first, my Dr. prescribed me Percocet 5/325, it worked, but for me, the side effects (nausea, itching, and sleeplessness) were awful. He then switched me to Lortab 7.5/500, and wow! Not only is the pain-killing effectiveness just as strong (if not stronger) than the Percocet, but I have experienced NOT ONE negative side effect."

Acetaminophen / hydrocodone for Pain "I was given Vicodin 5/325 for pain after an infected molar was extracted. It was a complicated extraction, and I currently have dry socket. The pain would be making me throw up, unable to function. If it weren't for this medication, I wouldn't be able to take care of my 2 and 3-year-olds and get stuff done for college while on this med. I only take it 2 or 3 times per day and feel no need to take any more than that, so no addiction here."

Acetaminophen / hydrocodone for Pain "I was prescribed this after wisdom removal. It makes me nauseous, so I also take Zofran, which fixes that. It also makes me extremely tired, but it takes most of the pain away. Not all of it, but it definitely helps me function a little better."

Acetaminophen / hydrocodone for Pain "Very good for pain, but left me very foggy and nauseous, not able to do much else but sit on the couch and watch football. The Norco hangover the next day was no fun either. Will use only when necessary."

For Back Pain "I fractured two vertebrae in a car accident last month. At first, I was prescribed Percocet 5/325, but for me, the side effects (nausea, itching, sleeplessness) were not worth it. So my Dr. switched me to Vicodin 7.5/500, and wow! There were no negative side effects, and the pain relief was good."

For Pain "Used short term for tooth pain. It definitely helped me get by until I got to the dentist and got the tooth pulled. These pills have always made me feel a little sick to my stomach, so I have to be in severe pain before I will take them."

Acetaminophen / hydrocodone for Pain "Prescribed when I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. This worked well on the first day at taking the pain away, but I was unable to sleep. After about the third dose, severe nausea kicked in, as well as constipation and insomnia."

Acetaminophen / hydrocodone for Pain "Vicodin is an excellent painkiller for oral or any kind of surgery to bring home. It doesn't make me sick to my stomach the way some other pain pills do. I have fibromyalgia and CFS and took it for that type of pain, but it was too short-acting, and I needed to keep increasing the dose. It also has a lot of Tylenol in it for long-term use, which can damage the liver, so I'm on something else now for my fibromyalgia pain. It does the job very well for short-term pain relief."

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 was originally prescribed this for a foot injury. Not one for pain medicines, I reluctantly take these once in a while. However, the last couple of times I have taken them at night due to body aches and pains, it killed the pain, but my sleep was filled with vivid dreams, and I could not reach the deep sleep. I woke up with a headache, hangover feeling, and totally drained throughout the next day - not worth it in my opinion with the side effects I am experiencing. Use with caution."

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 recently had to change brands since I can no longer purchase medicines from my pain management doctor. I ended up with Carico brand 10/325 and don't know why I feel such a bad bellyache from them. Overall, they do help with pain, but this particular brand makes me very nauseated."

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."

"This is the greatest drug invented. I have degenerative disc disease and I am still very young and have young children. These don't make me sleepy like most other pain medicines, and I am able to care for my children and go to work every day. It really helps with my pain. It does make me a little nauseated, but I found if I eat a little, that helps. I don't know what I would do without it."

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)."

Acetaminophen / hydrocodone for Pain "Mallinckrodt 10/325 is utter trash. Felt nauseous, then binge ate, then became rageful. I reported it to Mallinckrodt but they don't care. Disgusting manufacturer."
