"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."

"I took it for a cracked rib. But if any of you who have been in this boat know, there is nothing you can do for a cracked rib. But taking Vicodin made the rest of my pain go away from other injuries and did make the cracked rib much easier to deal with."

"I had appendicitis, and the pain after I had surgery was horrible. I'm the sort of person who hates taking medicine, but I gave in and took some. It worked very well. I'm not sure if it was because I couldn't sleep because of the pain or that the Vicodin made me drowsy, but I fell asleep around 30 minutes after I took it every time. A few months later, when I had my wisdom teeth out, I also took Vicodin, and it let me get sleep then too. No other side effects."

"Diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, my physician prescribed two Vicodin a day for pain relief. For the first couple of days, I was drowsy after the noon tablet, but now my body seems to have acclimated itself to the drug, and I'm no longer drowsy, and I'm reasonably pain-free. It isn't perfect, but I gave it an eight out of a possible ten! I don't expect to be on it long enough to worry about addiction."

"Basically, Vicodin worked very, very well for me when I got the two right wisdom teeth pulled. However, when I got the left two pulled about a year later and was on Vicodin, the pain was still so horrid that I couldn't sleep, and it was all I could do not to cry."

"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)."

"I was prescribed Vicodin as a rescue med for migraine. I've only used it 3 times but have had to cease using it because it makes me itchy all over my body. I don't get a rash, just very itch, it drives me nuts. I was taking 2 x 10/325 tablets (after taking 4 mg Zofran). It doesn't completely take away my migraine. I can still function. I need a little nap, then I can get up and work, drive the car, etc. It did wonders for my neck and back pain I am currently getting physio on, but it hasn't been a wonder rescue drug for migraine. I've been given a different narcotic rescue med to try. Hopefully, I won't need to use it. I am on Depakote as a preventative and use Cambia as an abortive. These both work well, especially if I take the Cambia early."
