For Pain "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."

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)."

For Pain "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."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I have tried different medications (Dilaudid, Percocet) as I have had 2 knee replacements and another because 1 became infected. Vicodin has been better because of fewer side effects."

For Back Pain "There are only a few temporary pain medications that are better than this, and this should be highly considered upon initial severe pain relief until a more permanent solution can be sought after."

For Back Pain "The only medication that works for me is the new revised Vicodin 300 mg, acetaminophen, not the Norco 325 acetaminophen. I've tried both of them, and I feel like the 300 is much stronger!"
