Hydrocodone / ibuprofen for Pain "I had a broken wrist. Ended up with carpal tunnel syndrome. The doctor did surgery, still was in pain after taking Lortab 5 with Tylenol. The nerve from carpal tunnel became very inflamed and I walked the floor like a wild animal. Ended in the ER, they gave me Vicoprofen, which really helped the nerve pain. I used to take ibuprofen 800 mg, 2 a day, years ago."

Hydrocodone / ibuprofen for Pain "I just had all four wisdom teeth pulled out. I was put on ibuprofen 800 mg, and it did not do crap for the pain. Went back to the dentist and was put on Vicoprofen. I do admit it works great for the pain, but only for 4 hours. 1 hour after I would take the pill, I would vomit like clockwork. It also left me feeling sick all day and very, very tired! After getting sick, I would fall asleep for a few hours. I don't know what's worse, being in pain with the 800 mgs of ibuprofen or being sick all day on the Vicoprofen :("

For Pain "I have been in severe all-over body pain for about 4 years now. I am only 26, so no doctor believed me when I talked about how debilitating my pain was. I wouldn't even get on the floor with my 4-year-old because I was not able to get up off the floor without being in excruciating pain from my body getting stiff on me. FINALLY, after several doctors, my current doctor discovered I have fibromyalgia. Until you experience the real pain that it truly has, you cannot be cynical about it, as I once was. I now live in pain, but this medication I take every 4 hours, 1 x 7.5/200, and can actually enjoy life. No, I'm not COMPLETELY pain-free, but I'm no longer nauseated from too much Tylenol, and for bad days, I take oxycodone."

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!"

Hydrocodone / ibuprofen for Pain "Was prescribed following surgical tooth extraction. Worked good, let me finally get some rest, albeit after getting sick for the first dose. I get sick on the first dose of most pain meds, though, pretty sure it's common."

For Pain "Prescribed this drug following hernia surgery. Took a while for it to kick in, but when it did, it worked great. Had to take every 6 hours to remain effective. Stopped taking as soon as pain got better to avoid building up tolerance; may need it again in a month or so. I'm having oral surgery."

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."

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."

Hydrocodone / ibuprofen for Pain "It does help with my pain from having trouble with TMJ, but I have been nauseous a lot lately. Usually, when my jaw acts up, I get major migraines and am sensitive to light and even end up throwing up and having to put pressure until it goes away - but now I can take this and it goes away fast."

For Pain "Cheap, short term only, good for a couple of hours of moderate pain relief. Taking 3-5 of 7.5/325 a day with the Butrans patch. With this combination at their maximum effectiveness brings my knee and hip pain from a 7-9 to a 3-4. Only downside of the hydrocodone is mild constipation and slight drowsiness."

For Pain "I have a failed fusion, the hardware broke in my back a couple years ago, but I injured myself in 2008 dead lifting. I've been on every pain pill known to man. Here are the facts: it takes 35 minutes to kick in and will give 4 hours of good relief, after that, it's downhill. 8/10"

For Pain "Have been on Vicoprofen 7.5/200 mg for about 4 years now for fibromyalgia. It is the only thing I've found that helps. It's sad that you can't find doctors anymore to write these meds. The downside is I have to keep taking one every 4 hours to keep the pain down, and that's if I'm not doing anything physical. But I'm supposed to take 1 every 6 hours. And if I'm doing anything physical and the pain is bad, I have to take 2, but it gets rid of the pain completely. Also, I haven't built up a tolerance, as I have with other meds like Klonopin. But this med actually works better for my anxiety than actual anxiety medicine. So it is a 2 for 1. Just can't get my doctor to write me 5 a day, which is what I really need."

For Pain "Very good for pain and as a cough suppressant. Doesn't seem to make me nauseous like codeine. The only caveat is that it will make your prostate swell, so you may get a burning prostate after extended use if you already have BPH."

For Pain "After many surgeries beginning in 2003 with bilateral mastectomies, then 7 rib pain from broken surgeries on my right leg/knee, I have had to use many pain medications and have now been left with one leg longer, residual shingles nerve pain, rib pain. Hydrocodone has proven to be adequate to handle the different types of discomfort left after any and all treatment is now done. I have had good results from this particular generic. Others used, Activis, Watkins, have caused irritability, severe itching of the scalp and face without rash, and less control over the pain and aching. Quality of life is so important."

For Pain "Have a “weak spot” in my back, and I’ll turn the wrong way, and the pain is so bad I’ll fall to my knees. Can’t sit, can’t stand. Can’t move without rolling in pain. Dr. gave me hydrocodone 7.5/325, flexeril 10 mg, and told me to get a deep tissue massage at the chiropractor's. The hydrocodone? Erased the pain for about 3-4 hrs. I had Percocet before, and it made me sick to my stomach. Hydrocodone didn’t. Took it for three days. First day - took 4. Second day - 3. Last day, only needed one at the end of the day. Didn’t make me “loopy” or wanting more. Made the pain tolerable while the muscle healed. Got a little constipated, but that was a small price to pay for relief from excruciating pain."

Hydrocodone / ibuprofen for Pain "I really get excellent relief from this medication. It's very hard to find, but if you are to get a prescription for it and if your pharmacy knows you well, they will reorder it if you're taking it monthly, while deciding over surgery or to continue physical therapy. The nerve pain associated with my accident and compression fractures, and my nerves is a bit too much. I also find great relief in the lidocaine patches, another very costly form of relief, but I will pay the money to not suffer from this pain. It can be unbearable!"

For Pain "As someone who has chronic pain issues, as well as having had a lot of surgeries, I can tell you that I have taken many painkillers. I normally have the best results with Lortab 10/500 (hydrocodone 10/500), but I really think for muscle and skeletal pain, Vicoprofen works much better. Most doctors these days are so concerned about the Tylenol issues with the liver that they prescribe Norco (hydrocodone 10/325), and it is almost totally ineffective, at least for me. I would highly recommend Vicoprofen as it works very, very well. I even think the Vicoprofen 7.5/200 is working better for my low back/hip pain than the Lortab 10/500."

Hydrocodone / ibuprofen for Pain "My dentist prescribed Vicoprofen for pain following a tooth extraction that wasn't healing well. I am 30 and pretty healthy, took it at dinner. Was up all night throwing up. Felt dizzy, confused, and anxious. Horrible. Didn't help the pain any either."

Hydrocodone / ibuprofen for Pain "I got my wisdom teeth pulled 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."

Hydrocodone / ibuprofen for Pain "This medicine worked well while waiting for the infection from an abscessed tooth to subside in order for it to be extracted. (And anyone who's had an abscessed tooth knows what real pain is.)"
