For Pain "I've had Vicoprofen for 2 years now, so it isn't as effective as it once was. I take it for severe menstrual cramps (will throw up for days straight without it and miss college, etc.) and it was the first drug that ever really worked after YEARS of suffering. Before that, I took 800-1000 mg of ibuprofen every 2-4 hours with nothing close to total relief (and constant fear of a spontaneous stomach bleed). I used to compulsively exercise the pain away, but a car accident took that away from me 3 years ago (and I also take Vicoprofen for pain related to that, but it's less effective for that type of pain). Vicodin (acetaminophen) is wicked on my stomach and made me throw up 3 times before I figured that caused it. Vicoprofen never has."

For Pain "I was prescribed this medication after having a cyst, spur, and small piece of bone taken out of my foot. I highly recommend eating a large meal before taking this pill because if you take it on an empty or somewhat empty stomach, you will have vomiting. Also, since I had close to 20 pills left, I take one pill every 6 hours for my severe menstrual cramps. This is a GREAT medication for pain."

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 "It worked very well for me, but beware of not eating enough before taking. I threw up quite a bit."

For Pain "This medicine was given to me after dental work. It did make me itch, but unlike other hydrocodone medicines, this one did not make me vomit. It knocked out my pain."
