Reviews for Vicodin

"I was born with a gene called HLAB27+. I have arthritis and connective tissue disorder. As a child, I tried to play but got tired and it was too painful to stay up for long periods of time. I stayed in bed a lot. I tried to ride bikes with my friends as a teen but struggled. It wasn't until a doctor put me on pain meds in my 40s that I felt relief for the first time. Now the medical field is trying to reverse this decision. They need to hear the other side from people who have been helped. It is not our fault if people misuse their medication. I really do not believe this is the cause of the epidemic. Drunk drivers are caused by drinking too much and driving. If you don't drink excessively and don't drive while drinking, then there's no issue. The same applies here. I truly had no life before this pain medicine."

"I am 28 and have severe RA and fibromyalgia. I was on Darvocet, which worked well. But then that was taken off the market. I've been on Vicodin for a little while now, and it works wonders for me, which is great since I'm up chasing my 5-year-old all day. It's the only other medicine I've tried that actually works."

"I have been taking vicodin over 10 years and most of it for back pain. Now have osteoporosis, scolosis, arthritis and more. I have always cut the pills in half and never over used them. My dr gives me 2 prescriptions a year and I make them last. I have not had any side effects from this med and take a half most of the time. A whole one only if in severe pain. Sometimes do not take them for months depending on my pain level"

"I used to play golf three days a week, but with much pain afterward. I've been put on Vicodin on a regular basis. I take it as needed, not more than prescribed, and it has worked wonders."

"As a change, I was given Vicodin for rheumatoid arthritis, as other medicines weren't controlling pain that much. So far, it has helped a lot."

"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."
