For Pain "Post op foot pain. Not effective to address pain. Mild side effects: dry mouth, skin feels charged and I am unable to stay asleep due to weird dreams that seem to just "pop" into my head. First day on medicine, I'll call Doctor tomorrow hope he will give me something different."

For Pain "Had lower back surgery in 2000ish. Was taking 750mg before and after surgery. Help with dealing with pain and got me back to work as a roofer. Recently my neck had been giving me problems an a MRI revealed disc herniations, bulging disc, degenerative disc disease, flattening of my left spinal cord and a hamangioma, with pain and numbness in my left arm/hand, neck. I've been treating with 500mg vicodin & 15mg Ms-Contin. Brings pain level down to a tolerable level but as always, somedays are better than others."

For Pain "I take 3 to 5 x 750 during the day(work days) for my back and shoulder pain, due to a car accident. I take 1 before bed time for my shoulder and it works fine. I only take them if I really need them. But they work for me."

For Pain "I recently pulled a lower back muscle trying to put a generator onto a cart at Lowes. The pain was not too bad so I carried on and tried to work through the pain (I have pulled it before) well that was a week ago. Yesterday I went to the gym to sit in the Sauna to help loosen it up, which it did but while walking out I stumbled and my back locked up. The spasm was bad. I managed to get home and I was able to stretch out, but this morning I started getting lower back spasms something fierce. I was unable to move without a spasm. Well right now, still on bed, but I am taking Vicodin (pain) and flexeril (muscle relaxer) I hope to be up soon. Thank you all for your posts. They helped me get through this nightmare."

For Pain "Occasionally I take this for my migraines when I run out of my Midrin. I also have severe neck pain of unknown cause. Works very well, but I'm careful not to take it all the time because I know it is addictive."

For Pain "This medication does not work for me. I have fibromyalgia and my doctor just prescribed me 7.5/500s. I can take only up to 2 per day. I've already taken both, and its not even noon yet. And it didn't make a dent in my pain. Very disappointed."

For Pain "I was prescribed Vicoden to control pain when I got my wisdom teeth taken out and thank goodness I was. This medicine literally takes away all of my pain, which is unusual, because I am very sensitive towards teeth/mouth pain. My only complaint is that about 20 minutes after I take the pill, I literally cannot do anything. I have to lay with my eyes closed because I am literally incapable of doing anything else. But, if this side effect is the worst that I get (which is so far the only side effect), it is a small price to pay for all of my mouth pain to be gone. I would recommend this."

For Pain "Ripped my gastro calf muscle playing tennis...Ouch..very painful and hard to sleep at night. Vicodin helps for mostly on the outside of the injury but not too much within the deep damaged tissue for me. I'd say about 85 percent or so, just enough to ease off the majority of pain for comfort at bedtime."

For Pain "I use Vicodin when I'm in pain. It only helps me for 2 to 3 days then after that nothing seems to help with pain. I've had surgery on my wrist and I am going to have surgery again soon. I fear that I am going to get addicted to it because my dad is addicted to it and I don't want it to happen to me. I need to tell my doctor and ask him what else would help with pain."

For Pain "I'm 24 years old and have three kids. With my last they gave me a water injection twice. The first time it didn't work. They did it a second time and I still felt no relief. A few hours after I had my son I started having major pains shooting up my back. The doctor said it would go away and it didn't. I have a lot of damaged nerves from when the gave me the water injection. I get shooting pains on a regular basis. After my doctor started giving me Vicodin my pain has gone away more than 50 percent."

For Pain "As someone who's experienced a few kidney stones in their lifetime, Vicodin and Advil are the only things that can keep me from squirming in pain on the floor. Vicodin doesn't make me nauseous, whereas oxycodone-based painkillers do."

For Pain "I have used this after my surgery and I give it a 10/10 even though I was only about 14^ this worked very well. My mom would give me the medicine whenever the time it was needed to be given (scheduled). I am currently 16 and The surgery I have received was replacing dieing bone cartilage with live ones from another part of the bone. It was painful/especially during the recovery."

For Pain "I was prescribed this after wisdom removal. It makes me nauseous so I also take zofran which fixes that. It also makes me extremely tired but it takes most of the pain away. Not all of it, but it definitely helps me function a little better"

For Pain "I have had numerous teeth pulled recently, getting ready for dentures and first I was prescribed Demerol which made me feel ill and personally I still felt pain. Then it was Percocet which worked great for pain but made me itch. Finally Vicodin 5 mg which I had to take 1 and a half to knock out all the pain. My dentist tried Vicoprophen 7.5 which worked absolutely perfectly but was a bit expensive compared to regular Vicodin. Well he prescribed Vicodin 7.5/500 and 1 tablet works wonders. I was told that I could take 2 at a time if needed but so far 1 seems to work for about 5 hours. I was told that I could build up a quick tolerance to the drug so I take 800 mg ibuprofen unless I really need the Vicodin."

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 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 Pain "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 am still nauseated and dizzy. "

For Pain "I was given vicodin 5/325 for pain after an infected molar was extracted. It was a complicated extraction and I currently have dry socket. The pain would be making me throw up, unable to function if it weren't for this medication I wouldn't be able to take care of my 2 and 3 year olds, and get stuff done for college while on this med. I only take it 2 or 3 times per day and feel no need to take any more than that so no addiction here."

For Pain "I have had 3 shoulder surgeries in 16 months. My pain medications have been changed several times. I also have had gastric bypass, so this medication upsets my stomach a lot. I am working with my doctor to change me to something that protects my pouch and liver."

For Pain "Vicodin is an excellent pain killer for oral or any kind of surgery to bring home. It doesn't make me sick to my stomach the way some other pain pills do. I have Fibromyalgia and CFS and took it for that type of pain but it was too short acting and I needed to keep increasing the dose. It also has a lot of Tylenol in it for long term use which can damage the liver so I'm on something else now for my Fibromyalgia pain. It does the job very well for short term pain relief."

For Pain "Diagnosed with Carpel 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."

For Pain "Prescribed when I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. This worked well on the first day at taking the pain away, but I was unable to sleep. After about the third dose severe nausea kicked in, as well as constipation and insomnia. "

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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 mush easier to deal with."

For Pain "I've been on both 5/325 and 7.5/325 after different surgeries and both dosages worked well. It's my trusted painkiller that causes the least amount of side effects. I prefer the lower dosage because it's easier to discontinue when the medication runs out."
