Who has taken it, and how did it affect you?

I'm not big on taking stuff like this, and have no experience with this drug.

Thanks WMJ!

I have it now for the pain prior to surgery, but I am holding-off on taking it.

Works pretty good IIRC...

It works fairly well, I have a bad back and knees and it usually helps with that, haven't tried in with oral pain before but I think it will help, I would suggest perhaps taking one before bed one night as it will help you sleep well. I wouldn't advise using them if you plan on driving, not until you're accustomed to the way you feel on them.

Thanks Delta, Stang.

I've decided that it just doesn't hurt enough tonight, but I'm keeping them in reserve.

Was wary about taking them (not big on drugs), but for the few days after my back was hurt, they helped so much......

Vicodin is grrrrrrrreat...

I had surgery once at age 14 and they prescribed Vicodin for me. Only took one and had NO more pain as I recovered.

Never taken Vicodin...

But when I had my wisdom teeth out the Dr. Rx-ed me Hydrocodone. It didn't work at all. I took 6 of them in a little under 2 hours (ended up in the emergency room because of the pain) I ended up trying Darvocet and it worked great. It eased the pain so much that I was able to sleep. The surgeon said that was actually a good thing because Darvocet is non narcotic and not as addictive.

I'm very hesitant to take pills (even aspirin) I hated every minute of that $h!. Made me feel stupid and sleepy (I actually drooled on myself a little after the 6 pills in 2 hours episode, LOL)I can't, for the life of me, see why anyone would want to 'trip' pain killers.

Not long after my surgery I was involved in my first really bad Focus wreck. Dr. at the ER wanted to give me pain killers. I refused them because I had spent the last month doped up after the surgery and didn't want to "lose another month of my life"

All that said, if the pain gets real bad, take the pills. Feeling stupid and sleepy is much better than agony.

give Brett Favre a call.

this may be too late since I'm on the west coast, but taking 800mg of advil (4 pills) or equivalent ibuprofen can be a reasonable substitute to vicodin if the pain is not too extreme.

When I had my wisdom teeth pulled, I didn't take my vicodin only ibuprofen.

Who has taken it, and how did it affect you?

I've taken it ... more times than I care to admit.

BUT ... it is good stuff ... and certainly eases the pain. Though, for me, it knocked me out ... and I slept a lot, though that was probably a good thing.

*pauses*

Course, I prefer morphine . lol
