Conundrum 1 #1 May 16, 2005 I've never taken it and my dentist prescribed it to me for the pain in my jaw (wisdom tooth infection). What should I expect? /end stupid question Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartsDaddy 7 #2 May 16, 2005 double the dosage and add a six pack of beer then they are OK. Other then that they never did much for me. Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebazz1 2 #3 May 16, 2005 Say hi to the pink and purple elephants for me! I miss them... haha just kiddin... I have taken Vicoden just a few times, one of them being for my wisdon teeth removal. The vicoden subdued the pain a little but did not have any other affects I was aware of. Maybe they affect me less or differently than others and basically thought of it as a strong advil...

AggieDave 6 #4 May 16, 2005 Vicodin puts me on my ass. Besure to eat (if you're supposed to) or you might get an upset stomach. Even then I would still sometimes have an upset stomach. Basically I don't like taking them, even when I have to (like after my surgery) since it puts me in this weird haze and pretty much ruins my ability to concentrate. It does do a serious number on pain though.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #5 May 16, 2005 Expect to feel a bit loopy. It never kills the pain for me, just dulls it a bit and makes me not care quite as much. Be sure to eat something with it - I know that's hard to do with mouth pain but it's really important. And don't exceed the dosages on the bottle. I did that once and paid for it, on my knees in front of the toilet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunshine 2 #7 May 16, 2005 The first few days with Vicodin, it works well to dull pain and give me some rest. After about 3 days taking it, it doesn't really work anymore. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

lawrocket 3 #8 May 16, 2005 Vicodin scared me. When I took it after my sinus surgery, my head still hurt like hell. I just didn't care if it hurt or not. It didn't bother me. Scary stuff.. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freefalle 0 #10 May 16, 2005 see PM. In addition Vicodin has been know to cause constipation in some patients, be aware of that. The key is to stay ahead of you pain for a few days, take the pain meds before you start to hurt, but take them in your prescribed time/dosage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kristenmichie 0 #12 May 16, 2005 I took vicodin when I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and it did very little. I had dry sockets that hurt pretty intensely. If anything it lessened the pain a bit, but no other effects. I was taking about 750mg every 4 hours. If the pain is pretty bad, you should be fine. Now taking lots of vicodin without pain + drinking or whatever, you'll notice some changes... We're here for a good time, not a long time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idlewild70 0 #13 May 16, 2005 everyone is different. vicodin did nothing for me. heck, when i dislocated my shoulder, they gave me morphine, and all that did was get rid of my headache.-Fish Blue skies, Soft landings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tdog 0 #14 May 16, 2005 Well, when I had surgery - it did not kill the pain, but just knocked me out so I did not care about the pain. They stitched the wound open so the infection could work its way out as it scared over. The doctor told me to take up to X amount, but start slow... Well, the pain was so bad I tried to start slow... About an hour passed and I could not take it... Then, well, I went for the gold and maxed out... Woke up every 8 hours and "repeated" until the pain went down. Fun times....

f1freak 0 #16 May 16, 2005 Depends on the dosage..... It works great when prescribed correctly or well at least at a high dose..... I was on percoset for a few months(GOOD STUFF) and then the doc put me on vicodin. It works great but you'll build a tolerance very fast..... use it for what it's for..... feel no pain......HAVE FUN... ...JUST DONT DIE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(it's easier to exceed this limit than you think, been there) it's a lousy pain killer, but an excellent mood enhancer. so save the pills for recreational use and take tylenol for the pain. haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Prev 1 2 Next Page 1 of 2 Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
