There is no 15mg of Vicodin, the maximum dosage currently available in the tablets is 10/325mg.

Thus, depending on what you were taking, the dosage may no be equivalent. Can you please double check what you were taking and post back?

The FDA classifies this medication as a This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

The ER stands for extended release, it designates it as being time released.
