Side Effects Of Vicodin

Hello, I've been prescribed 5/325 due to chronic Back pain from degenerative disc disease (DDD). The meds make me feel really focused and alert, not drowsy. Now before I see a bunch of threads to tell me to stay clear of these drugs, I am not here to discuss addiction. I seeking out answers to two questions: why/how does it make me feel more focused and what alternatives are out there which don't give me this "high alert" feeling? Preferably something that isnt a CII drug. What is in hydrocodone that would make someone feel the opposite of drowsy? Its hopeless if I'm in pain after a long day because if I take a pill then I would be up all night and destroyed the next day. Which will eventually cause a chain reaction making me want to take it just to keep me awake. I...

Would it cause you to get a rash on your back? ## Hello, Sam! How are you? The FDA classifies Vicodin as a narcotic analgesic, so it can cause a rash as an allergic reaction. Is the rash also itchy? Other side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. It also carries the risk of being habit forming.

Is it lethal or just a good buzz? I'm trying it out with new prescription and don't want to over do it due to pain in neck and back. ## Based on my research, using Valium (diazepam) along with Hydrocodone may increase certain side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people have also reported various degrees of impairment in thinking and judgement. So if you do choose to have them together, I'd probably recommend avoiding alcohol, grapefruit, or any other dietary contraindications that can increase the effects of either medication. You can learn more about each drug on the page for Valium Details and Vicodin Details I hope this info helps! ## If a dosage of 7.5 Hydro codone and valium and dalmae. can you overdose?

Does this pill make you drowsy? I took 2 of them, just now and I want that drowsy feeling. ## The tablet with the M 360 marking contains 750mgs of Acetaminophen and 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone, the active ingredients in Vicodin, this is a narcotic analgesic. And yes, it can cause drowsiness as a side effect, but taking it just to feel that, especially doubling up on them is not a safe idea. This is often how drug abuse starts. If you are having trouble sleeping, you should speak to your doctor about proper solutions for that. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have a persistent and nagging cough that has lasted over a month. My family Dr. presribed Rezira for me 2 days ago. I was coughing my brains out and desperately downed the small sample bottle he gave me before I had even made it to the ground floor on the elevator in his building. As I drove home, the cough subsided without a doubt, but I would say within 15-30 minutes of drinking the little bottle (it was one dose per bottle) I felt a really euphoric high. Each time I've taken it since, I've noticed the same "feel good" that it creates. I believe the active ingredient is Codeine, which I've had in a pain reliever like vicodin before and never noticed this effect. Is there a reason that in the cough syrup formula it would cause this feeling, vs. when it's in th...

DOES TALWIN GIVE YOU BAD DREAMS ## According to various medical references, hallucinations and unusual thoughts are listed as side effects of Talwin Nx (Pentazocine and Naloxone); and although there is nothing listed in the way of nightmares, I would think that the bad dreams may still be related to how this drug is effecting your body. Whenever I took Vicodin in the past, it's always given me bad dreams that were very realistic to say the least. So I know first hand that many drugs could potentially cause this as a side effect. Is it bad enough to make you want to switch medications?

I have fibromyalgia...4 yrs. now...After 2 days of dexilant DR. 60 mg. I had pain all over my body... Took 1/2 vicodin and it abated..Question...is it the dexilant?...or more of the fibromyalgia? ## Have you consulted your doctor? Dexilant contains the active ingredient Dexlansoprazole, it is a proton pump inhibitor used to help reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach. And no, it shouldn't cause that type of pain, but there's really no way to know how any medication is going to affect anyone that takes it, therefore you should consult your doctor to get to the root of the problem.

You are in danger of getting a good night's sleep. It would take a lot more than what you've taken to overdose...you would probably throw them all up if you took too many anyway. ## The tablets marked M357 contain 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen, it is a narcotic pain reliever. Now, as the other poster has stated, no, with 3 tablets close together, you are not in the overdose danger area, yet. However, you may experience more of the side effects, which can happen any time you increase the dosage of a medication. Which would explain the dizziness that you ...
