vicodin is commonly used in outpatient pain management.  do you really think that you were addicted?  just using it won't cause withdrawl when you stop using it.  \n\nif you really were addicted, i would imagine hightened pain sensation and agitability and sleeplessness would be symptoms.  but i didn't consult my text books for that, so if you relly want to know, just do a very simple search on the net.

I have both Vicodin and Ativan here. I only take them ocasionally because I don't want to build up a tolerance or run out of pills. Can't smoke weed anymore, so these pills are my only way to get high.\n\nI suppose it's ok if you don't take too many every day and become addicted. It's easy to become addicted to these drugs because they can give you a buzz.

yes, a lot of it has to do with the hormone levels in your body dropping. I take Aleve or Excedrin around this oh-so-exiting time.

There are doctors who specialize in managing withdrawal from medications. You may want to consult one of these as opposed to asking your pain management doctor to manage your withdrawal. After all, his or her specialty is pain management, not withdrawal. A good specialist will taper you off your medicine so as to minimize withdrawal. Don't stop taking your medicine cold turkey.  Your primary care physician should be able to recommend a withdrawal specialist.

I had my two bottom wisdom teeth pulled a while back and if your not in a lot of pain now, its only going to get better. They gave you some Vicodin right? just take that until you feel like you can be OK without them. After like three days you should be able to eat normal food again. If you have any concerns about it, all you have to do is call up your dentist and ask them about it. they will gladly help ya.

as vicodan is listed as a controlled substance, you need a prescription for it.

If you go to the pharmacy or supermarket there is a cool thing over with the oragel.  I can't remember the name of it, but it comes with a small glass jar, tweezers and little tiny cotton pieces.  This is especially helpful if you have a cavity hole and can stuff a piece in there.  This will make it go numb and give you a little rest.  I found by loading up on the ibuprophen, alternating between that stuff and oragel it bought me 2 weeks until I went to the doctors and got a prescription for vicodin to last until my next doctor's appointment (3 days later).\n\nCheck with your doctor and see if you can get a pain killer, but also make sure to get an antibiotic so the infection will start going down before you see the dentist, then if they need to do anything they won't have to worry about infection.  The infection going down will also help relieve the pain.  Good Luck

it gets less as the days go by. wait about 4 more days. don't forget that is like you had an operation. most of the times they have to make incisions to pulled them out, but unless you see redness, and get fever, there is no infection. perhaps they had to stitch you up, most of the times they do. ease up on the vicodin, perhaps ibuprofen would help you, in case there is inflammation. there are 800 mg of ibuprofen, ask the pharmacist.\n\ngood luck.

Yes, but if taken as directed it shouldn't be a problem. Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in tylenol. It's also is what the majority of vicodin is, although the active ingredient in vicodin is hydrocodone, there's a hundred times as much acetominophen in each pill as hydrocodone. The vicodin most prescribed is 500mg of acetaminophen and 5mg of hydrocodone. People who overuse vicodin often have health problems more related to acetopminophen than the opiate, because it's bad for the liver and stomach. But I'm talking people that pop 2000-5000 mg a day, regular strength tylenol is 325mg and is taken for a short period of time.

I was on 20mg anti deppressants for 9 months, which was called Paxil.  I was running out and I had moved 10 hours away from the doctor that prescribed it to me, so I decided to get off of them.  I cut them in half and I didn't feel any different and then I threw out the last few pills I had.  That's when I had withdrawals, which was horrible!!  I've never been through withdrawals with anything and it was so bad that while I was walking to work one day, I had to turn around and go back home because I just couldn't make it.  It lasted for a good week and finally I was off of the pills for good.  I can't say that I'm cured, but truly and honestly I don't want to go back on the pills.  I was told that I did the wrong thing and I should of consulted a doctor before getting off of them, which I think you should consult your doctor before you get off of the pills for good.

ugggh- i had them last year.  He can take advil- that will help, but mine were so awful that they gave me vicodin.    I also had this stuff that my mother in law gave me (she's a physical theraptist)- it's called biofreeze.  that stuff was great for the pain and the itching.

usually pain meds are given with any type of invasive, surgical procedure.\n\nthe amount and type of pain meds given depends on the type of surgery. for your surgery, most likely only about 2 weeks worth of pain meds will be given and there will be no refill allowed.\n\nmost common pain meds that are given are vicodin,percocet, and tylenol w/codeine
