How long does the drug stay in your system? http://winstonparknews.com/2012/02/i-am-taking-vicodin-for-recent-surgery-how-long-does-the-drug-stay-in-your-system/ http://winstonparknews.com/2012/02/i-am-taking-vicodin-for-recent-surgery-how-long-does-the-drug-stay-in-your-system/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 19:19:38 +0000 Admin http://winstonparknews.com/2012/02/i-am-taking-vicodin-for-recent-surgery-how-long-does-the-drug-stay-in-your-system/ I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth pulled yesterday. The doc gave me vicodin for the pain. I am taking 3 pills a day. I’m curious how long it stays in your system because I want to get pregant, but want to make sure the drug is out of my system before trying.

Chosen Answer:

Vicodin is actually safe to take during pregnancy and my friend was prescribed it at 8 months after she had to get her appendix removed. You shouldn’t worry about any adverse effects from this particular drug.

However, if you are looking to have a completely natural pregnancy, that’s great, and in that case, hydrocodone stays in your system for only 3 to 5 days.

Good luck!

I really wanted to try gas and air and had planned to, and the midwife had some with her that I could have used if I had remembered it existed!

I was very quiet and very calm and totally in my own head, and totally just forgot that there was such a thing as pain relief.

Has anyone else done this? I know it sounds weird!

i have seen many births and that is one thing NOBODY forgets even if they dont want it they know they can change their mind

Any ideas?

Chosen Answer:

Fioricet helps for migraines. I take two tablets everyday. It’s best to get them filled generic at Walmart. They give you thick dull blue colored pills. Walgreen’s give you different fioricet that doesn’t work as well.

I’ve told him I don’t think it’s right and unfair, but he’s convinced it’s as innocent as drinking coffee.

Thoughts?

Chosen Answer:

Is he addicted to vicodin? If not, that is a really,really stupid thing to do. It is a depressant. You may feel good, but you brain does not work as well. Certainly not ” innocent” , and a dangerous practice to start.

He is in a lot of agony so i wondered if anyone has experienced this and/or has any advice on pain relief and if you know what sort of time it could take to subside. I will pass on any answers
Thank you !

Chosen Answer:

Tramadol is a horrid drug and can cause side affects that are very unpleasant.
Often they will prescribe a mix of drugs for nerve pain which work much better but this involves prescription strengh Co codamol and others that take time to work. Which is why they Doctors go for a hard hitting one to start with.
Might actually get some relief from a painkiller that is an anti inflammatory as well. A pharmacist will be able to help you and advice you on the drugs sold from behind the counter.

In theory as it is a trapped nerve it should be a short term problem and is best relieved by being proactive and paying to see a physiotherapist or chiropracter as quickly as possible.

I had a tooth pulled, and my dentist didn’t give me anything for pain. My mother had a few Vicodin left over from a past surgery, so I took 2 over the course of 3 days. Will this show on a drug screen? Can I list it as a drug I’ve taken?

Chosen Answer:

Don’t bother listing it. It will be gone in a few days.

In the future, this is one of the many reasons you don’t take someone else’s medicine. Just call the dentist and ask for something for pain! Most of the time they will prescribe you a pain medicine if you ask.

How long should I wait?

Chosen Answer:

If the adderall is long-acting you can take it now. if it is short acting it is good to wait a few hours after to take a pain meciation. One drug increases your heart rate and the other can decrease your heart rate.If you have never taken vicodin before it is good to wait till other medication is out of your system,in case of an allergic reaction.
Did the doctor know you were on the adderall when he ordered the pain medicine? Also you can contact your local pharmacist and ask him. I have taken meds for ADHD and pain at the same time and it was fine . As long as you have no reactions to either one (allergic reactions)it is o.k.
Hope you feel better!
