Chosen Answer:

Vicodin helps, but sometimes is not enough to handle pain (yes you can take it with antibiotics.
For the best pain control (as long as you aren’t allergic) you should take 4 tablets of advil (like prescription strength motrin) taken every 6 to 8 hours AND take 1 vicodin PLUS one regular tylenol (Vicodin has the equivalent of one tylenol in it. Who takes 1 tylenol for anything??) Seems like alot, but you’ll be hammering at the pain in 3 different ways. You may only need to do this for 3 doses or so. Then you’ll graduate off of the vico, then off the tylenol, and finally, you’ll be able to space out the advil and/or cut it down to 400 mg.
When I have my patients do this, they come back so happy that the whole thing was so painless (I get them started on the advil while numb)
Good luck!

How long does it usually take for a person to get addicted to vicodin?

I have been taking vicodin for two weeks now and I think I may be addicted to it. What can I do to help myself and how can my doctor help me? serious answers only please. Thank You!

Chosen Answer:

I’m a nurse. I would talk to the doctor about it. Your’e not far along as many people. You can simply chose not to take them. Most people take them for a very long time and later realize they have a problem. I think you are fine. It took you only two weeks and you realized, hey this could be a problem. My advice is to discontinue the use of it . You will later noticed that you caught the problem right before the addiction happened. Your’e fine, after all this isn’t what you wnat to do and your’e not in denial, that’s great. Be strong during this time, you can do it, I know you can.

What pain relief did you have in childbirth?

I am only about 5-8 weeks along and already thinking about this. What pain relief did you have and did it help? also what are you views on having an epidural for a calm birth? Thanks for all answers x

Chosen Answer:

i had an epidural both times. the first was very unpleasant- couldnt feel my legs at all, made me very jittery and shaky, and by the time i was almost ready to push, it had mostly worn off. still had a LOT of pain at that point, but baby came out fine. afterwards though, when i finally stood again, i was super dizzy and nauseous.
the second time, complete 180. epidural was perfect, numb enough to dull the pain, but i was still able to move my legs on my own, could feel thing, etc. had NO pain, no dizziness, no nausea. was even able to laugh and joke between pushes. very relaxing calm enjoyable birth. plus the second baby was 9 lbs! it was excellent!

What medications can I take to ease the symptoms of vicodin withdrawal?

I am addicted to vicodin and am trying to get off of it. I haven’t had any pills for two days, but the withdrawals are very hard on me. Is there anything that I can take that will relieve them? Serious answers only please. Thank you:)

Chosen Answer:

clonidine
antidepressants
benzodiazepines (xanax, valium, etc)
cannabis

that is a bad addiction.. i have been there.. its bad mainly because those pills have a TON of tylenol in them and if your addicted you are consuming wayy to much tylenol and that is very very bad for you. never consume more than 4 grams tylenol(acetametephen) per day or you are risking liver damage.

if you went to a doctor he would give you clonidine probably…
i would use that and throw on a nicotine patch for good measure.

you should be able to get thru it… those pills dont have that much drug in them.
