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!

my father is taking warfarin and wonders what pain relief he can take for headache?

he said that most standard pain relief says not to take if currently on warfarin. 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.

Is taking vicodin before a test unethical?

My boyfriend is planning to take vicodin to help him focus on an important entrance exam for grad school.

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.

How long will vicodin show up on a pre-employment drug screen?

I’m not an abuser, I swear. 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 to take vicodin after taking adderall?

I took 40mg of adderall 3 hours ago and want to take 300mg of Vicodin. 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!

Is any type of pain relief during labour good or are there too many side affects?

Has anyone had pain relief ie. epidural or pethadine during labour and was it good?

Chosen Answer:

I had an epidural with both of the deliveries of my sons. A lot of people are scared of them because they hear all these “horror stories” about them, which aren’t true… Most of the “horror stories” you hear are about Spinals… Which were an older form of pain relief… The epidural will basically make you do dumb from the waste down… You still feel the pressure and some pain but it definitely takes some of the pain away! There was no question whether or not I was going to have them, I wanted to be able to enjoy the births of my sons as much as I possibly could with out being in horrible pain… Good Luck!
