What does hydrocodone feel like?

You'll feel very euphoric. What mg did they give you?

Like any other synthetic opiate... It does not ease pain but make you not give a shit you are in pain...

Like Demerol but milder.

5 mg mixed with 325 acetaminophen

Don't take that shit! It will destroy you. Pharms are evil.

Its vicotin isn't it?

I had my wisdom teeth out last week and this is what was prescribed. It gave me three days of the worst headaches of my life. I called the oral surgeon thinking something was wrong and was told headaches are normal. I could not move without a throbbing ice pick headache in my eye. When I stopped taking the hydrocodone my headache went away.

You were having a reaction to the medication, they should have prescribed something else.

Everyone reacts differently. For me there is a more uplift and great energy. As far as the pain goes...eh, so so

acetaminophen is death.

Nausea, stuffy head and constipation.
Has your doctor discussed non narcotic alternatives?

theres plenty of natural pain meds that are stronger...turmeric is by far the best one u can use!!!

but also:

ginger
valerian root
fish oil
vitamin d

Your face might itch.

Not to mention constipation and possible addiction.

good info, my wife is in chronic pain and the pharms do little to help. I am going to research these. I take fish oil and vit d, but will def look into turmeric! Good stuff to have on hand if shtf

Au natural!

How long are you going to be taking it? Please spend some significant time researching hydrocodone addiction... It's a very real concern/risk and the Doctor likely won't say much if anything at all to you about the subject matter....

For me they do F.A but i do suffer from cluster headaches and find im better without meds. Tramadol is the shit you want though if you wanna get cabbaged. Or you could just do a hard days work and get that feeling naturally..

Well I was involved n two very bad accidents, one in may 1985 and one in april 1986 and was pronounced D.O.A in the first one and was for over 10 mins..
I was bustedup from head to toe and it happened all over again 11 months later in april 1986..
.
I was put on demoral, then tylenol 3,s then 4,s then was put on loratab,vicoden, aka hydrocodone or Dr.House pills hehe..
.
Then was put on percocets 5,s then 10,s fpr several years, then liver count was going bad so they put me on oxycodone which is the active pain killer in percocet but no tylenol, started me on 10mg the 20, then 40 then 80mg 1-2 x a day or as need for pain
you are NOT opiate tolerant it sounds so the 5mg vicoden will do you very well and you will become happy and feel great with it BUT I will tell you, it is an opiate and ujst after about two weeks your body will def become addicted to it, NO WAY AROUND THAT!!!!
!
Thats why more than 75% of those in recovery/rehab clinics are there is cause they were legally rx,d these type meds to help with pain after surgery,accidents etc and they became heavily addicted..
And yes opiates will constipate you for sure and little do most people know, the anti diarhea med thats otc called loperamide hydrochloride is a very powerfull NON BRAIN CROSSING OPIATE!!

Anyway, if you need to know anything at else about anyt type of pain med, feel free to ask as Ive been/done all of them for going on 30 years now..
.
And again that med will do u fine and dont be afraid of it whatsoever as it is a very mild pain med but will work fine for u!!

Coming off it was very annoying. It wasn't the diarrhea, so much as the nightmares about squirrels.

Pot does not affect my sleep, hydrocodone does.

Dilaudid gives a better quality nightmare, at least.

and sorry for my misspelled words as I just bought this new samsung 55inch hd bigscreen that has built in wifi/web browsing etc etc , way to much to post but no need to anyway as thats not the subject here, but im using a wirless keyboard hooked to the tv and some of the letters dont seem to go thru as they should

That crap doesn't work and only makes you constipated.

But I can attest that shingles hurt like hell. Worse than having your chest cracked open.

Take three you'll feel like a champ.

Had it when I broke my leg.

Thought I would never go #2 again.

Constipation PLUS. Be prepared.

You should take something for nerve pain as that is where shingles usually attack.

DO NOT TAKE ANY prescribed DRUGS. Mother nature has provided everything a human needs to repair itself and fight off viruses, illness, etc...

Arnica Montana is an herb that is very helpful with nerve pain.
You can get it at any health food store or order it online.
It comes in small tabs that melt under your tongue.
They don't last long however...pain relief in about 10-15 minutes. And last 30-45 minutes (for me anyway).

I have been fighting this very painful virus for 13 years and recently started using Lipo-C (many vids on youtube on how to make your own). This has helped A LOT!!! However you need to research Lipo-C because it can cause your alkaloid levels to change. And use only organic NON-GMO .

Witch hazel is very soothing and helps heal the infected area.
Target, grocery stores and drug stores carry it. It is in the first aid area.

Hydrocodone will dry your hair and skin out.
Dehydrates you.
Causes constipation.
Lack of appetite.
Very addictive.
Causes depression.

I have worked in and study natural medicine for over 30 years.

This has to be the 4th thread in the last few days here referring to shingles.

Heat is something you also want to avoid. It will cause a breakout.

I hope this is helpful and you recover quickly!!

Peace

I am a recovering addict of 16 years and have multiple reconstructive surgeries on my knee after a horrendous sports injury...turmeric actually works better than any pain med ive had other than morphine or tramadol or the heavy hitters...but it is way more effective than percs or vics...a teaspoon in a cup of tea or some on your food...the taste isnt my favorite but the pain relief is...glad to help out and good luck!

the Tylenol is deadly! If your pain is so bad that you need medication ask your doctor for:

Vicoprofen

It is a slightly stronger dose of pain meds mixed with ibuprofen instead of Tylenol. I would recommend only use any if absolutely necessary, they are very toxic on the body and highly addictive also tolerance builds very quickly...bad combo!

Try prayer/meditation, staying busy and taking vitamins/natural pain relievers...I have heard rubbing aloe on the site and compressing with warm washcloth can help but never experienced it so I don't know first hand...good luck!

How does it feel? Itchy, but its an itch that feels so good to scratch...

If you are finding yourself needing to take the Vicodin on a long term and consistent basis definitely do what others are recommending and have the doctor give you something with less Tylenol. Or non at all.

Ask you doctor about a new medication is out that has a high level of hydrocodone and absolutely no Tylenol. Its fairly strong though...perhaps you could get away with breaking the tablets into twos or fours. Its called Zohydro. You only want it if it saves you money by breaking up the tablets. The concentrated dose of hydrocodone is dangerously addictive so don't even touch it if you have an addictive nature or addiction runs in your family.

Another natural option that I have found to work well is something called mitragyna speciosa or kratom. It effects a different set of opiod receptors and finding the strain that works best for you will ease your pain and keep you from becoming a slave to the pharmaceutical companies. No prescription required and its highly effective. Insurance won't cover it though.

PM me if you are interested and I can direct you to some vendors and help you find the strain/product of kratom that will be best for you.
