Vicodin would give me weird dreams,too.

I’d wake up going “what the hell?”

Dilaudid is the best thing ever. I went in with a three day migraine, had taken the stuff that they had give me for home use plus a prescription they had called in to the pharmacy. Kim gave me one injection and fifteen minutes later I told her I loved her.

Oh the sweet blessed relief!

Dilaudid TOTALLY WHACKED OUT my Mom, and gave her an entire body rash that itched INTENSELY! Only large doses of benedryl alleviated the itch somewhat. Took about a week to clear up!

I have used Hydrocodone for twelve years now, 10mg. Thankfully I have no problems with the drug. I have always taken as prescribed by my DR. I take no more no less than prescribed (back surgery). I have never had a high nor have I had a low. The drug controls my pain which allows me to have limited mobility that I would other wise not have. I do know people who were prescribed this drug, and they allowed it to control their lives, apparently they received the fore-mentioned high.

You might want to see this then. Legislation would mandate check before writing prescriptions {Attention Tennessee Freepers}. I also take a needed medication on the hit list in the article I just linked. Over 17 years to be exact. Life is fixing to get harder for those of us with chronic incurable disorders. I strongly urge you and family members to write the senator. Knoxnews.com has been in a Pro-Nanny State mode as of late. Looks like one of our GOP state senators is jumping on board as well.

A friend with weed is a friend indeed?

I don’t know how people even take Hydrocodone. It tears up my stomach even taken with food.

Mine also. Started out really great after my inguinal hernia operation but quickly went downhill.

Well if they do add stuff to make one sick, it sure works. But I wonder why they gave me so much of it >O

Oh. I think my wife would, too. But WHY RISK IT?

Not much difference here between hydrocodone and Oxycodone. Hydrocodone, mg per mg is about 90% analgesic potency of Oxycodone. The difference is the lack of Tylenol which is useless for moderate to severe pain. The problem with the current hydrocodone/Tylenol combo is that the addition of Tylenol makes it more toxic to those who abuse hydrocodone and patients that take more drug than specified by the prescription. Tylenol is liver toxic for normals after 4g, but less in patients with alcoholism and liver problems. The key to safe opioid prescribing in patients with chronic pain is patient selection/ risk assessment, urine drug testing, clear expectations of the use and effect of the drug, and the use
of other non- narcotic treatments.
Overall, a good decision.

After having such a severe reaction to such a small amount of codeine I am concerned that all the other powerful pain relievers will be the same. I hope not because I might need one some day.

If you're in some kind of severe pain, you're just going to have to deal with it.

Some moron will abuse this substance, so it needs to be banned.

Now step over here so the TSA can thoroughly search you.

Thank you,

Couldn’t help but notice your name-—whatever happened to him? Haven’t seen him in many years.

He was on ‘24’ a few years ago but he hasn’t been in many movies as of late.

A waste of talent.

I think we have turned our country into one big lawsuit. I have arthritis in both knees and bless with it in my elbow also. Viox was the only thing I could take that helped. Now it is banned and I have to take Hydrocodone. It relieves the pain and I can take low doses, but when you take pain medicine you have o go to the doctor every three to 4 months and why am I telling you this...lol

I could care less if someone wants to drug themselves up the wazzu...

.but they drive the roads I drive and the roads my kids drive.

..they overwhelm ER's and take up valuable time when I might have a life threatening condition..

.they make my insurance premiums sky high so they they can flit around like flys and pay nothing but boy do they demand to be first in line when they've killed their livers or their kidneys or have MRSA wounds requiring expensive hospital time and materials....

these drug companies are not interested in the cancer patient....they are interested in how many more people they can get to suck on their perverted immoral tits....
