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

[MetaThought]

Are you guys sure it was the hydrocodone and not the acetaminophen that caused the problems?

I don’t know how people even take Hydrocodone.

I'm with you. Tried after rotator cuff surgery earlier this year and it made me dog sick. Worse than any pain.

[WOBBLY BOB]

Dilaudid makes me nutty(er).

[Ditter]

I hope I never need any pain killers. Even a tiny bit of codeine in cough medicine sent me into what the doctor called a small seizure. I started shaking uncontrollably and then I threw up. This new stuff would kill me.

I broke a couple ribs a week and a half ago. Doc prescribed Hydrocodone cough med for both pain and coughing. Thought I was gonna croak! Turns out that not only do I get the rare side effects of excitability, pulse rate and BP elevation, I got severe itching, a sign of allergic reaction. Was abdo-lutely miserable, and freaked out, after taking only one teaspoonful!

I took it last winter because of an extremely painful case of shingles, my first. I’m glad I had it, but it made me extremely nauseated.

[RegulatorCountry]

It did wonders for me, no stomach problems that I recall, both during a bout with shingles and when I broke my arm. I can see why people might get addicted, it was very pleasant, just felt good again instead of buzzed or out of it. Taking two led to a little giddiness, though, only did that twice when the pain was at its worst.

That is my response to nsaids. I do pretty good on hydrocodone. I don’t take it often, chronic back pain. One will usually leave me hungover enough to take a day to get over it. The stronger doses would put me out for quite awhile, I assume.

[razorback-bert]

Ditto, once was enought.

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

It really is surprising just how differently certain drugs effect different people. I have no problems with hydrocodone, while a buddy of mind gets nauseus and throws up if he takes it. Another friend gets terribly constipated when taking it. I don't have any problems taking it, though I'm very conservative as to when I take it. I have really bad arthritis, and I take it when I try to exercise, or if the pain is really bad, I'll take one before bedtime. It makes the difference between just fitfully napping and waking up every time I move, vs getting a solid 5 to 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
