User Reviews for hydrocodone-acetaminophen oral

I am using this to control pain related to a bone infection, it has taken away most of the pain, but it doesnt last as long as directed and it messes up my head a little.

COPD/lung repaired with talcum & saline solution. Torn muscles in lower back.

Dr trying to change from percocet to vicadin,this is not working for me. I still have pain w/percocet but am not able to do anything on vicadin. I have been on the percocet for 2 years and still hurt but can take care of myself and wife (she has MS) house is not clean as I used to keep it ,The VA states to many on Percocet,they forgot we are pain paintients not numbers!

Makes me very nausiated and dizzy. Pain is relieved but medicine makes me feel almost worse than the pain it helps.

I have shoulder pain right and left as well as spinal stenosis I have been taking 16oo mg of acetaminophin which had little effect and have about the same effect with hydroco/apap 7.5-500tab

it does not stop the pain

Works well for back pain. Tolerance is easy to build up requiring more medication or more careful management

Drug was wonderful at first. Pain free, no side effects. Soon the pain comes back, so you have to up the dose. When you are at max dose, and the pain comes back, you must face the fact you are taking pain killers for no reason other than to take pain killers. I enjoyed a good year and a half without much pain. Good drug in that way. However at the end, you are left without any pain relief, and having to go cold turkey to get off the stuff. I now deal with severe pain because this drug does not work for me. I have not found any replacement. Read More Read Less

very good for my chronic back pain

I have been allergic to codiene for many yrs. and I think this has codiene in it, I was prescribed this for pain as I had pnemonia etc. I only tried to take it twice but it made me so sick I wished I never took it, I was sick vomiting for 3 days, had severe cramping, chills and sweating, shaking and it hurt to move my head even. I guess it works for alot of people but no good for someone like me.

Made me so motion sick, I wanted to vomit. I CANNOT take this medication! Tried on 2 separate occasions.

I have migraine headaches. This has been very effective. The only drawback is I must take it with food and phenergrine to avoid extremly upset stomach.

It keeps me a wake and sleeping med don't work

This treatment has not worked for me, I have suffered with chronic back pain for 4 years.

To treat my chronic pain, it only seems to be effective with mild/moderate pain.

fair as far as helping with some pain.I am on the highest mg. taking two every 5-6 hour's. i have bad nerve pain in my lower back which doc. say's I need to have surgery soon,but have no insurance to have it done.

EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE - sometimes I think my brain "manufactures" pain so I will provide my body with the drug. This is in addition to the real pain from a severe back injury due to car accident 3 yrs ago and surgery 4 months ago. Began taking about 10 to 20mg/day which was very effective. 3 years later, instead of 6-7 hours of complete relief on a 5 or 7.5mg, I need 10-30 mg at once and it will only last about 3 hours, have taken as many as 150-200mg/day. Viscous cycle - need more pills which are less effective the longer I take them. So far, I have been unable to get off hydrocone (although still recovering from back surgery, chronic pain is greatly reduced & physical therapy was very successful) however SEVERE WITHDRAWALS including difficulty breathing (lungs feel like they fill with fluid), heart palpitations and very fast, irregular heart beat, skin "crawling", hot flashes, cold chills, loss of appetite, stomach, head, legs, feet pain; anxiety, PANIC ATTACKS, shakiness/jitteriness, irritibilty complete loss of sensible thinking which includes pain pill seeking behaviour from friends/family. Have heard withdrawal is the same as the street drug herion! Drug is Great for 1-6 month usage, beyond that addiction risk is very high and life becomes more and more miserable. I want to stop taking them but am scared of the withdrawal. I begin to experience the onset of withdrawal symptoms 6-7 hours after last dose. Need help but don't know what there is. No strenth/will-power and too much legitimate pain to go cold turkey. Ruining my life!Read More Read Less

I had bone surgery and found it worked to relieve the pain, but caused intense nausea and vomitting. I alternated between which was worse, the pain in my knee or nausea caused by this drug. I switched to contin and am much more functional.
