 5  post op pain Sedation/euphoria/itchiness/thats about it The stuff worked too well apparently so they gave me Darvs instead. It's ok to live with pain, but GOD FORBID if you get some euphoria. The stuff actually worked though, but wore off quickly. I could see how this could be very addictive given world and time enough. M 27 5 days

 5  Neck/joint pain + Chronic head ache A little foggy at first, But zero sleep issues. Puts me in a great mood, Most likely due to the fact that I'm virtually pain free for the first time in 15 years.. I had been living in vegas for awhile, And finally decided it was time to look into some other options for pain treatment. I had done everything I could to avoid having to depend on RX drugs. Unfortunately after 15 years of trying everything else, It just wasn't enough anymore..After having a couple of visits with my families dr, We decided it would be worth a shot to start on a low dose of hydrocodone, And it was truly a life saver!..Sadly I had to move and am now stuck having to deal with dr's who are scared to RX a narcotic and I'm back having to try all the other crap that doesn't work first! I've even been given multiple urine tests all of which have been negative for every possible drug! So expect to jump through a few hoops and try a few different dr's before given an RX for this medicine..Bottom line, is it actually works!.. M 28 3 months

 5  gut pain; clear tests fatigue, sleepiness. pleasant buzz (why some people take it). double edged sword. can be extremly helpful in surviving your pain, and it can be addicting, physically and mentally. i am now weaning myself off of a 4 year run. i am suspicious that it is now causing the pain that i originally took it for. its a bitch getting off. secret to having it be an effective tool: don't take it regularly, don't dose more than 10mg at a time unless doctor advises. take on an empty stomach with milk/food a must within 15 minutes or you might get nausious. or you can just take it with milk. there are many very similar drugs under different names. they all come from the opium poppy, and are thought to have been discovered over 3,000 years ago. and with all the pharmicological development we have had, 'they' can't find anything that works better.

 5  Breakthrough Pain from AS mild dizziness if I haven't taken it in awhile. I take this as needed for breakthrough pain with my ankylosing spondilitis. I currently use fentanyl patches for round the clock pain relief. This medication works very well when my pain becomes aggrevated because I tried to do too much or I lose control of the pain due to stress. I use the 10/325 strength and take anywhere from half a tablet to two tablets as needed. I generally use between 10 and 50 tablets a month depending on the weather and my activity level. Have never noted any withdrawal symptoms from using the medication at this level. I have also noted that the Mallinckrodt generic tends not to work near as well as the other brands do though not sure why. M 38 12 years

 5  Severe degenerative disc disease Mild constipation, mild disruption in sleep if taken at bedtime, very little sedation unless already sleepy For 21 years I have dealt with pain in my lower lumbar area. A combination of genetic predisposition and heavy lifting in the gym (since I was 17 years old) resulted in episodes of moderate to severe back pain. It began with episodes every 18 months then became more frequent from 1986 to 2002, when it became more chronic and included severe sciatica in left hip and leg. Three MRIs since 2003 have revealed worsening severe degenerative disc disease in vertebrae T12 thru L5, along with lumbar stenosis, spondololysthesis, arthritis, you name it! I tried Neurontin (too sedating), Ultram (non-narcotic but ineffective), Percocet (too strong), spinal corticoid injections (ineffective), Lyrica (VERY dizzy) and plain old physical therapy - all to no avail. The hydrocodone (either lortab 10/500 or Norco 10/325)work perfectly every time, with very few side effects and no euphoria. Over all these years, I have to have built up some tolerance (I went from 5mg to 7.5mg to 10mg)but am still able to k M 48 21 years

 5  ankle & knee trauma, arthritis Mild side effects include sweating and occasional stomach upset. I dont experience the "euphoria" other people report, but this is not a party for me. I use it for pain management only, so I can continue to work and get some use out of my body despite the damage done. My one regret about this medicine is that it took so long to get my physisicans to presribe it. There is a stigma attached to these drugs that to me seems ridiculous, it is NOT okay to live with extreme pain when there are options available such as this prescription medication. People do abuse these drugs, and they are addictive when abused I am sure, but this medication has been a blessing to my life and I am able to do more now than I have for a number of years. Where nothing else has worked at all, this medicine had made it possible for me to continue being productive and reasonably content despite the damages done to my joints. It is not a cure, but I dont think many medicines are, it is a means of pushing through pain so I can go live a reasonable life and handle my daily matters. M 47 2 years

 5  Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Constipation. Drowsiness. Addiction. It takes the edge off of the pain. Nothing seems to take the pain away completely, but I'll take a reduction any time! Taking no more than 3 a day at most. Average is probably 8 in a week. M 68

 5  chronic headaches; neck pain felt the 'euphoric' effect of the drug for about the first week, and it was actually kind of nice: a lovely warm glow. wanted to hug everybody, mostly because *the pain was gone at last!* since then, no 'glow', just continued effective pain relief. this drug probably saved my life. had chronic headaches for *years*, and got no relief whatsoever while the docs danced around prescribing everything except what worked. "try this muscle relaxer!" "now try this anti-depressant!" when i finally met a doc with the guts to prescribe the feared and dreaded narcotic (gasp!) painkiller, i got my life back. yes, it can be addictive. i've gone through withdrawal twice: it was no fun, no sleep/irritable for about 3 days; but certainly nothing like the throes of heroin withdrawal like they show in the movies. comparing the pain of withdrawal to the pain of my headaches (that only this drug can fix) is like comparing an ant to an elephant. alleviation of constant pain is a gift from god; and easily worth the price you *might* pay by taking this drug. can't recommend it highly enough.

 4  Acute Shoulder pain Facial acne. Middle of the night erections. Use sparingly if you must. If you have an addictive personality, I would suggest talking to your doctor BEFORE using it. Breaking pills in half makes the pills last longer. And, if you don't need full strength to control the pain, why subject your body to a full dose? M 53 8 days

 4  Pain after heart bypass surgery mild constipation Not an easy withdrawl. Possibly, it was because my pain was not entirely gone when I ended the withdrawl. M 68 60 days

 4  Herniated vertebral discs Euphoria, sense of wellness, and pain-relief. Followed by very quick tolerance buildup--an increasing need for more of the drug to achieve the same effect. Hydrocodone is okay, but very addictive and dangerous when you stop taking it. The withdrawal symptoms are every bit as bad as the pain you are seeking relief from. Avoid this drug and other opiates whenever possible and take as little of them as possible. M 24 2 years

 4  Torn rotaters cup Very itchy all over. Dizziness. stomach aches sometimes. vomiting. When starting to fall asleep at night, just when i began to go into a dream I would hear a really loud popping noise and would make me jump right out of bed. every night this would happen, I know you may look at it is as if it were maybe because of how many i was taking at a time, but i really couldnt help it everyday i would take more and more because i kept gaining a high tollerance to them after a couple of months i started to realize that this was probably do significant damage to my body and havent took them sence. I got so bad into taking them i was taking over 17 aday at one time, i was surprised i never came close to an overdose. M 18 2 months
