Vicodin® is the brand name for the combination of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and hydrocodone. Vicodin® is prescribed for moderate to moderately severe pain. Hydrocodone binds to the pain receptors in the brain so that the sensation of pain is reduced. Acetaminophen halts the production of prostaglandins which otherwise cause pain. Vicodin® is available in tablet, capsule, and liquid form and is taken every 4-6 hours by mouth. Since hydrocodone can be habit forming, care must be taken to follow the doctor's instructions when taking Vicodin®. Do not take a larger dose, or take it more frequently, or take it for longer than the doctor has prescribed.

You are probably wondering why in the world I am interested in Vicodin. Well, after my wisdom teeth were extracted, the dentist gave me Vicodin for pain killers. Well, the pills worked great. 1 hour after I took the drugs, I was really energetic and happi! Then it's Vicodin-low when I get really tired and sleepy. I guess that's why people get addicted to this drug, it gives you a fun feeling...like cotton candy but even better!
