This combination medication is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains an opioid (narcotic) pain reliever (hydrocodone) and a non-opioid pain reliever (acetaminophen). Hydrocodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever.

Can you take one methadone pill and one vicodin together?

If you want to, yes. But the methadone is a much more potent opiate than Vicodin. If you are taking an adequate dose of methadone, then it is likely that all your opiate receptors in your brain are full. That is, in fact, the point of taking methadone. If they are, then you probably won't "feel" anything from the Vicodin. If you are not taking an adequate dose of methadone, then the Vicodin will help with pain/opiate withdrawls/whatever you are taking it for. It is important to add that if you take the Vicodin with methadone, or any long acting/extended release opiate, that you are still increasing your chances of respiratory depression(the #1 risk of taking too many pain-killers or benzodiazopenes) EVEN IF you do not "feel" the effects from the Vicodin.

Can you take Vicodin for leg pain?

It depends on what you mean by work. Vicodin is prescribed for severe pain, most often after surgeries or for people with chronic pain. So if you're asking if Vicodin will mask your back pain, then yes, it most likely will. Now as for solving your back problem, a pain pill will not do anything. Vicodin is only for pain relief.


Is it OK to take 3 vicodin a day?

Vicodin, should be taken as directed by prescriber . taking more that directed can lead to addiction of Vidcodin or other pain killers. The withdrawal from them is something else.... I would never want you to experience.

You should not take Vicodin while you are pregnant since it is a narcotic pain reliever. Taking this drug throughout pregnancy can cause birth defects and other problems.


Can you use methadone to treat Vicodin withdrawals?

Yes, you can. But it is absolutley pointless because methadone is an opiod blocker. It clogs your opiod receptors and blacks other opiates from having any effects. I would not recommend taking any other opiates with methadone, but there isn't really any problem with them mixing as long as you are taking them both as prescribed.Methadone is an OPIATE BLOCKER, therefore if you do take them together you will be defeating the purpose of the VICODIN because as I'm sure you know VICODIN is an OPIATE and you will have no effects from the VICODIN. Therefore, what I'm trying to say is you are actually wasting the VICODIN and adding more DISTRESS to your LIVER AND KIDNEYS. So take one or the other, not both.You can mix vicodin and methadone, but if you are lookin to get a high off of the vicodin you won't....methadone blocks out the receptors that make you have that "high" feeling when you take pain killers. most people end up ODing when trying to take pain killers with methadone because they wonder why they aren't getting high and keep taking more and more pain killers not realizing that they wont get that high feeling.


Can you take Vicodin and work out?

Vicodin is known to cause seizures, drowsiness, and nausea. Cardio workout must not be performed under any kind of pain medicine especially narcotic. Heavy weights should also be avoided for it can cause muscle seizures under vicodin. My friend was a vicodin addict and he has lost conciseness during heavy weight lifting. After the incident he stopped taking vicodin.


Can you take a Vicodin while on Suboxone for a major migraine?

As long as you're not taking massive amounts of the Suboxone (like, more than two 8-mg pills) yes, the Vicodin will still work as a pain killer, even though you won't get high from it. You will probably have to take a double dose of it, though, or even a triple dose, depending on how much Suboxone you are taking. I am on Suboxone and last autumn I had a root canal, and the oral surgeon prescribed Vicodin for me, but I had to take double doses of it to get enough relief from the pain. I also had to cut my Suboxone dose in half (I was taking 8-mgs per day and cut it down to 4). Whatever you do, don't stop taking the Suboxone completely, because if you completely stop taking it you will have to wait until you're in extreme withdrawal from the Vicodin before you start taking Suboxone again. If you stop taking the Suboxone, and then start taking it again before you're in heavy withdrawal from the Vicodin, you will experience the worst, most horrible withdrawal symptoms you can imagine. You will get really, really sick.
