I have been on Vicoprofen for a few years now for Migraines, Kidney Stones. I feel it works alot better then Extra Strength Vicodin. I take the 7.5 200 strength. It doesnt upset my stomach like the tylenol did with the Vicodin. If you do get a upset stomach I recommend eat before you take the med. But sometimes doing so lessens the effect of the Vicoprofen. so taking a anti-nausea med will prevent...
this med does make you feel weird , not doappy or tied but just wierd, I can not describe the feeling, over all differnet you could function on this mediction.

I only take this medication when I'm having severe pain in my arm from surgery on a rotator cuff muscle tear . I have to take it after eating , because it makes me nauseus and lite headed. But, it does ease the pains and makes me feel better in the process.

I am taking this medication for severe oral pain, I see my dentist tomorrow. I have had all my teeth crowned for cosmetic effect about a year ago and this is the first pain I have experienced and its very intense. My whole lower jaw is swollen. I'm also on an antibiotic. After reading the reviews I wonder if this is nerve pain and a couple of root canals are going to follow. Its 2AM and I cannot sleep. It seems to take the edge off but that's about it. The good thing is I'm not nauseated, and normally pain medications make me very sick.Read More Read Less

This medication allows me to live an active life. I have arthritus and fibromayalgia and constant muscle spasms. I would recommend this to anyone that does not want to do high dose meds.

I take hydrocodone because of back pain from a car accident. Without this medicine I can not sit or stand for very long. While taking the medication I can do anything.
