I wish I could help you... but Vicodin will do what you want it too... shit is crazy.
 
She just wants your pills for herself, that's why you don't remember taking it before.
 
If you are allergic to codine, do NOT take Vicoden. Hydrocodone is a derivative of Codine. The acetaminophen will also tear your stomach up bad with prolonged use.

This guy obviously does not know what he's talking about.

Odon, do it. The names are completely different, they don't even rhyme. You're safe.

I know its a derivative of Codine which is why I'm trying to find out if it's alright to take.
 
I don't trust wikipedia. I already looked there, if the fucking pharamacy would pick up there phone my life would be so much easier.
 
I am near 100% sure that it isn't safe to take. My brother is alergic to codine too, and when he got his wisdom teeth removed i remember he couldn't take it so he wouldn't stop complaining.

I don't know why you need to take it, like for how bad of a pain, but you might be stuck with taking a really weak pain killer since codine is a major ingredient in most of the heavy duty stuff.
 
an allergy to codeine does not mean you are also allergic to hydrocodone. while it is still possible for you to be allergic to both; it is not all that common.
understandably though; dont trust info on message boards. if you're pharmacy will not pick up the phone; get the phone book out; call another pharmacy. ^^
 
Thats probably the best advice you can take. I was just going off personal experience with my brother who was allergic to both.

:2cents: First some debunking:

Hydrocodone is not a derivitive of codine, it is a synthetic codine. It is a narcotic opioid analgesic.

Acetomenophen aka Tylenol does not cause stomach problems, in fact it is the safest analgesic for the stomach. The risk of taking too much acetomenophen is that it can put you in line for a liver transplant, particularly if you take an overdose while drinking alcohol.

I need to know what happened when you took the codine. Vomiting? Rash? Stupor? There is hypersensitivty and there is allergy and they are two different things. If it is a hypersensitivity it could be that you are hypersensitive to all opioids, if it is an allergy, it could be that you are allergic to hydrocodne or not.

I'm allergic to clams, but not all shellfish.

I also think you are fibbing, because a doctor wouldn't prescribe hydrocodone if he thought there was the slightest chance of an adverse reaction. So someone loaned you some pills and you are trying to figure out if they are safe or not.

Best bet has already been suggested, no one knows more about drugs than pharmacists. Call a pharmacist, tell him your exact reaction to codine and ask him/her if he/she thinks that hydrocodone is safe for you.
