"i have had numerous teeth pulled recently, getting ready for dentures and first i was prescribed demerol which made me feel ill and personally i still felt pain. then it was percocet which worked great for pain but made me itch. finally vicodin 5 mg which i had to take 1 and a half to knock out all the pain. my dentist tried vicoprophen 7.5 which worked absolutely perfectly but was a bit expensive compared to regular vicodin. well he prescribed vicodin 7.5/500 and 1 tablet works wonders. i was told that i could take 2 at a time if needed but so far 1 seems to work for about 5 hours. i was told that i could build up a quick tolerance to the drug so i take 800 mg ibuprofen unless i really need the vicodin."
