"diagnosed with carpel tunnel syndrome, my physician prescribed two vicodin a day for pain relief.  for the first couple of days i was drowsy after the noon tablet but now my body seems to have acclimated itself to the drug and i&#039;m no longer drowsy, and i&#039;m reasonably pain free.  it isn&#039;t perfect, but i gave it an eight out of a possible ten!  i don&#039;t expect to be on it long enough to worry about addiction."
