"vicodin is an excellent pain killer for oral or any kind of surgery to bring home. it doesn&#039;t make me sick to my stomach the way some other pain pills do. i have fibromyalgia and cfs and took it for that type of pain but it was too short acting and i needed to keep increasing the dose. it also has a lot of tylenol in it for long term use which can damage the liver so i&#039;m on something else now for my fibromyalgia pain. it does the job very well for short term pain relief."
