"hello all, i had the worst experience of my life with medication with this prescription (hydrocodone-acetaphetomen 5-325). now i took vicodin years ago after i got in a bad car wreck, and it worked great. this is not the same. i took this for getting a tooth pulled. i took one on the first night, no real relief. the next morning the gum is still bugging me, pharmacist recommends i take 2. within one hour i&#039;m spaced out sick, dizzy, and short of breath. i literally felt like i was going to die. i call the pharmacist back who assures me it will pass, i don&#039;t need to go to an er. so i wait it out,took 10 hours to pass. scariest part being the shortness of breath.do not take this, i can&#039;t warn you enough. it is not the vicodin of the past"
