Vicodin 1

My husband had an out-patient procedure done a few weeks ago and was prescribed vicodin to help manage the following pain. He had a very strong reaction to it immediately, with almost seizure like shaking, nausea and vomiting. We later found his sister had the same symptoms and so did an office co-worker. So, these reactions to vicodin (including the usual constipation and potential addiction) may be pretty common and not worth the risk. It would be better to ask the doctor for an alternate medication for pain.
