Vicodin - good and bad
I had two teeth pulled a couple of days ago -- two molars that had gone bad -- and the oral surgeon prescribed me Vicodin for the pain.
Vicodin is a great narcotic, and I can understand why people get hooked on it. It doesn't kill the pain for me, at all -- I'm just as aware of pain in my jaw as without it. But it makes me not give a shit at all about the pain whatsoever.
That part is great. What isn't so great is the dizziness that accompanies it and the inability to stay awake. I've been a waste product for the past couple of days, so I'm backing off it and sticking with Advil today.
