I broke a few ribs, but I still needed to go to work. I was worried that
Vicodin medication would make me drowsy at work, I took only a half of a tablet so I could do my job (part of my work is moving heavy objects). It worked just great, I wasn’t drowsy, and I was not in pain. By the end of the second week ibuprofen worked just fine.
I had mild constipation while taking Vicodin prescription. I also noticed that by the second week I needed to take a whole tablet to get the same result.
