Vicodin and Alcohol use and Liver damage
by Tammy Turner, Dec 02, 1999 12:00AM
I have been using vicodin daily for 5 years. I started out taking 1 tablet daily now I am up to 4 a day. I am also a drinker. I do not drink everyday, but when I drink I drink a lot. Lately I have not been feeling well, my lower back hurts, my stomach feels swolen, I vomit a lot, I get headaches, and have pain on the right side of my stomach. I am concerned that I may have damaged my liver. I want to stop taking the pills but I am afraid to talk to my doctor, because then I will be cut off for could. If I do talk to him what is the best way to get off the pills and If I have done damage to my liver, can the affects be reversed after I stop using?

Well, my freind, I too have the similar problem, however, I do not drink only take lots of vicodin for three years now. I think it may be too late. Talk to your doctor.
