vicodin has become a substance of my daughter for the past 2 years. It started as a pain killer for an abcess tooth, which her M.D.,(not her dentist) continually prescribed, I don't believe, realizing there was a problem with the vicodin. She has now been taken off the vic and put on several different meds, such as amitriptyline,bextra valdoxib and wellbutrin. Everything I have found on the net seems to cause great side effects, such as heart attack and stroke and suicidal tendences, butused for an anti-depression medication. What does a concerned mother do ???
