Is Hydrocodone/APAP 10/325 Tabs generic for Vicoden?

Which is stronger, If you could put these in order, I sure would appreciate it. Thanks,

Hydrocodone /APAP 10/325 Tabs

*Loretab

Vicoden

Darvocett (N-100)

*Peridans

Tylenol 3's and 4's

Does drug addiction have to do with each individual? Like can one person get addited to Hydrocodone #10 and another person, doesn't become addited with the same pill and the same amount?

I'm guessing that all this has to do with size, weight, age and other personal factors.

Will the withdrawl be the same for both of these two people. As far as the pain, cold sweats, shakes, *nausia and other things are concerned?

I do know that I need to talk to a Licensed Doctor or *Pharmasist to get the correct answers. Just wanted a general opinion from the public, thank you for your time.

About 2 months my mid-back started hurting when I was sleeping. I have been to a chiropractor several times, but it has not helped. It only hurts when I am sleeping, and has gotten progrssively worse. It almost always gets completely better within minutes of getting up in the morning.

I get strange feelings when I lay my head down on my pillow, or when standing in certain positions. I usually get the pain on whatever side of my head im laying on and most of the time its a dull pain, sometimes sharp pain, and sometimes just this weird feeling like there's a bubble in my head or something. The pain usually goes away once I lift my head again, or when I lay down for a few seconds if the pain occurred when I was standing.

I got my lip pierced on my left side about 3-4 weeks ago. My best friend came along with me to get hers done too. However the guy that did our piercings did not give us any care instructions...now granid i do have my belly button and nose done but that was months ago so i dont remember what to do. Now my best friends boyfriend works at that SAME tattoo shop so he told her everything and she neglected to tell me everything. I did the best i could with ignoring it all together but i'm guessing i keep hitting in my sleep and im not cleaning it properly but i've gotten scar tissue around the outside and redness. Now i dont really care if i get a bump there with it its just i really want to know if the redness will go away. Is there anything i can do to make the redness go away?!? Please help!!!!

I am 21 years old, average weight and average height.

Last year and the years prior to that, I had been having a Blood Pressure of approximately 110/80. In the months following until now, I had been under considerable stress and started to notice that it had dropped to a low of 95/55. It's been that way ever since. I don't understand the cause for it, and though I feel quite fine - no dizzy spells, no fainting, no lethargia except on nights when I don't sleep much - I don't know if this is something I should worry about.
I am young but I am not as active as I used to be when my BP was within the normal range.
So, should I be worried? What sorts of signs and symptoms should I keep an eye out for? What could be the possible causes?

My mom broke her ankle nearly five weeks ago. The day after she broke it, she had surgery to put a plate in.

After two weeks, the doctor removed the hard cast and put her in a walking boot. She's been in that for three weeks.

In the last five days or so, her foot has a lot of peeling skin. It's almost like a typical sunburn, and large pieces are peeling off.

I'm thinking the old skin has "died" and the new skin is coming on. But, I'm not sure, and haven't been able to find anything about this.

Thanks for any sources of information and your good help!

I live in an urban city, and I'm getting bitten at night by bugs because I have itchy bites on my legs. I'm pretty sure they aren't bed bugs because bed bugs are 1/4 inches long, and i don't think anything like that is in my room. Any ideas? They might be mosquitoes because i live near a lake, but i don't get how they would get to my legs.
