I had LEEP done the other day. They gave me Viakadin for the pain and it made me feel extremely bad. I threw up 5 times and felt dizzy. I feel very nausious and dizzy today as well. Am I allergic to Vicadin? Why do I feel so crappy?

Stop taking the vikadin. i had the leep procedure done about a year ago and seriously they gave me nothing but some Tylenol. U can really get through the pain with out that heavy of a drug. I don't know if you are allergic but i will say that those type of drugs make alot of people feel worse. My fiance had his teeth pulled and they gave him something similar and he felt even worse. He stopped taking it and immediately started feeling better. But about your procedure, just take some Tylenol and follow the doctors rules. Seriously don't even think about having sex until the doctor gives you the okay. I had a friend that almost died because she didnt listen and she became infected and was rushed to the hospital. they had to do a DNC but not before she got extremely sick. She was in the hospital for two weeks! Also if you start passing very large clots its normal unless you start to feel fatigued or dizzy because of the bleeding. My doctor didnt tell me that could happen and i got so scared that i went to the emergency room. i know this is gross but they were so large that i could literally feel them inside. So just a tip in case. Good luck!

What a loaded Question! Those are side effects from the procedure or the medicine. Did you take the meds on an empty stomach or with citric acid? What did you eat? Anyone throwing up 5 times after a procedure can be dizzy. Did you have anesthetic? You can have the side effects from that. Try thinking if it like the flu. You had a procedure in a sensitive area. Chicken soup, clear liquids & sleep. See if you can take half the vicoden pill. It may be too much for you. Try crackers before you take it to reduce stomach iritation. A nurse usually calls to check within 24 hours of the procedure. You may want to ask her. You pay the Dr a lot of money - you can call the 24 hr # to ask his/her advice. Feel better.

I've had similar symtoms with Vicadin. It's not the you are allergic to it (at least that wasn't my case) but the dosage was too strong.
Try taking the medication with food or cutting the dosage. It might help a bit.
Hope you have a swift recovery!
