Thanks for the answers! I have the WORST cramps the first day.. then i'm fine.. so I already had vicodin for something else but i haven't taken it. I'm sort of afraid too. I have only taken codeine before. But thanks for the tips!! You all helped very much. Thanks.

Although Vicodin is a strong painkiller, it doesn't really work that well on cramps! You are much better off taking Alleve or Motrin. If you are taking Vicodin anyway, you really shouldn't combine it with an OTC painkiller. Vicodin contains Acetominiphen (same as Tylenol) and you are not supposed to mix it with asprin, Alleve, Motrin, etc. Feel better....

Vicodin For Cramps

Sure you can, if that's what helps your pain. Just don't take any exessive amounts of tylenol, as the vicodin has some tylenol in it already. Also, stay away from alcohol. Be careful to only use the vicodin for two or three days, and only if *nothing* else works.
You can also safely take a dose of ibuprofen to help with bloating, as the tylenol or vicodin will do neither.

sure just don't get addicted to it take it only when necessary. With vicodin you shouldn't need another otc drug.

sure, I believe its a pain reliever, so you can take motrin with it, but you shouldn't need motrin with it, if you are still in pain go to a doctor

i guess it would stop the cramps but i think it might make you bleed more because it thins your blood
