How do you prevent from getting nauseous when taking vicodin?

Q: I’ve been taking vicodin the last couple weeks because i hurt my hand pretty bad. I have to take more now because my tolerance is increasing but now i get sick sometimes when I take it. I’ve tried taking it after a meal, eating it with crackers, and drinking it with milk but I don’t always have food available. Any more ideas on how to keep from getting sick? or on how to stop my tolerance from increasing?

A: You said you have to take more now? It sounds like you are taking more than the recommended dose and that can surely cause Nausea. Vicodin, is a very powerful pain killer! You need do be real careful when taking it and you have to take it the way it is prescribed. Vicodin can cause Liver Damage if not taken as prescribed!!! If you are not really careful, you may end with Liver Damage, you can possibly overdose on it, you can become addicted to it, and taking more of it, will build up a resistance to it and it won’t work anymore, which is what is probably happening now, if you have to take more. You really need to see your Dr. If you are taking more than the prescribed dose, please Stop! Your Dr. may be able to give you something else, that will be more effective and longer lasting for helping relieve the pain. Have you tried eating something FIRST, waiting about a half an hour and then taking the Vicodin. If not, I would try taking the regular dose that way, and see if it makes you Nauseous. Hope you feel better!Here is more information on Vicodin!http://www.drugs.com/vicodin.htmlhttp://www.addictionsearch.com/treatment_articles/article/vicodin-addiction-abuse-and-treatment_42.html
