I went in for dental work on friday and it seems for the first time in life this pain killer is not being so nice with it. It says take on an empty stomach which I have, but I still feel like I have been drug by a truck for miles on end after taking it.

Needless to say its been a very long past few days.

Have you taken it a lot over the years? You may have built up a tolerance for it if that is the case. If at all possible you want to switch up your medications (antibiotics and pain killers mainly) for this exact reason.

I sure hope you feel better I know dental pain is not fun at all!

It has been completely random, and I do not think the few times I have taken them since its been spread out (by years) it would be that tolerant. I am not sure what is going on but so far today has been the first full day without feeling like pooh.

Are you feeling crappy from the dental work or the meds? If the hydrocodone is making you nauseous, call your doctor and they can prescribe something to help with that. I always have to take a phenergan with mine.

I certainly would call the dentist and talk to them about the drug. You never know when you can develop either a tolerance or an allergy to a drug. If you have taken it before and have had good results and something is different now, it's time to call the dentist or doctor.
