I Took Two 10mg Vicodin Pills & I feel A little Off Balanced?

I noticed my pupils are constricted, and when I read or look at something on the computer then look away I feel dizzy and sort of like A drunk feeling.

I have never took any Pain-killer's in my life, & was wondering If this is normal?

My pain from surgery is completely gone though. :)

    What you've taken is a 10/325 Norco. You will get the buzz your describing if your not in pain or haven't taken it before. The best thing to do is lay down and sleep it off. You might get sick as well - it can cause nausea in some people. Try to restrict you dosage in the future as the 10mg/325mg is actually a double dosage in it self. They normally give you a 5mg/500mg or 7.5mg/650mg dosages so the doctor must think you in pain to give you this stronger dosage.

    Vicodin, being a narcotic will effect your brain in such a fashion. If it becomes problematic I'd ask your doctor about lowering the dosage, but I'm not surprised that you're getting that kind of feeling from it. Keep in mind, some ppl are more sensitive to things like that than others. If you have any questions its probably best to direct them to a doctor, or even your local pharmacist would be able to help here. Call your local walgreens or something.

    This is a normal reaction to a narcotic. Not everyones body can handle narcotics the same. Some people can take plenty of narcotics and feel completely normal. My suggestion to you is to take only one Vicodin next time instead of two

    Yes, it's normal. Next time, the best thing to do is take them and lie down and rest. Most narcotics cause these side effects, but some people do not experience this after taking them a couple of times.

    Yea this is normal. The feelings you have are normal for some one that has never taken pain medication before. I would recommend you lay down and relax until you know exactly how your body will behave.

    You are having a normal reaction to the medication. Be careful, don't think of driving while the medication is in your system, keep food in your stomach if you can, and DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS. Vicodin causes major constapation.

    Don't take pain killers if you have no pain. Vicodin is very addictive.

    Vicodin only made me puke for 3 days straight and lose 9 lbs, it sucked.

    Did you read the side effects on the pill bottle? Sounds like some side effects to me. Follow the directions - if in doubt call your doctor or pharmacist.

    Were you suppose to take two? If not, you may be overdosing slightly. But I don't think it's much to be worried about. You're able to type so I'm sure you'll be fine. Some people react differently to medication.

    Pretty normal for powerful medication like that. Nothing to worry about.
