What is a safe mg dosage of Vicodin for my weight that will still relieve severe pain?
I am 5'6 and 125 lbs my doctor prescribed me some other stuff that doesn't work for my severe menstrual cramps once a month. I need to order the proper mg dosage that is both safe and effective for usage one day per month only. It is the only thing that has ever helped me.
doctors try to normally force me to take birth control. anyway i am only interested in what dosage and i haven't had the vicodin for a while since i had my wisdom teeth out. the four pills i had lasted four months since i only need one pill, one day per month. there are about 4-8 hours of excruciating pain that regular pain killers don't work. but the vicodin i was taking which i dont remember the dosage also knocked me out so i was sleeping during the worst hours. i would wake up good as a button.

There is no set dosage when using Vicodin for pain relief of any kind. The goal is to use the least amount possible to provide pain relief. If Vicodin is the only thing that has ever helped your cramps, then I would recommend using the same dosage you used previously.
Be aware that the Tylenol (Acetaminophen) component of Vicodin can be very dangerous if used in excess. The maximum amount of Tylenol that an adult should ingest in 24 hours is 4000 mg. If you have regular Vicodin, then this would be no more than 8 tablets in 24 hours - as it contains 500 mg of Tylenol per tablet.

Eat better. Eat foods found in nature. No foods made in a factory. None.
Get active. Everyday do something. Walk. Run. Dance. Whatever. Get a dog, take it for a walk. Play with your kids if you have any. Get moving.

I have been losing weight my whole life with my heaviest being 360 lbs. I lost 19 lbs in 2 weeks. And even after losing most of my weight on a basic starvation diet and knee crippling exercise I knew this was the answer. I have never been below 25% BF. I have never looked as healthy as I do. I have never had the confidence that I have now. I have never felt as good as I feel.

i work in a pharmacy, you rarely see docs prescribe vicodin for menstrual cramps. Once in a while you see Vicoprofen prescribed which is hydrocodone with ibuprofen, that is probably better than the hydrocodone with tylenol (vicodin) for cramps.

ask your doctor. anything people tell you on these types of websites is unsure. talk to your doctor and have him tell you and probably prescribe you that if not something better.
