Couple questions about vicodin m360..?

Question

ok, so my cousin gave me some of these because I have a pretty bad toothache. until I can get it pulled, I needed something for the pain.. 1) how strong are these? I'm only about 115 lbs. I've taken percocets before, but only perc 5's, and a piece of a perc 30 a couple of times. I know these vics I have now are generic 2) what should I expect to feel like? I usually chew my pills and then swallow, because I've always hated swallowing pills. I'm just afraid of feeling "too high" and whatnot. with the percs I've felt like that, but it didn't bother me because it wasn't a ridiculous high or anything.
thanks!

Additional Details

I'm not sure how to reply to people's specific answers on here (just used this for the first time today) but to answer the 2nd question - I do have antibiotics too. I'm taking penicillin to get rid of any infection. I know chewing isn't the best idea, but I have a stupid fear of swallowing pills :/ when the doctor have me the percs, she said it was ok to chew if I wanted to, though it might make me naseous, though that *is* a perc and not a vicodin, so hm.. thanks for the answer though! :)

DaBrat - I haven't actually been to the dentist yet. I had slight pain in my back bottom tooth for a week or so, but thought it may just be a normal toothache and just go away. then it became excruiating and I realized I had a hole in my tooth. it was so bad, I went to the emergency room since it was late and I obviously couldn't go to a dentist. they gave me the penicillin and percs then. I'm renewing my insurance tomorrow and then contacting a dentist right after that, so hopefully this darn tooth will be pulled within the next week and I'll be good to go :)

The vicodin is not as strong as the Percocet, so if you've handled Percocet okay then you'll be fine with the Vicodin. Expect to feel pretty much like you felt with the Percocet, though markedly less intense... a little drowsy, a little "floaty" maybe, possibly a bit nauseous, especially if you chew them.

Answer 2

I've been proscribed vicodin lots before, i'm 155 lbs and got it for a broken arm, and 2 took car of it, so in your case i would take just 1 or possibly two if you aren't going to be doing anything for 6 or so hours after.

remember, NEVER take it with booze. It makes u feel really tired, and you wont be able to sleep if you do.

p.s. make sure to take it with food, probably yogurt or something for the sake of your tooth:)

Answer 3

What are the strenght of the vicodin. I don't recommend chewing your medications. Now all meds are ment to be chewed. Personally you shouldn't be taking someon elses medications. Second of all if you have a toothache you should also be on antibiotics. The dentist won't touch you with a nasty tooth. So I recommend seeing a doctor to get some antibiotics and your own Rx of pain meds.

Answer 4

First of all, you shouldn't take anyone else's meds. You could be mixing them with something you may be taking and that is what usually kills people.That is exactly why doctors want to know everything you are taking. The feelings that are normal are feeling hot and sweaty all over and drowsy. Second of all, why didn't you just ask your dentist for some pain meds? Also from personal experience I have to say the perocets are stronger then the vicodin. But please, before taking meds, talk to your doctor. Better safe than sorry.
