Aside from forming a physical dependence on the drug itself, Vicodin is LOADED with acetaminophen (Tylenol) that will seriously damage the liver if taken regularly over a period of time!. Tylenol is toxic on the liver and not meant to be consumed in those large quantities over time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's for acute pain!. Like after surgery or something like that!. If you take it as ordered - like every 6 hours or so as needed - for a few days after whatever caused your pain - surgery, a broken bone, a kidney stone (although you'd probably just need it for a day until you pass it) - then you'd be fine!.
It isn't good for chronic pain!. (Even if you don't develop an addiction, you would develop a dependence!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com
