You have to be careful not to overdose on Vicodin. You have to remember Vicodin is really just extra strong Tylenol that can and will do serious harm. I would contact the Doctor and tell what is happening and he can give a stronger/different script to help with the pain or anxiety. Everyone reacts different...Percocet made me itchy whereas Vicodin made me constipated. Someone I knew had to take Oxycontin for the pain. Just be careful and get in contact with the Doctor.
