Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would explain that your symptoms could be related to Vicodin adverse effects. You should know that this drug should not be taken for a long time. It can cause several gastro-intestinal problems. For this reason, I would recommend trying to gradually reduce its dose ( in order to avoid withdrawal syndrome) and then stop taking in .
If your complaints persist despite stopping Vicodin, I would recommend performing an abdominal ultrasound and a fibrogastroscopy, to investigate for other possible causes underlying your complaints.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
