Vicodin is a commonly prescribed narcotic pain reliever for mild to intense pain. Vicodin contains a very strong narcotic pain reliever called Hydrocodone (which is an opioid) and a pain reliever called Acetaminophen (sold under the brand name Tylenol). Because of the very powerful Hydrocodone, Vicodin has a very high risk of addiction and dependence. Addiction to Vicodin, much like other Opioids can lead to some nasty withdrawal symptoms which require a proper medically monitored detox to fully remove them from your body.
