Ah, yes - fun with pharmacology.

One problem with most drugs is that different people react differently to medications. There are people who become loopy after taking a half dose of Darvocet and some who won't even blink at an injection of morphine (which really stinks if you have a lot of pain). Just remember this and talk to your doctor the next time you need a prescription painkiller.
My regular dentist is well aware of my resistance to pain killers. This was an emergency, not my usual person, and I'd never taken Vicodin before. Probably won't bother again!
