Do you think I had an allergic reaction to Vicodin?
Yesterday in the early afternoon I had my right wisdom teeth pulled out. I was awake and only given novocain to numb me up. Procedure was great, went by quickly and the rest of the day I spent drooling on myself with an ice pack on my face. I barely at anything besides a little cup of yogurt and a bowl of congee (rice soup). I took my first amoxicillin at around 4:30, then the next one around 10. Then at about 11:30 I took one vicodin 5/500. At about 12 my hands started to get really cold and tingly, I just thought it was because my heat wasn't on. Then I became extremely light headed and nauseous. By then the whole top of my head felt like cold like ice tingles. I got up and could barely feel my legs and sat on the floor in the bathroom waiting to vomit. I gagged a few times and was sure I was going to throw up the vicodin but nothing came up. I looked in the mirror and my face was ghost pale and all around my eyes were red, like they were swollen. I had never looked like that pale in my life. I almost fell asleep on the toilet a few times but woke up because I felt like I couldn't breathe or that my pulse was stopping. Is this normal for a first time using vicodin? Or am I allergic? I asked my doctor and he said its a narcotic so it's normal to have those reactions...
