Sometimes Vicodin makes me dizzy. I'd never be able to drive or do a massage under its influence. I have the same experience as you do. It's much gentler, my Darvocet generic just takes the edge off. Of course, I only use one pill at a time, for a six hour period, so by many standards, I'm not getting any. But I was afraid of so much acetaminophen so I'm careful with it.

But I'm not supposed to take aspirin with Celebrex, and motrin seems to help headaches but not much else. So this implies going to a lot of other choices with side effects that get much nastier. Celebrex has been threatened, too. ARGH!
