Question: Vicoden makes me hyper & gives me insomnia. What is a good alternative?I will be having some surgery - and those doctors like to give me vicoden afterwards.... it is SUPPOSED to help me sleep and get rest to recuperate - but I swear the stuff makes me want to get up and clean the whole house. I certainly don't get any sleep. Anyone else have this problem? Is there an alternative pain medication that is as effective that I could ask for instead? !-- end question -->Well, the only problem with Tramadol, is that its a very weak opiate, weak enough that its not even a controlled substance, and wont relieve pain the same way Vicodin will.

Answer: Well, the only problem with Tramadol, is that its a very weak opiate, weak enough that its not even a controlled substance, and wont relieve pain the same way Vicodin will. You can ask about percocets, they're a little stronger than vicodin, but they're a common prescription for pain. If they dont want to give you them, demerol is another option, a little weaker than vicodin, but it might help. There are a lot of other alternatives, but some will be too weak to likely help (codeine, tramadol, darvocet) and others would likely be too strong for them to consider (morphine, hydromorphone, fentanyl)
