Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

Vicoden has a combination of hydrocodone & acetaminophen, which helps to relieve pain & to reduce fever.

It presents with common side effects like Nausea, vomiting, constipation, lightheadedness, dizziness etc. It might cause or worsen the headache at times.

As you already have uncontrolled headache & if any of the above side effects is noted in future its better to quit vicoden & switch over other OTC drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
