Hi, I am a 45 years old woman. I have the strong headaches and I have to make up my mind which medicine to use. Does anyone know which one is better, vicodin or tramadol?

Hi, I used vicodin a long time ago when I had a surgery. I also used tramadol recently, because of some headaches. Vicodin(hidrocodone) really helped me to calm down after the surgery and to relax because the pain was unbearable. I used it probably longer then I should have, and I almost became psychologicly addicted to it. This is the only thing I didn’t like about vicodin. I knew some people who became addicted, and it was very hard for them, because hidrocodones chemical effects are similar to those of heroin. However, tramadol is, as I heard, opioid with a low risk of dependence compared to traditional opioids. In the US its brand name is ultram. Tramadol is available in both oral and injectable preparations, but I used it only oraly.
