I was prescribed vicodin a few years ago for a back issue. It just didn't work for me, so i stopped taking it. never had a problem with vicodin and addiction. 800 mg of motrin worked better, but the problem is that, although non addictive, taking that much motrin on a continual basis is bad for your liver.
