You need to eat some crackers and drink lots of water to get it to go thru. You will feel really dizzy and light headed if you don't eat anything. it will pass but it will take a while. If it is really making you feel sick I suggest you just lay down. You are only gonna feel sicker if you walk around. Sleeping will make it go by faster.

make what go faster? call your doc or poison control

Just drink a lot of water. I have taken way more then that.

go to the emergency room, they might need to pump your stomach im sure its not that big of a deal and you will be fine but its better to be safe then sorry.

Unluckily there really isn't anything you can do, it has to come out of your system completly it will probley take at least a couple of hours.

drink lots of milk or water and eat if you can. you'll be fine.

drink lots of water to flush your system
this happened on house when he overdosed.

That was stupid. You may pass out and stop breathing. You may shut down your liver or kidney. Next time follow directions. And call an ambulance genius.

Call poison control or docs office and tell them what you did, that it was accidental, not suicidal. You could have some serious side effects with that .

either smoke some weed to take away the puke feeling, or just brush those teeth, and drink some milk.

Gee I dunno, maybe use your head when you take medication duh ha ha he ho.

You can't do anything to make it go faster, however, you do need to call the doctor or even the ER and explain your situation. The way the meds work depends on your sensativity to them, your weight, anything else you may have taken etc. You need to contact a health official pretty quickly. I wouldn't run to the ER, but you should call.

If you feel really bad call 911 if you don't feel that bad, then take a cool shower. You said you vomited so that most likely got rid of the undigested medication you should start feeling better with in a few hours

That is a common side effect. Doctors and ER usually give Pepcid for the nausea/vomiting. I don't think it's enough to warrant stomach pumping.

Lots and Lots of Water it will pass eat some crackers too

It will take time but it will get better

Get to the Emergency Room ASAP they May need to pump your stomach

Be sure to take whatever you took to the hospital with you because Vicodin itself don't come in 500mg, one has 500mg of acetaminophen in it...these are the Vicodin: 500mg acetaminophen / 5mg hydrocodone; Vicodin ES: 750mg acetaminophen / 7.5mg hydrocodone; Vicodin HP: 10mg hydrocodone / 660mg acetaminophen.
But you may need to have your stomach pumped. And taking to many Vicodin will never give you a feel good high only make you feel misserable.

Since you've been sick i wouldn't worry too much but give the hospital a call, no one on here can give you real medical advice where drugs are concerned, its best left to the professionals. Good luck and i hope you feel better soon.
