I'm sure it would. It can be very addicting if you use it too much. It will also lower your magnesium levels so you would need to add more magnesium.

I used the stronger version (Norco) of it through a couple months of my harder Lyme treatment and it worked. I was very conservative with taking it ... i.e. - I didn't take it every time I had pain.

I have norco but I cut it in fourths cause I know I will never get another prescription.
I only take it when I hurt so bad I can barely move.

- There are safer approaches.
But, if you do vicodin, be sure liver & kidney support is tip top as vicodin is ototoxic and can damage hearing. Liver / kidney support may help - but take it well in advance and consistently throughout the day and before bed.
Be sure to wear ear plugs &/ or decibel rated muffs when around any appliance that makes sound, like hairdryer, blender, vacuum, and lawn tools, too.
Ototoxic drugs can cause hearing damage to occur at lower dB levels than usual, and for a couple months even after stopping the Rx. -
