Is Vicodin Right Medication For Tooth Pain After Tooth Extraction?

Hi,
I am currently taking 100mg of Zoloft and 20mg of Buspar daily along with Yaz birth control. I am having severe tooth pain from a wisdom tooth that needs to be extracted. I was wondering if it would be dangerous for me to take Vicodin for the pain after the extraction with the medication I'm already on. I'm also wondering if I could take Vicodin now before the operation since OTC pain medications do not help at all.
Thanks,
Lauren

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would like to tell you that pain , swelling , fever are common complications after tooth extraction it will subside after some time by its own, so you need not to worry.
For pain relief you can take ibuprofen BD for 3 to 5 days instead of the given medication.

Take care!
