how addictive is hydrocodone? if someone was taking 4 pills once a day for about 2 weeks would you consider them addicted? is there a bad withdrawal from hydrocodone? o yeah and whats stronger hydrocodone or vicadin?
sorry if i sound like a noob but i really need to know.
i took vicodin(hydrocodone is the same thing as vicodin) one time each day for about 3 weeks and i didnt get addictied but i dont know if it will be the same for you. i t could be addictive because it is an opiate.
possible to get addicted, depends on body and mind
i doubt it could be addictive bodily, but in reality everything can addictive mentally. it really just depends how much you enjoy them. anything that you find yourself doing regularly and feel bad when going off schedule with is an addiction. if you play basketball everyday and then stop for a week and just feel grumpy because you cant play, then you are mentally addicted to basketball, though only very little.
4 a day for 2 weeks, you aren't gonna have withdrawls, but that's pretty close to the limit. Are you gonna miss them? Oh, hell yeah. That's on 5mg pills, 10 mg maybe mild withdrawls. Hydrocodone is just the generic name for vicodin, same thing.
i took them for 3 months ... 2 a day... at first the higher mg then the lower and had an unpleasant withdrawl but no addiction and it was fine... dont take them early in the mornin after a night of heavy drinkin without eatin or drinkin... you will get very sick
hydrocodone isn't the generic name for vicodin, it's the opiate in vicoden that produces the effects you feel. vicodin also contains tylonol, which can be toxic in high doses. However, 4 pills a day isnt gonna do that, but taking tylonol constantly for a long period of time ( like a month or more, depending on your age) can cause liver damage. But back to the question, no you probably wont get addicted, most people don't. You might have a mild withdrawel upon stopping, but I dont think you have to worry about addiction.
oh alright thanks guys
Maybe if you snort them.
my bottle of generic vicodin 10's has "hydrocodone" on it...and yes, it is very addictive, which is why almost evryone who have been on them for a length of time HAVE withdrawls when getting off them. if you have chronic pain which needs a regular dose to relieve you should ask your doc for percoDAN or one of the contins. acetometaphin is one of the worst things you can put into your body long term...
4 pills/day is the standard dose (1 every 4-6 hours) and the withdrawl is no worse than any other opiate but it will be there if not careful!
