Hydrocodone seems like quite a jump to make from what you were taking before. 10mg codein is a VERY weak dose, T-3's contain 30 as it is and I've taken 60mg without any analgesia. The 660 APAP is just another term for aspirin or acetaminophen, both mild over-the-counter stuff.

But man, I envy you in a way, I only wish I could get something strong enough like that to provide real pain relief. Addiction is likely if you use it regularily though, so keep an eye on that and don't take them whenever you can manage. If you are, however, concerned about something with that addiction potential, maybe you should ask about Tramadol. It's a synthetic partial morphine-receptor agonist, but only 10% as strong as morphine and a very low addiction potential. A good compromise between the weak-ass codein and powerfull hydrocodone (which contains codein and thebeine).

Also, opiates can be constipating as hell when your body's not used to them. If you get constipation really bad, drinking a 1/2 cup olive oil with 1/2 cup orange jiuce is a surefire cure. But that dose is pretty strong and will make you have several "oily movements", so you should probably start with 1/4 to 1/4 and see if that works first. Trust me, you'll want to keep that in mind.

Good luck to you.

Tomorow is the big day!!!!:D As some of you guys might know, I have been diagnosed with a chronic disease that causes me alot of pain (H.S.). On Monday I had told my dermatologist the fact that the Vicodin HP (10MG codeine, 660 APAP) he perscribed me was no longer relieving my pain, as I now have to take 2 pills and that it ony relieves me of about 80% of my daily pain for about 2 hours. He sayed that the reduce in affectiveness was due to my increasing opium tolerance, and that I would have Rating: 5
