is glorified in Fox's "House" on network television. The show hardly illustrates the seriousness of Hydrocodone's physical dependence and it should. I think I saw one episode with "House" withdrawing and that was it, but it only depicted a millionth of a fraction of the horrors of it. You can base a entire episode of him not being able to get out of bed.

I must add in this article as a example and as a spokesman to say opiates including Hydrocodone are nothing to use recreationally. These narcotics are strong and physical dependence on them can literally destroy your entire life. I urge anyone that is considering using pain meds just for the uppity feeling you get from the and they are not prescribed to you, I urge you to reconsider your source of recreation. I would not wish physical dependence on my worse enemy. When you are prescribed Hydrocodone it is imperative to not double doses, ( To attain the same effect, if this happens, a dose does not work, slow down, your body is only going to warn you once) for when you do this you will have to do it again, than more and than more. Do not take something stronger! Example; If you run out of meds and your Mother has Percocets. Do not take them! Your Hydrocodone will than in time be useless. Take again as prescribed. It never hurts to take less.

Hydrocodone tablets commonly come with a boatload of Tylenol in them. I believe there are just Hydrocodone instant release pills but I hardly ever see these prescribed. In a scenario where a individual is abusing Hydrocodone the amount of Tylenol they end up consuming can be extremely detrimental to the liver. A 10 mg Vicoden can pack up to 750 milligrams of Tylenol. Now this is three regular tylenol pills or a Tylenol Extra strength plus a regular one. In other word's, A lot! This amount of Tylenol in a sense is worse than the actual narcotic itself on the liver and kidneys. On this premise YOU DO NOT mix Hydrocodone with alcohol. And before driving or other tasks you must see how you first react to the medication.

Hydrocodone is a fantastic pain reliever when used properly. If these work on you for pain, you must cherish and respect this. Living in pain is horrible but the pain that results from the physical dependence of these things are worse.
