Question 1

for how long can you take hydrocodone before it kills your liver?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't kill your: Liver.  The Acetaminophen that is part of all currently available hydrocodone-containing pills (from 325 mg to up to 1000 mg) is what damages the liver. People who are trying to get high, or to feed an opiate dependency, may use 30 to 40 pills per day, and are therefore getting 12 or more grams of acetaminophen, which can cause massive liver damage. Alcohol consumption makes this even more toxic.

Question 2

how long after taking oxycontin can you take hydrocodone for breakthrough pain?

Accepted Answer

Any time: The time is probably not important. The important question is why would a 32 year be dependent on multiple narcotic medications?

Question 3

can i take too much hydrocodone?

Accepted Answer

If you're asking  : Whether it's possible to take too much, the answer is a big yes.

Always take medications as prescribed by your physician. Every medication has a potentially lethal dose. Hydrocodone is a narcotic which means it slows breathing and heart rate. Too much, especially if you mix it with alcohol, could slow both so much that you would die.

Question 4

would hydrocodone take away pain?

Accepted Answer

Depends on what: Kind of pain. It can help decrease certain types of pain. However, you will need to discuss with your physician first whether or not it is the right medication for your pain and also for you individually. Hope that helps!

Question 5

can i take two 5-500 hydrocodone?

Accepted Answer

Hydrocodone: Yes, but that is a lot of tylenol (acetaminophen) and if you do it regularly you may hurt your liver.  Hydrocodone is just for acute pain and is not a good drug for chronic pain.

Question 6

is it okay to take 6 5/500 mg hydrocodone?

Accepted Answer

No advisable.: Do you mean taking it all at once ? If yes, i would not advise it. You will have taken 30 mg of hydrocodone and 3 gm of tylenol (acetaminophen) all at once if you do it. 30 mg of hydrocodone may be too much for you as a single dose and 3 gm of tylenol (acetaminophen) leaves you  with igm of additional tylenol (acetaminophen) before you reach the allowable 4 gm tylenol (acetaminophen) quantity limit/day. Tylenol (acetaminophen) and nsaids have a ceiling effect.

Question 7

hydrocodone: what should i expect when i take this?

Accepted Answer

Relieved: Of pain, if you take this drug for that purpose, dysphoric (uncomfortable, restless, anxious, disoriented) for any other reason.

Question 8

can i take ibuproen and hydrocodone 5-325 together?

Accepted Answer

YES: Try to get away from the hydrocodone ....it is an extremely addicting opiate!! (The 325 is some acetominophen and Ibuprofen is an NSAID the two can be taken together)
Hope this is helpful

Question 9

what quantity of hydrocodone should i take to overdose?

Accepted Answer

You shouldn't.: Get help. Get help now. Have a friend or relative drive you to the nearest er or call 911 for transport. An od is not the answer.

Question 10

could you take anti-psycotics and hydrocodone together?

Accepted Answer

Under close supervis: both of these drugs are mind altering.  I assume that u r taking the antipsychotic on an on-going basis.  Hydrocodone is a pain medication that normally is taken for a short term.  if your pain is chronic then you should be under the care of a pain specialist so the he/she can closely monitor and perhaps treat your pain with some other modality other than narcotics.
