Question 2

how much hydrocodone is too much?

Varies: Any amount in excess of that required to reduce pain to an acceptable level or which produces unacceptable side effects is too much.

Question 3

would hydrocodone make me "loopy"?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It certainly can. Be cautious with any opioid as the entire class can cause some form of sedation or cognitive change.

Question 4

why does hydrocodone ease my pain?

Accepted Answer

Stimulates receptors: There are chemicals in our body that are similar to all "opiates" and there are receptors in our brain that recognize the presence of these chemicals. When either natural "neurotransmitters" or drugs like hydrocodone are present these receptors cause a decreased awareness of the sensation of pain being sent by nerves which are present specifically to signal pain / injury.

Question 5

how harmful is hydrocodone for you?

It is not if used: Correctly and for the appropriate pain and at appropriate levels. It is a fairly "clean" medication to treat pain if used correctly and for short term. Over long term, the addiction potential is strong.

Question 7

please describe the medication: hydrocodone?

Accepted Answer

Narcotic: Hydrocodone or dihydrocodeinone is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from two naturally occurring opiates: Codeine or thebaine. It is an orally active narcotic analgesic and antitussive. It is available in tablet, capsule, and syrup form.

It is used to treat moderate to severe pain or as an antitussive to treat cough.
Hydrocodone affects pain by binding to opioid receptors.

Question 8

differance between hydrocodone 5-325 and 3-325 ?

Accepted Answer

More narcotic: The 1st number is the milligrams of the actual narcotic.  The second is the Acetaminophen content . Remember to limit your Acetaminophen dose to 2000 mg /day.  That is why we sometimes prescribe a higher narcotic content so less pills are taken over 24 hrs.

Question 9

what is the strongest hydrocodone pill for pain?

Accepted Answer

Hydrocodone: Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen (lortab/vicodin/norco) highest is 10mg per tablet. Hydrocodone alone is available as Hysingla ER highest dose 120mg and this is one tab per day.

Question 10

what is stronger, hydrocodone 7.5/325 or 7.5/500?

Accepted Answer

The latter: The tablet you described is a combination of two medications. One is opiod called hydrocodone, the other one is acetaminophen, brand name tylenol. The 325 formulation is probably safer if one takes more than half a dozen of these per day.
