Unlikely: This is not likely. I would recommend seeing a neurologist for evaluation.

Unlikely : It really should not and there should be no major withdrawals if it has been intermittent use. Need to look for other cause of seizures. May need to see family doctor and at his discretion my need a head cat scan if there is no other reasonable cause.

Get diagnosed: First off, my collegue gave you great advice regarding your seizures. But taking hydrocodone for a few months because of a toothache? What's up with that? Pain meds are meant for short term only until you get to a dentist. See a dentist asa p for the toothache to be diagnosed and treated!

Don't understand: Toothache caused by infection. Pain killers don't cure infection, just mask symptoms. Have your dentist refer you to an endodontist, a root canal specialist, to treat the infection.
