A member asked:

I've been taking hydrocodone for back pain one to two times daily for several months now. can you get addicted to it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolutely: Hydrocodone is highly addictive when taken on a regular basis. One or two tablets daily is a smaller dose so addiction potential is somewhat less but still is reasonably high.
