A member asked:

Could you replace hydrocodone with ibuprofen?

Dr. Robert Kent answered

Specializes in Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine

Depends how long: You have been on hydrocodone and what your pain is from. You may suffer withdrawal if you have been on hydrocodone for chronic pain. However, if you are just transitioning after short term, it may be fine. I would recommend speaking with your prescribing physician.
