A member asked:

Any ideas why hydrocodone causes me to cry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: But opioids can worsen underlying depression. They are central nervous system depressants, and while people may feel more relaxed or even euphoric on them, others may have their underlying issues triggered. I would suggest a discussion with a mental health professional.
