A member asked:
A friend of mine seems to be relying on hydrocodone for anxiety relief..is this problematic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: Hydrocodone is a pain medication. It is not for the treatment of anxiety. It can cause sedation, but this is not helping the primary issue of anxiety. In addition, hydrocodone is a very addictive substance and could cause another problem instead of helping the real one! There are many other excellent treatments for anxiety.
