Opiates: Please consult a psychiatrist since problems with opiate use are very common.

None: Feelings like that with opiates are a common side effect, but definitely not something you should use if you're not actually in pain. I agree, opiates can be very addicting, especially in patients who are not using them for pain management, so i agree that seeing your physician or a psychiatrist is the best option.

Depends: Depending on how long you having been taking hydrocodone you may have developed dependence. I would see your pcp or a pain specialist to get you off this habit forming narcotic.
