A member asked:
I am prescribed hydrocodone10mg one every 4 hours, am scared of addiction and withdrawal, articles say taking one a day is bad and habit forming?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydrocodone: Is this a short term medication or a chronic medication? Do you have problems with other substances (illicit drugs, prescription medications or alcohol)? Everything is relative regarding development of tolerance.
