A member asked:

Hydrocodone once a day at bed a month for pain. i ran out 2 days ago, now getting weird feeling in legs, cant sit still. getting withdrawal? what do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely withdrawal: hydrocodone is a very short-acting drug, and taking it once daily is highly unlikely to produce any physical dependency. You may have been treating a case of restless leg syndrome with opioids, and now that you are not treating it, you are feeling the symptoms more strongly. Talk to your doctor. Pain is a symptom of something underlying, and covering it up with opioids isn't good. Get answers.
