A member asked:

How long is it supposed to it take for one to develop a dependency on oxycodone and/or hydrocodone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Narcotic dépendance: If you are prescribed a certain quantity of narcotic for a specific pain focus it is unlikely you will develop a dependancy. It usually happens in illicit or chronic situations.
