Absolutely: Any narcotic taken regularly even at small doses can encourage your body to become dependent. Good luck.

Unlikely: This is not a large dose of norco, (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) i would not be too worried about dependence. It is possible however, so discuss your symptoms with your doctor.
