Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
DR.GREIF, I VE BEEN TAKING HYDROCODONE 600MG FOR SERVERE NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN, WILL I GET ADDICTED TO THIS MEDICINE? IT SAY TO TAKE IT 3 TIMES A DAY BUT IM SCARED THAT S WAY TOO MUCH, BUT I REALLY HURT BADILY.IM JUST SCARED OF HYDROCODONE, AND DONT WONT TO GET ADDICTED TO NO KIND OF MEDICINES
Large amounts of hydrocodone over a period of time will cause addiction. To lower your risk of addiction I would recommend limiting your use to as little as possible. To reduce pain I would recommend other options like meditation, yoga, regular aerobic exercise, massage therapy and physical therapy. Your doctor may recommend other options.
To reduce hydrocodone addiction slow weaning of the dose over several days to weeks can be effective. Sometimes going through and addiction specialist may also help with the weaning process.
I hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions please contact us.
