Brief Answer:
I doubt this level should cause any impairment

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. An average 70 kg human being has about 5-6 litres if blood in their body. Considering the upper limit (i.e. 6 litres of blood) we would have about 0.06 milligrams of hydrocodone in your blood which is insufficient to cause any restriction or impairment whatsoever.

The average human needs at least around 10 mg of hydrocodone in their body to cause any effect at all. I would say you are safe to drive unless you do not have any other underlying condition that can result in any impairment in your driving judgement or unless you have mixed hydrocodone with other factors that can enhance the effect of the drug like alcohol, coffee, etc.

Please drive safely and if at all you have any unsettled feelings about driving whilst being on hydrocodone then leave the driving to others or hail a cab.

Please also feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
Your blood glucose levels could itself be the cause

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again.

Well hydrocodone in my opinion is clearly not the cause, but finding acetone in your urine does indicate weight loss which is common for individuals with diabetes. There could be a possibility of your blood glucose levels being poorly controlled, which in turn has caused slight impairment in your conscious alert status resulting in the drunk feeling your have experienced.

So in my opinion the diabetes itself could be the cause, resulting in a change in your consciousness. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
