Kudo Says:
I have severe chronic back pain. A neurosurgeon prescribed Hydrocodone-apap 10/325mgs tablets to be taken every 8 hours. I am finding that my pain diminishes 1 to 1/2 hour after taking one tablet. Can I take 1 tablet more often, i.e., every four hours?

As for being addicted to hydrocodone. You have to realize that everyone's body is not the same. If everyone's body was like mine the pharmaceutical companies wouldn't be making opiates since they don't work on my DNA. If you not a doctor don't say hydrocodone won't hurt a person's body, they are NOT crazy. After years of taking hydrocodone my liver evaluations were bad so my doctor put me on oxycodone because it does not have acetaminophen. Too bad it took years before DNA analysis' were invented so that I found out that every medicine I had ever been given except one anti-depressant, didn't work on my DNA. You may know your body but don't act like every person is like you.

I take Norco 5-325 for pain. How often can I take them? One doesn't last very long as far as pain relief goes.

I know this was posted awhile ago but I feel the need to reply since no one has. Do not quit quit cold turkey as very serious side effects can happen. The first step is to talk to your doctor about weaning safely and/or seek help from Narcotics Anonymous. Social workers are great too! I hope you get the help you need.

I get it without the acetaminophen because it made my liver function higher than normal.

Billy, Breakthrough meds aren't suppose to be taken regularly. A lot of drs won't prescribe them. The directions on the hydrocodone are to be taken when needed.

I was wondering how this works? I don't like the Tylenol portion of this med it messes with my stomach and would rather use advil or aleive in its place as my illness causes frequent fevers. What is the dose you get without the tylenol?

I just had knee surgery, broke my toe with my crutches and have severe canal stenosis. I take hydrocodone 10 mg. I take 2 at a time. Is it ok, if, for a short time about 3 days, im taking 2 at once, then another 1 an hour later than 2 at once 2 hours later, the pain is bad. I know this is too much but will it be ok if done for only a couple days till my pain is less? I mean can only 3 days of this cause me to overdose and die, like not wake up in the morning because i have to take 2 more in the middle of the night for the severe pain.

The maximum daily dose for acetominophen is 1000 mg or 1 gram daily. More than that and you're messing badly with your liver. This is the consensus of all the pharmacists I've spoken to, both in hospital and out. I'll take their word for it.

Karen, Morphine Extended Release takes a while to build up in your system. You should get better pain management from it the longer you take it. If not, tell your dr, he may need to give you a higher mg.

That's the maximum you should take a day if needed for pain but if you don't need it that much then you aren't supposed to take it

Have you consulted your doctor, or the neurosurgeon?
Hydrocodone with Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Vicodin, is a narcotic opiate pain medication, so while there are times it is appropriate to take it more often, sometimes as often as every 6 hours, you should not do so, without checking with your physician.

I was going to write the dosage but Max has written everything I was going to say verbatim just so you get a second opinion max is right on everything that he wrote from the hydrocodone maximum to the tylenol maximum per day I would recommend the 10mg/325mg the last tylenol the better for your liver

The morphine at 15 mg is a deadly dose. Look up how much a cancer patient gets. It killed my mother. It will destroy your liver, your colon, your bowels. And the other lady above with 5 kids....no excuses....you owe it to your children to not be high. The no, trust me they know mommy is not herself. You. CAN do it. God is there for you.
