Hydrocodone 10/325 Dosing

Updated

Hi, I'm a 27 year old male with 2 thoracic disc protrusions, 1 lumbar protrusion, also have facet disease through entire spine. Also cord impingement in both of the thoracic disc areas. My question is that I'm currently on three 10/325 hydrocodone a day, but I'm finding im needing more than the 3 a day to manage my pain. Is it possible or safe to take 4-5 of these a day? I've been on hydrocodone for 3 years now and at most I only get about an hour of relief from my current dose.

Hello, Justin! How are you?

The main concern is actually the Acetaminophen that's in them, taking too much of it in a day can result in overdose toxicity, which could lead to liver damage, failure or even death.

4 or 5 of them in a day isn't an unreasonable dose, but only your doctor can decide if it's safe for you to take that many. They may even prefer prescribing a different medication to control your pain that doesn't have Acetaminophen in it.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?

You need to talk to your dr about maybe prescribing another pain medication.
