How often would you have to take Hydrocodone before you would become dependent on it? I take one pill in the evening before bedtime for knee pain.

If you were taking it every day, yes you may become dependent on it, even if it is just one pill. I can't give you a time frame, because it varies from person to person, but your body can become dependent on anything that you take on a regular basis for a long period of time.

It should be noted, however, that there is a difference between dependence and addiction, addiction only occurs if you're abusing a medication and keep taking more and more of it, because you like how it makes you feel. This is the problem that cause dangerous types of withdrawals.

If you are dependent on something, there can be withdrawal effects, but they are usually mild and don't last for a very long time.

I've been on hydrocodiene for a long time but I only use it once in awhile for back pain. I'm elderly and only weigh 87lbs so I only take half a pill and only when my back hurts, Have always been afraid I might get addicted to it. A prescription lasts me for ages so my Dr. knows I only use it when necessary but I'm sure glad to have it.
