Hydrocodone symptoms As a schedule III, hydrocodone is more vulnerable to abuse. Unlike schedule II’s such as oxycodone, physicians have far more flexibility when it comes to prescribing hydrocodone; they can write prescriptions for more than a month’s supply, the script can include refills, and refill requests can be filled by fax and phone. These factors facilitate treatment but also facilitate abuse.

Hydrocodone Symptoms are fundamentally no different from those that accompany the abuse of any opioid, such as:

Disobeying the prescription orders as written by the doctor. This might mean taking pills for reasons not prescribed (for sleep, for relaxation, to get high etc) or taking them more frequently than the prescription dictates, causing them to run out sooner than expected. In these events, the patient should consult his prescribing doctor

Aggressive drug-seeking behavior like doctor-shopping. An addict or abuser seeking hydrocodone prescriptions would go from one doctor to another complaining of whatever malady he thinks will earn him hydrocodone from the physician.

Frequent periods of illness and irritability. Opioid dependence and withdrawal can make a person ill for a day or two until they can find more, which restores them to seeming normalcy until they run out again.

It is important to note that because hydrocodone is most frequently encountered in combination with acetaminophen, abusing it carries an additional risk of potentially fatal liver toxicity . If you, or someone you know, exhibits hydrocodone symptoms please consult a physician immediately.
