Over time, one can develop a physical and/or psychological dependence on hydrocodone, and any person who has used it for a certain length of time—whether as a patient or as an addict—may experience some uncomfortable hydrocodone withdrawal if the drug is ceased suddenly—one reason why health professionals do not recommend this.

Symptoms of hydrocodone withdrawal can appear as quickly as a few hours after the user’s last dose, or they not begin for a full day. They can include:

• Excessive sweating & yawning;
• Runny nose & eyes, bouts of diarrhea and vomiting;
• Shivering & goose bumps
• Muscle aches & cramps
• Restlessness & insomnia
• Irritability & anxiety
• Loss of appetite
• powerful cravings for the opioid that persist long after the withdrawal symptoms have passed.

Keep in mind that no two people endure hydrocodone withdrawal in precisely the same manner.

Additionally, while hydrocodone addiction is widespread and on the rise, the vast majority of patients who take the medication, even over prolonged periods of time, do not become dependent. Addiction is a complicated disease, woven together by a variety of influential factors—personal drug history, genetics, environment, mental health and more. To be safe, it is best to discuss these factors with your health care professional prior to being prescribed hydrocodone.
