Debra V.

I was so much like that. Always trying to remember which pills I

needed to take now. I finally said enough was enough and decided to

come off all but what was absolutely necessary. I now only take

insulin and Relafen.

All the medication combined actually made me suicidal. I went

inpatient in the hospital because I was on large doses of fentanyl

and morphine and that was the only way to come off. I live with so

much pain every day but I have my life back! I have learned to use

other ways of dealing with the pain, stretching, warm baths,

meditation, anything but the meds again. I know a lot of people

cannot deal with the pain but I like knowing what I am doing and not

being spaced out anymore. Have you tried alternatives to medications?

Hydrocodone in a 5/500 pill contains:

5mg of codeine - pain reliever

500mg of acetaminophen - an anti-inflammatory

Hydrocodone is habit-forming, and can lead to physical and

psychological addiction, (run out of your prescription and you will

eat shirt buttons) addiction varies depending on unique biological

differences.

Hydrocodone pills contain acetaminophen, consuming more than 4,000

milligrams (8 pills) of acetaminophen a day can cause liver damage,

jaundice, and even liver failure if it is taken in excessive doses for

an extended period of time.

Drinking alcohol while taking Hydrocodone can cause serious damage to

the liver, kidneys, and stomach wall.
