About Vicodin (Hydrocodone) Use & Addiction

Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid created from codeine that is used to treat moderate to severe pain. It is often formulated with other medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen and administered for analgesia or as a cough suppressant.

Branded as things like Vicodin, Norco, or Lortab, hydrocodone is powerfully addictive and even when used infrequently, can lead to hydrocodone abuse. According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, more than 24 million people over the age of 12 have used the drug for non-medical reasons.

Since 1992, the recreational use of opioids has tripled and 99 percent of the hydrocodone supply is consumed by those in the U.S. Unfortunately, teens are one of the largest groups of individuals to develop a Norco addiction; in a 2013 survey, more than 850,000 teens aged 12-17 admitted abusing a hydrocodone product.

Many different prescription medications contain the synthetic opiate Hydrocodone, including those listed below. They are all used for the same purpose – as pain medicine – and all carry the same effects of dependence from long-term use.

Vicodin
Norco
Lortab
Lorcet
Vicoprofen

The Dangers of Vicodin (Hydrocodone)

Symptoms

Like other painkillers, hydrocodone can not only block the feeling of pain but can also produce a high in those who use the drug, leading to hydrocodone addiction.

Because users often develop a tolerance to painkillers, it’s easy to experience Norco abuse. This means many of those taking Norco for its euphoric effects will continually increase their dosage to achieve the same effects.

Some common symptoms include:

A heightened sense of well-being
Overall relaxation
A state of euphoria
Reduced worry or stress
Sedation
A warming sensation

Dangers & Effects of Vicodin (Hydrocodone) Use

Over time, regular use of Vicodin can create a tolerance in the body that requires the user to take more in order to achieve the same effect. This is how dependence is created and what leads individuals to seek hydrocodone recovery.

Short-term effects include:

Slowed or shallow breathing
Itchy or flushed skin
Constipation
Nausea
Dry mouth
Confusion or poor judgment
Drowsiness

Long-term effects include:

Tremors or spasms
Swelling in hands or feet
Anxiety
Increased risk of heart problems
Muscle weakness
Sleep issues
Respiratory depression
Bladder and/or bowel issues

Withdrawal Symptoms from Vicodin (Hydrocodone) Use

Once a person is addicted to hydrocodone, it can be extremely difficult to stop. Once they do, they may experience withdrawal symptoms within 72 hours that can last up to six weeks. This is why we recommend Norco withdrawal help.

When someone is dependent on it and suddenly removes it, their body begins to overwork itself in order to recover and they may experience symptoms such as:

Body aches
Diarrhea
Mental health issues like anxiety or depression
Sweating and/or shivering
Hallucinations
Nausea and/or vomiting
Fatigue
