Hydrocodone is weak! You only become addicted if you abuse them to begin with. They don't make you feel anything but pain free if used properly. People act the same on pain killers as they do when they aren't on them.

Hydrocodone better known as Vicodin, Ricocet and Vicoprofen.
Excellent if used as prescribed for pain. If you are not in pain DON'T TAKE THEM!!
They can make you feel euphoric, dizzy, warm and sweaty and can cause you to have an upset stomach. And yes, it can also make you "feel good" but it's not worth the potential of becoming addicted; both physically and psychologically.
I you really want to get high you might as well go after the good stuff....Dilaudid or hydromorphone. It is a schedule II narcotic which has been called the closest thing to heroin legally available in the USA. It is stronger than morphine, Demerol and all the rest. My mother was on it during the last few months of her dying of brain, lung and vaginal cancer.
When she was on it back in 1987, the 2mg tablets (the came in 1,2,3 & 4mg tabs) had a street value of $25.00 or more EACH. And they were the size of a pencil eraser...but only half the size.
Again...no matter what people may tell you, the potential for addiction for any scheduled drug (Class II, II, IV & V) even Tylenol #3, Valium, Vicodin and now especially Xanax is not worth the momentary good feeling you might get. By the way, there is a scheduled Class I drug but they are illegal in the USA. They include heroin, PCP and the like.

I am currently on hydrocodone which is the generic version of Norco. I am actually in pain so I can only speak from my experience. If I take the meds as prescibed they make me a little drowsy. I usually sweat as they seem to make me hot. They cut right through the pain. If I double my prescribed amount, which would be four pills, then it does make me very itchy and irratable. For the first hour or two I stay wide awake and cannot sit still. But then I fall out and go to sleep.
If I were not in pain I would imagine that this drug would be pretty powerful. I know you should not take with alcohol. I have been on it since January and it does not seem to have any addictive qualities. It is supposed to be less narcotic than vicodin and is prescibed to people who have had prior addiction problems because it is supposed to be less addictive.

It's easy enough to get hooked on pain killers because they make a person feel relaxed all over. This is especially true of painkillers like hydrocodone. Hydrocodone is like a synthetic morphine. I have to take it for pain control so I will say that people who do not need it - or any other pain killer - should stay away from it. Period. The End.

i am a recovering addict, i started out with hydros. i was taking 90 mgs at a time 3 and 4 times a day. if the person can get through the vomiting it is very easy to become addicted. and if the person is already addicted, then the vomiting is welcomed because it makes you higher. abusing this drug is very dangerous, i took it everyday for 7 years and my doctor recently told me that i have hydro heart. which is massive amounts of scar tissue. he said that he has known people who have had several heart attacks who have healthier hearts than i do. as for the way someone acts, im sure it varys with each person. i was usually upbeat for a couple hours after i took them. then i would get pretty nasty. but i would upbeat again after i vomited. its a sad cycle and it only gets worse the longer it goes on.
