I agree, if you're prescribed this medication, there is no problem with it. I've been taking Hydrocodone everyday for 3 years now to treat chronic pain. I have had no addiction problems and never felt "high" If you are in pain and need it, there is no problem. You taking 2.5/250 is no big deal. If you are prescribed the medication, just make sure and take it as prescribed. If you take more of course you could face addictioin. If you take less, it won't treat your pain adequately and that is just as bad. I learned that the hard way and now I take it daily. Good luck.

There are so many ridiculous people on here freaking out when people mention anything to do with pain meds. If you take them as perscribed you'll be fine. We need to fight the ignorance and the lack of understanding medications, not freak out and not be understanding of people in pain. (this wasnt directed to this post, but all of Answers as a whole)
But......anyways you took half of the pill and will therefore recieve half of the medication. 2.5/250.
(its spelled vicodin)

That's 1/2 strength, so no it wouldn't act the same way.

No cause you only took 2.5mg of hydrocodone. they are only 5mg..It won't hurt to take a whole one.
