no problem. the standard dose is 1-2 tabs every 6 hours. The only thing to worry about is that some small people could get some nausea. The most dangerous component in the drug is the tylenol, which is going to be 325 - 500 mg per tab. Even at 1000 mg you are safe unless you weigh less than 75 pounds. I practice pain management, so you can trust what I say. You may have some itching, but it is not a big problem. if it bothers you much, take 25mg benadryl. hope you get better

The pill cannot tell where it is supposed to go. It simply dulls the pain. Usually your facial area responds pretty quick to this med. It is not a good idea to overmedicate, but 2 tabs won't do you any damage. Go take a nap, relax while you have no pain.

Taking 20 mg of hydrocodone is not an overdose. Maybe your system is sensitive to the medication, and this is causing a side effect.

your effect is the first pill still increasing its release while the second one is begining its release. this will be momentary and as the first one become full disolved the multiplier effect will fade. while your self increased dosage is not recommended, you are far from an OD and at little risk of harm. calm down, relax, and the strageness will pass. I will not say how much is an OD because I don't know who will read this, but you are going to be fine.

It is coming from your muscles relaxing. Make sure you are only taking what is prescribed and only every 4 to 6 hours.
This drug can become addictive so you do not want to use any more than you absolutely need to, to control your pain.
And as soon as you can manage it on your own. Stop taking them

I take four a day every day and I take them at the same time. No problem. Been taking them for two years now.
So not to worry. !!
Your problem is from something else going on. OK ?
Good luck. !

Yeah, that's not too much. Hydros side effects usually are constipation and stomach irritation. Strange,but,they make my nose itch. Hope your shoulder gets better!
