It can cause nausea, vomiting, redness and headaches to name a few side effects. It is addictive and a tolerance to its effectiveness can build quickly.

OD amount....as long as you take it as prescribed there shouldn't be a problem. You can always check the PDR if you want the LD...Lethal Dose.

It can be very dangerous....addiction and death dangerous.

Hydrocodone is am imensly powerful drug. It is a derrivative of codeine and hence probably highly addictive if misused.

Being drowsy, tired, lack of attention are some obvious side effects. If you want to know detailed affects pick up a physicians desk manual and it will tell you.

if you "use" according to the doctors orders to manage pain i doubt there will be any effects. But to use hydrocodone, brand name Vicoden, reacreationally or often and continuously it is very dangerous. It will probably fry your brain, liver, and lots of other things...... as for OD, dont worry about oding if your following the directed dosage. OD amounts depend on body weight, height, sex, tolerance, genetics excetera...... excetera.

If you have a habit I highly suggest getting help or it will ruin your life

It is habit forming. It is possible to become physically and/or psychologically dependent on the medication

If you are taking Hydrocodone, you should be under a doctors care and you should ask him/her this question.

Hydrocodone is a semisynthetic narcotic. It can produce constipation, stomach upset, poor balance, drowsiness, insomnia, kidney problems, and so on.
OD levels vary by person, but it can induce coma or kill you if you do od.
ALL narcotics are very dangerous.

Hydrocodone works more to make you handle the pain, than taking away the pain. It's a narcotic, and therefore, very addictive. Never take it other than the way it is prescribed.

severe mood swings, lack of energy as your immune systems adapts to your dosesages you become fatigue and usually increase dose, to compensate muscle fatigue that can be confused with actual pain. You will find you become constipated change in bowel movements, too much could damage your liver & kidneys over time.
