What is Hydrocodone?
Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic derivative of the opiates, codeine and thebaine. It is administered to patients to help them manage mild to moderate pain. It is manufactured under a number of trade names including Vicodin, Lortab, Norco and many others.
Hydrocodone is a highly-addictive narcotic analgesic that can quickly become habit-forming. When an individual develops an addiction to hydrocodone, they will usually suffer from severe hydrocodone withdrawal symptoms sometimes before their next dose is even administered.
Understanding Hydrocodone Withdrawal
Hydrocodone addiction not only causes a number of psychological symptoms, but abrupt discontinuation of the drug can often result in seizures or convulsions. That is why you should not stop using hydrocodone without the help of a professional, medically-based detox center.
Other symptoms of hydrocodone withdrawal can include:
- Bone or muscle pain
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Irritability
- Insomnia
- Restlessness
- Chills
- Intense cravings for the drug
- Fevers
- Runny eyes and/or nose
- Dilated pupils
