How to use Hydrocodone GF Oral
This medication may cause dependence, especially if it has been used regularly for an extended time or if it has been used in high doses. In such cases, if you suddenly stop this drug, withdrawal reactions may occur. Such reactions can include runny nose, sweating, restlessness, widened pupils, loss of appetite, goose bumps, irritability, and shakiness. Fast heartbeat and muscle/bone pain may also occur. Report any such reactions to your doctor immediately. When stopping extended, regular treatment with this drug, gradually reducing the dosage as directed will help prevent withdrawal reactions. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
Though it is very unlikely to occur, this medication can also result in abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction/habit forming). Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently or use it for a longer time than prescribed. Properly stop the medication when so directed. This will lessen the chances of becoming addicted....
I cut and pasted this from a site about Vicodin...the part that makes me laugh is the last paragraph....'THOUGH IT IS VERY UNLIKELY TO OCCUR.....'
Who writes this stuff? IT IS EXTREMELY likely that addiction may occur, as we all know to well....
They got the withdrawal symptoms right on though!

TOOOOOOOO FUNNY! Like I said, WHO actually writes those observations? Obviously someone who never took vicodin before....lol
Make them pay for the **** were going through. It could be done just like the people that bunched up and sued the cigarette companys it worked. Hmmmmmmm.
I remember seeing the ad thinking I could do that - then thinking - no - I'm the one taking - why ruin it for the folks who need it. Also, that meant I had to come clean in front of family - and I could never do that!
ANYWAY - I don't know if anything ever came of it - except for it being harder on the docs to prescribe.

Good luck,

Tylonolyd works best for me for a headache, the advil does better for my back. Good luck to you and you should post a question so it will go to the top for better advice than I can give. There are some nurses on here that can help.
