when u take alot of them the acetominiphin causes liver damage, over time
I know that large quantities cause liver damage over a lang period of time. I also know that 1lb of bacon a day will cause heart disease. I have read many ask a doctor sites and have had several physicians give me medical advic eabout the amount and length of tie it would take to cause liver damage and I am no where in that group. I take mine as prescribed and never anymore. I take so many medications for various ailments that I have to stay on top of the side effects. I have just heard so much misinformation about them on here, it is enough to scare anyone off a medication that htey may really need. I have chronic illness that makes it mecially neccessary for me to take Hydrocodone. I am not a drug addict because I take pain pills on a daily basis. I see people on here that say they take 1/2 of a 5/500 and I think to myslef WOW! These people must think people who take 6 daily as allowed and prescribed are real addicts.LOL!
there is a difference between addiction and dependence,,,,if you take 6 a day for any length of time you will be dependent...when you take more than you need for pain to get that feeling you have crossed over to addiction. only you know if you really have to take for pain or if you just say you have the pain to justify taking them, thus being an addict.
sorry, i was just commenting on your post, was not trying to turn you into anything, was just stating the difference. i was not directing it at you. sorry i offended you. thats not my nature.

One of the side effects from all the companies that make hydrocodone is headache.
Do you think drug addicts care which company makes it.
