long-term hydrocodone use

[cyclesister]

What are the health effects of long-term use of hydrocodone for pain?

[marcatj]

for me, depression was one. a big one.

and loss of motivation.  and isolating.

and those are just a few...

Things like that are good to google as it is a long list...i cant think of any good side effects for using narcotics long term...just bad....if u r using 10 a day u have already built quite a tolerence and that is one of the downfalls to longterm use for pain...u reach a point where they just dont help anymore and u r just tearing up ur body, brain and pocketbook if u r buying them...the endorphins i ate up was one thing i regretted when i quit...they can be slow to come back and fatigue, depression and anxiety can linger....keep posting

i was taking 100-200 mg a day for 4 yrs. they have some really good stuff a GNC to help rebuild the damage the tyenol can cause!look under the health pages they have things there to help rebuild/restore all the damage ive done. i just had a physical last week and things went ok but the supplment do help i was luck just a small amount of dead tissue but this is the price of the addiction but i wont go there again. get a look at a scan slide then you will know where im coming from it woke me up fast!

I've been taking them for about 9 months now

I'm taking 10-325 so it looks like I could take up to 12 in a 24-hour period before worrying about liver damage

well, have you been doing that for years, months?  The toxic part of the hydro is tylenol mixed into it.  Over 4grams a day can cause liver &/or kidney damage.  the hydro is the addictive stuff, the tylenol causes the damage.  Unfortunately, when we are addicted, we don't care.  I take up to 50 10mg hydro's-don't even want to think of my liver!  

[cyclesister]

I've been taking 6-8 10mg hydro's per day.

how long term are you talking?  And, depends on the amount you use as well.
