Be careful.  That's the exact script that I was taking for sciatic pain that got me into trouble and let to worse things.  It was the first hook that got me started.  As far as harm, if you're doing it through a Dr  then he should be giving you liver test etc..  If there's a problen physically then it will show up there.

It depends on a few factors.. Are you taking these legaly from a DR?  What do you need them for?

I used to take around 25-30 of the 10mg hydrocodone(vics-lortabs)whatever.  Then it got to the point that they didnt do anything but keep me from getting sick, so then it was on to oxycodone.  You are on these for a relativley short period compared to other addicts, but if you want to have a normal life without the addiction you neede to ask the DR to help you get off these pills ASAP!

yes. unless it is for pain (real pain, not "kinda" pain) and you are taking it per docs instructions. even then it's a slippery slope...if you have long term pain, then you might try some alternative pain management. there's lots on the internet about those methods.

get off them asap. if you are going to go cold turkey, then i suggest you ask your doc how to do it. if not a doc, then ask some others on this board how they did it. there's always a risk of seizures with cold turkey off lortab.

good luck,
