Hi all
This is my first post.
My name is JC and I am a 40 y/o male.
I am prescribed Hydro's (5/325) for chronic pain.
I have never took more than 3 pills in one day,but I know I am addicted because I will take them even if I have no pain.
If I take 3 pills spread out through the day,my nights are pretty rough.
When I close my eyes to go to sleep I have very crazy,uncontrolable thoughts.I also have trouble breathing sometimes.Sometimes I take 0.5mgs of xanax and it makes these symptoms go away and sometimes it does not help.
Could I be allergic to hydrocodone?
Has anyone here had these side effects with there pain meds?
Thanks,JC

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...


I'm not a doctor but, I don't think your "allergic" to this med I think it's just a side effect. How long have you been on hydro's? If your really taking 3 a day that isn't too bad, but if your taking them to get high then that can be a problem. Your tolerance to this med will slowly start to increase making it more and more difficult to obtain an Rx. Most Dr's don't like to "up" the dosage or pill quantity without there being red flags, You need to talk to your dr about finding a better treatment plan other then opiates. I know it's tough especially if you suffer from Chronic Pain. I too am a CP sufferer, I started out taking one vicoden a day, then after 4 years I got up to 160mg of oxycodone a day. And it didn't even take the edge off the pain. I'm now on Suboxone, helps with the opiate addiction, but not so much the Chronic pain anymore. Once your tolerance level gets high it never goes back down.
I think you are just having a side effect from this med, but I'm not a Dr so you may want to ask your Dr..

For your response.
I was told in another group that I should not be getting these side effects from (3) 5/325 hydro's spread out through the day.
I guess I should go back to the dr and let them know whats going on.
I would hate not to have anything for my pain,but I also do not want to be taking something that may do me harm.
Thanks
Good Luck!
I hope you talk to your doctor.
Better safe then sorry as they say

I can't say i feel 100 %,but I am glad to have the 15 days behind me.
I had to go to detox to do it.The withdrawls from the benzos were to much for me and i felt like I was going insane,so I spent 9 days in a detox.I am told that it takes a while to feel some what normal after benzo withdrawl.I feel like if like if I was able to make it through those first 5 or 6 days of hell I will be able to deal with any anxieties that I have in the future.
Thanks to all who have replied.
God Bless
