The non-impairing dosage of hydrocodone is strongly dependent upon opioid tolerance and to a lesser extent individual biochemistry. A common starting dose of hydrocodone for pain management is 5mg every six hours. This dose would likely cause some degree (usually mild to moderate) of impairment in opioid-naive individuals. Someone who has a tolerance would likely not be impaired by this dose.
Individuals who have taken opioids for long periods of time can take hundreds of milligrams per day and still be completely functional, although these doses could easily kill an opioid naive person. The general rule of opioid dosing is start low and gradually titrate the dose upwards. Finally, it is very important that this medication is not mixed with other opioids or depressants, as these combinations can vastly lower the safe dose and increase the risk of overdose.
As the prescription bottle states, "Do not drive or operate machinery (or do anything else dangerous) until you know how this medication will affect you."
2teaspoons?
how many days does it take for hydrocodone to leave the body?
Hydrocodone is an extract of codeine, so they are the same. You just have to take more hydrocodone
No
none you shuoldnt take any opiate with methadone.
No, because Vicodin contains hydrocodone plus acetaminophen.

1 tsp. tussionex has 10mg (.01g) hydrocodone, which is the equivilent of 2 vicodin. I don't know how much chlorpheniramine is in one tsp. NOT EXACTLY TRUE. One teaspoon does contain the equivalent of 2 vicodin of hydrocodone; however, in Tussionex, the hydrocodone is released over a period of 12 hours. Therefore, over 12 hours, 10 mg of hydrocodone is released. If you were to take 2 vicodin, you'd have 10mg of hydrocodone released immediately and when you take 2 more in 4 more hours, you'd have a total of 20 mg of hydrocodone released. With Tussionex, in that same 8 hours, you will have only realized 8mg of hydrocodone. It's the time release that causes the changes....
I believe that you might have bigger problems than hydrocodone, your liver would shut down from aspirin overdose before you would die from the hydrocodone, it would take alot
You should not take naproxen 500mg and hydrocodone acetaminophen together for pleurisy. Only take the medicines your doctor prescribes.
can you fail a drug test if you take hydrocodone and oxycodone at the same time
Absolutely.
