How long does it take to become addicted to hydrocodone?
I usually post in the alcoholism section, but I just had surgery today and was given a prescription for Norco, which is like Vicodin (hydrocodone and acetaminophen).
I'm generally not into pills; my husband has an Rx for Vicodin for back pain and I've never been tempted to take one of those. But I am concerned about being on these pills for pain for more than a few days and becoming addicted. I've already had addictions to nicotine and alcohol that I've had to deal with, so I'm not eager to put another monkey on my back, but I don't want to be in a lot of pain, either.
He's given me enough to roughly last a week. Is a week enough time to become dependent?
