You're are addicted if you abuse the drug. If you take more than is prescribed, you purchase them on the streets or take more than is prescribed by your doctor, you run out before your next prescription, you have to use it to get out of bed and function because without it you just want to sleep and are depressed. It may give you energy when you take this medication when you're addicted to it. Hope this helps and hope you find the help you need. Check out Suboxone.com and they can give you more information. If you think you're addicted you most likely are addicted. Get the proper help and go to rehab if you are addicted. Good luck to you. Feel free to contact me privately anytime and I will be happy to answer any of your questions. Good luck to you once again!

I find that too much is being made of addiction to hydrocodone. I've had to take this for several years straight at high doses, (Norco 10/325) 8/day. I stopped taking them abruptly, when i ran out too early and after 4 to 5 days of withdrawal symptoms, (worst on day 2-3), I was fine and stayed off them for over a year, until I exacerbated my back injury. You don't need rehab to get off of this drug.
Rehab is largely a money trap with the perfect sales pitch. If you admit your addicted to something, off you go to rehab. If you claim you are not addicted, YOU'RE IN DENIAL - and off to rehab, anyway.
I went to a rehab for health care professionals back in 1990 when I became best friends with spiced rum. I developed an inferiority complex from being forced to announce to all in ear shot, "Hi, I'm David and I'm an alcoholic."
Expand this post...
After the first 10 days, which were actually educational and interesting, I realized these people have nothing more to offer. I stayed the full 28 days, anyway. But I learned something important, that had indeed shot their full load after only 10 days. The rest was all repetitive and ego deflating.
Back when I went into rehab, I could put away 1.75 litres a day, every day. Even developed an appreciation for spiced rum on Cheerios. Well, guess what.
It turns out, I'M NOT AN ALCOHOLIC. One year after rehab, I went back to being a social drinker and never had an alcohol problem again. As it turns out, I can take it or leave it!!!
Oh, and about the higher power. Yes he is real. I call him Jesus Christ. And guess what else, when I took my supposed alcohol problem to Christ, in his own way, He told me, "Get a life, dude. Have you forgotten I gave you free will?"
My advise to you. Believe in your higher power, if you need incentive, realize how all this stuff called "life" sucks --- if there were no afterlife. And, also very important -- Suck it up and EXERCISE YOU FREE WILL TO PUT THE STUFF DOWN when you start to recognize that you are liking it too much.
Exercising free will in like putting your body on a treadmill. It's terrible at first, but it keeps getting better and better as you get stronger and stronger.
God Bless.
