Is it normal to have a "loaded" feeling after taking Hydrocodone?

Question

I have been taking Hydrocodone for pain. The frist time i took it I felt sick so I stop, but a friend told me that I should eat before taking it and I wouldn't feel like that anymore. The other day I took one at 9am and another at 2:30pm after the second one I felt funny. My husband said that I was laughing and talking to myself. Is this normal?

Answer 1

You may want to revisit a smaller dosage...but yeah, Vicodin makes you feel like you are on drugs- because you are.

Answer 2

Cheyana,

Yes, that's normal. Hydrocodone contains a significant amount of codeine, which is a narcotic. And most narcotics can produce queasiness if taken on an empty stomach. You may also experience some constipation due to the overall sedative effect.

I hope your pain subsides soon.

Answer 3

Yeah its a morphine derivative so you can feel funny. Something in your stomach will help. It sounds like you dont need to take so much. Id maybe do a half a pill for the second one, if your in pain still.
