My 93 year old Mother is taking hydrocodine (Norco) and she has since Aug 1, and she had a stent removed and the basket procedure for a kidney stone a week ago. She is worried she may be addicted to this drug, as ie helps her to sleep. She is not taking more than the presccibed dose. Could she become addicted
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. The chances of developing addiction at the prescribed dose is very less....though it can't be completely ruled out... Ask your doctor as to how long he wants to continue that...after its stopped...she can take sleeping pills if needed...
