Emergency, Hydrocodine?? - Drug Interactions / Side Effects Message Board

jiwfy · 03-09-2002, 12:10 AM

My ex boyfriend strugles severely with depression and is, therefore, also suicidal. He sent me an email saying that he has taken several hydrocodine pills as well as several other pills. I know that he has recently been taking lots of sleeping pills too. I need to know, as soon as possible, what hydrocodine is and how lethal it is. Please, can somebody help me??

I beleive that is the generic for vicodin. Yes it is lethal in large doses. Hopefully by now things have straightened out.

Also known as Lortab, it is very addictive. Watch him closely.

Hydrocodone is frequently used in combination with Tylenol. For example, each tablet of Lortab has 500 mg of Tylenol. Each tablet of Vicodin can have 500 or even 750 mg of Tylenol. Taking more tham 4000 mg of Tylenol over 24 hours may seriously damage the liver and requires emergency treatment with Mucomyst.
