Thank you for all of this information. I will ask when I meet with my pain mgt dr next week. My gastro dr thinks the Hydro is causing my nausea and lack of appetite. I have lost 15 pounds and am having a difficult time gaining needed weight to support the back surgery.

I've taken hydrocodone for 20+ years. I've gone from every 4 hours to every 6 hours and now I'm at every 7 hours. Try spacing them out instead of stopping all together. I could not function without it so I just tried to find what still works just taking less often. I guess if I wanted to stop all together, I'd go to ever 8 hours for a while then 9 and so on until I could maybe half them and start again....4,6,7,8,9 hours. I do know that in the past, if I take them too close together, I get nauseated.
