Re: What do you do when the hydro quits working?

Everybody builds up tolerance to hydrocodone and other opiates/opioids eventually, it's inevitable. You gradually need more of the med to get the same result.

This it the reason there is so much discussion of "Hydro Holidays" here on the boards. Many of us start to feel uncomfortable with the quantity of hydro and APAP we have to take. And the "holiday" can have the effect of getting the tolerance to drop back to a level where the medication is effective again.

Have you tried taking a break? If you are not familiar with how to manage a hydro holiday, do a search in All Forums and you should find plenty of threads on the subject, full of personal experiences and good advice.

Your other option would seem to be going on to a stronger analgesic like Oxycodone. And for that you need a doctor. You cannot find anything stronger than hydro from any reliable OP.
