Opioids avoiding hydrocodone addiction

[Deleted member 137730]

If i keep the dose of hydrocodone at 15mg-20mg or less per day spread out can i avoid any real WD's?

You will get withdrawals no matter what the dosing if you are on it for a long time, but the lower the dose, the easier the withdrawal.

Yeah, the withdrawal's aren't as much a side effect from the dosages, as much as the frequency of use. You can become psychically dependent on a very small dosage of opiates if you take them everyday for a while.

Yes, at any dose really dependence can ensue, and addiction is often accompanying it. The wd's might be far less severe, as mentioned, however they will still be there to some extent if you discontinue a regimen of opiates.

per day ?

This is where you went wrong.
