Several years ago I was in a terrible auto accident, broke my back and fractured my neck. Surgery was required and I now have titanium rods the length of my spine. My T-9 vertebrae was crushed and required a bone graft to repair. As a result I have chronic pain in my back, neck and hip. My Dr. prescribed Hydrocodone for pain and it does work well, however; the side effects are not pleasant. I find it makes me very hyper, agitated, irritable and kills my appetite. I certainly am not complaining about the appetite but the speeding effect is frightening. Just curious whether anyone has had the same reaction to this drug? I need the pain relief but the side effects are making my life miserable. I haven't found my symptoms listed as possible side effects.
