Hydrocodone
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history

Hydocodone is an opiod drug used for pain.[1][2]
Theory[edit | edit source]
Evidence[edit | edit source]
No clinical trials have been conducted for hydrocodone in ME/CFS patients.
ME/CFS[edit | edit source]
The International Consensus Criteria Primer for physicians and Canadian Consensus Criteria both state that opioids like codeine should only be used for severe pain, and with a management plan in place. No particular opioids are suggested.[3][4]
Clinicians[edit | edit source]
Risks and safety[edit | edit source]
The Royal College of Anaesthetists states that opioids, including codeine, rarely result in addiction when taken by people in pain, but they can become less effective over time (opioid tolerance), dependency may develop, and withdrawal effects can occur when opiods are stopped or doses are decreased.[2]
