I recently (Tuesday) got two teeth removed and they prescribed hydrocodone for the pain. But, I feel so calm after I take it, I've begun to take them just to calm down. I won't even be in pain, but I feel a panic attack coming and I took two and felt a whole lot better. I know I shouldn't be doing this but I can't stop. Advice..?

I have done the same thing. Hydrocodone is like a miracle for depression and anxiety in my book. However it is not a good idea at all. For me even though I was taking it when not in pain to feel better I knew that I had only a small supply and once the script ran out that was it. I was not going to go looking for more either legally or illegally. The risks are way to high and opiate addiction would make my depression and anxiety that much worse.

I wouldn't think they gave you to much because they pain goes away pretty quickly after a tooth is removed. Just don't get anymore.
