There is no cap on what a maximum dose of hydrocodone could be......it all depends on your doctor's willingness to up the dose, your pain tolerance, activity level , etc.

There is no magic formula either for "6" hydrocodone for RSD for 1 extremity, OxyContin for 2 extremities, Fentynal patch for whole body, etc Every patient is different.

I will say that Hydrocodone 10 mg/Tylenol 325 mg has only ever lasted me 4 hours, never 6 . Normal dosing is for every 4 hours.

There are no dumb questions when it comes to meds.

I'd also caution you that comments like "Some Chronic pain people aren't even doing that ?? They sometimes just think disability is the way to go.. anyhow thanks for the info.. " can really offend people. I am on disability now and I've give anything to be able to work again. I'm still hopeful it will happen once WC approves tx for my RSD

We are all just trying to struggle along having this crappy condition
