Hi All,

Just fyi there is a study which you can find if you Google "hydrocodone" and "bipolar disorder" which links opiates -- and hydrocodone especially -- to manic/hypomanic episodes in those with bipolar disorder. A negligent doctor prescribed me hydrocodone after an outpatient procedure even though I had listed bipolar disorder as a condition I had. Over the next few weeks my life went totally haywire after 2+ years of stability.

In my opinion a bipolar person should never take hydrocodone.
