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.

--- Just wondering what outpatient procedure you had that this medicine was prescribed and what the dosage was? Also, do you take meds for the bipolar disorder and did this doctor know this???Hope that you are doing better now.
