i don't get high. it just helps with the pain. one day while waiting to see my doc i took a pill. another woman said "you're going to drive"?

many years ago when i was prescribed this drug for dental work and/or surgery i did feel it and i didn't like the way i felt. had a root canal last month and the dentist prescribed 800 mg of ibuprofen. i did need a prescription. i said "i'm taking hydrocodone". he said "they work well together".

i've also heard that these drugs are not addicting if you're taking them for pain, but i don't believe it.
