One of my friends has been addicted for several years, but decided to detox this past weekend (say a prayer that he won’t relapse). He said that he could have had liver and heart problems if he would have kept taking them.

What actually happens to the liver as a result of hydrocodone use? How does the person know they have liver problems as a result of the hydrocodone use?

    It’s the acetaminophen used with the hydrocodone that does the real damage. Unless your friend has a source for pharmacy compounded pure hydrocodone.

    And there are plenty of people who have died in their 20’s from liver failure due to recreational addiction to pain killers containing hydrocodone.
