An effect on what? First of all there is no 500mg hydrocodone. There is 5mg hydrocodone to 500 mg of acetaminophen (Tylenol). You have to look at both numbers. The first number 5mg/500mg in the series is the amount of hydrocodone and the second one is the amount of acetaminophen. Look at a bottle of Tylenol and you will see if it's extra strength the dose per tablet is 500mg. I'm giving you a link that shows the different doses of hydrocodone. If they even made 500mg of hydrocodone the patient would be overdosed. The 500mg is the amount of acetaminophen also known as Tylenol. Hydrocodone comes in 5mg, 7.5mg, and 10mg. Also depending on what you are taking it for and if you have never taken a narcotic will determine how well it works. Hydrocodone is a generic name of the narcotic and brand names include, vicodin, norco, Lorcet, etc... as you will see at the link. Also it should only be taken if prescribed by a doctor to treat a certain condition. If it was not prescribed to you for something you are asking about taking it for then you should not be taking it. Don't try to be your own doctor. If you have pain that bad that is not relieved with over the counter meds like Advil or tylenol then you can see a doctor who can prescribe the right amount of pain medicine. Some patients require less amount and some require more of another pain med depending on what it's being given for. For example....A 5mg/ 500mg of hydrocodone would not be effective for severe pain due to a woman in labor or someone who has a fractured femur. Tylenol #3 which has codeine could be given for a person who broke their arm while while in other patients who are recovering from major surgery would require morphine. Please be very careful because it sounds like you're trying to take it for something that a doctor has not prescribed it for. Morphine or Demerol can also be given if a condition warrants it.

Mom of 3, Hysterectomy at 29, Former paramedic, I've take hydrocodone in doses of 5mg, 7.5mg and 10mg. The second number is the amount of acetaminophen aka Tylenol.



^^ all of that is great info...best answer to it. but i'd like say, that yes you'd prob feel the 5mg of hydro, considering you are prob having NO pain...and by the sound of the q you've never had an opiate before. if you are having pain go to the doc, and put the pill down...bc it's a Path you DONT want to go down. choice is all yours..have fun but always. be safe



It should ease your physical pain. That's what it is designed to do.
