11. 100 mg of hydrocodone is a pretty serious amount. I've taken it in much smaller doses.

It's a Schedule III drug and not as strong as the oxycodone (Schedule II) I'm on now. I don't consider it a good high. It just takes away the pain. But 100 mg is a shitload of either. It's not just an altered state, it's tripped out to the point of incoherency. And no, the hallucinations are not rare - they're normal. That's the main reason I don't like having to take it. Both are in the "don't even THINK about driving" category.
