Yes, the hydrocodone is still working the same as it was - however it's not a miracle treatment. I still have a chronic low-grade depression and some days I have some pretty low moods. Right now I'm having a tough time at work and with my social life - stuff that I'm working with my therapist to sort out.
BTW- I responded to one of your other posts regarding opiates on here and I didn't want you to think I was attacking you or your opinions. Sometimes things get lost in translation.
Thanks again for being there!!!
Jerry
