Hi and welcome to HCM

Detailed Answer:
This wasnt smart thing to do,but fortunately it shouldnt cause serious consequances. You will probably be very sleepy in next 24 hoursr,but seious side effects usually happens within 1-2 hours after taking hydrocodone. so if you feel good now, you shouldnt be worse later. Just drink plenty pf fluids in next 12 hours and rest. If you have breathing difficulites you should see ER. Wish you good health. Regards
