Brief Answer:
No, 6 days does not cause addiction.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HCM to post your question.

I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.

No, 6 days on Vicodin should not give withdrawal symptoms, but continuing more may start causing the addiction. Unless you have been a user of it before, and now are considering to restart..in this case, even one dose would cause symptoms.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarification. Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.

Brief Answer:
Not likely, but if its an option don't take it longer.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Every person is different. So the addiction may need more then one month to start, or sometime people take it for less then one month and still have it.
The most important factor of having fast addiction is how many are you taking/day, and also if you are taking it for the analgesic effect, or for the euforia effect. Because if you are taking it for the euforia effect, then you wont be able to stop it, because you would say "one more"

So 9 days are less likely to form addiction, but be careful for what you are taking it.

Let me know if any other question.
