"- Hydrocodone

Anti-cough agent and painkiller similar to morphine. Side effects include anxiety, poor mental performance, emotional dependence, drowsiness, mood changes, difficulty breathing and itchiness."


So much for accuracy in media. I took Hydrocodone for 6 months for pain after two surgeries. It is commonly known as "Percocet". These people are trying to make it sound like he shot up or drank cough syrup every day. This story is so disgusting, I can't see straight.

Nope. Percocet is oxycodone, a similar but different drug. Hydrocodone is the generic for Vicodin. Having had Vicodin before for pain, I can see where it might be addictive...the stuff screws you up pretty good, and like all opiate derivatives, it is pretty addictive.
