Lorcet

Lorcet is a prescription brand that contains hydrocodone and Lorcet is very similar to Vicodin and Lortab. Lorcet is used to relieve pain by combining Tylenol and hydrocodone. The appearance of hydrocodone makes Lorcet a narcotic and is susceptible to addiction. The hydrocodone found in Lorcet is very similar to heroin and more powerful dose for dose than morphine. Lorcet is prescribed by doctors for pain but is carefully watched because of the high risk for addiction even after a single prescription.

Lorcet is an opioid that works on the brain and pain receptors to block pain. The body has opioid receptors and when Lorcet is taken it attaches itself to these receptors and blocks pain transmission. When Lorcet is taken the user will feel drowsy and sluggish. Nausea and weakness is also a common side effect of taking Lorcet as is lack of mental focus, dry-mouth, constipation and slowed breathing. Much like morphine or heroin, Lorcet also triggers the brains reward system and the user can feel euphoria that can often lead to psychological dependence on Lorcet.

If you find that you began taking Lorcet as prescribed to treat an injury from an accident or chronic pain and feel like the drug has taken over your life, you are probably suffering from physiological and psychological dependence. Lorcet addiction can be described as needing the drug beyond the original physical symptoms. If the pain is worse than when you started taking the drug or you suffer from withdrawal symptoms such as severe flu-like aches and pains when you try to cut down on the amount you take these can be indications of addiction.

Addiction is recognized as a disease and can be brought on by continuous use by those who are susceptible to addiction due to genetic or environmental influences.
