If you suddenly stop taking hydrocodone, withdrawal symptoms may occur because your body becomes accustomed to the effects of the narcotic over time. Withdrawal is a normal, predictable, physical response to stopping medications like hydrocodone; it is not necessarily a sign of abuse. Potential symptoms of withdrawal include goosebumps, shakiness, diarrhea, and nausea. In order to limit withdrawal, you should not stop taking this drug "cold turkey."
