1.25 mg hydrocodone

That's the most I've taken. Not to get high, but for pain from a really bad headache. I have OCD, and I did not want to get addicted. At the longest, it was two weeks, and I never took it two days in a row.

I'm scared that I'm in withdrawal, and I'm wondering if it's possible. I ran a fever about 2 days since my last dose, and had such intense anxiety and pain that I took 0.625 mg (worried that I was in withdrawal). It helped.

Today I had a migraine with dizziness and nausea, and took Midrin. It calmed me down, but didn't really help with the headache, and I had to stay in a dark room.

Anyways, my question is whether such a low dose is possible to be in addiction. The other possiblities are a stomach virus that is going around, and the fact that I went almost cold turkey from Klonopin .5 mg t.i.d a little more than a year ago and have still had effects from that (but fever is not a symptom of that.) And, of course, as I mentioned, I have OCD.

And if I am dependent, is the withdrawal likely to be as bad as I've hear--being depressed for months?

If that is indeed the dose you are taking then I can not possibly imagine that you are having withdrawals from that tiny dose. Perhaps mentally you have fixated on it and are allowing yourself to think the worst. I know where you are coming from because I had the same issue, except it was with Klonopin. I was taking .125 to .25 mgs for a period of time just to make sure I was not going to have withdrawal. In retrospect, it was durab because I was just worrying myself into having withdrawals and was only taking the Klonopin to not have withdrawals. Your mind can be so powerful and make you think and do some silly things.
