Fluid retention is not a side effect of acetaminophen. I did look up hydrocodone side effects though - decreased urination is a side effect for about 10% of people on it. I don't think that's it either though. In any case, people usually lose weight on hydrocodone (but that's after a few weeks). Changed anything dietwise? Added creatine maybe? Different scale? It takes a lot to make 8lbs.

I believe you are taking Norcos, they have a fairly large amount of acetominophen content and cause the liver to stress. You may be experiencing some swelling in that organ. I would deff stay away from alcohol and any Tylenol type OTC meds.

Opiate pain meds won't normally cause water to load. One another note however they do cause a drop in test levels. Just a side note alot of people are unaware of.

This is a great point Lou. 👍
