Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Hydrocodone is a Schedule II controlled substance tightly regulated by the FDA. An ER will not prescribe narcotics. You will need to contact your prescribing doctor who can fax a prescription to a pharmacy in your current state. You cannot have a heart attack from withdrawal, so don't worry about this.
