 5  Fibromyalgia I have found Norco 7.5/325 to profoundly help my chronic pain. However, I have noticed a difference in generic brands. Qualitest seems superior to the rest. Profoundly helps me to function with my chronic pain without significant Mark side effects. I have noticed the generic brands do very in quality. F 46 1 years

 5  post surgical hip replacement Constipation, loss of appetite, withdrawal I'd still be taking this if my surgeon would let me. I started out taking 8 a day, and eventually weaned myself down to one per day. Withdrawal lasted for about 1.5 weeks. It's great for surgical recovery until you have to give it up. Milk of Magnesia worked for me for the constipation and I lost 15 pounds from loss af appetite. F 50 2 months

 5  Neck/joint pain + Chronic head ache A little foggy at first, But zero sleep issues. Puts me in a great mood, Most likely due to the fact that I'm virtually pain free for the first time in 15 years.. I had been living in vegas for awhile, And finally decided it was time to look into some other options for pain treatment. I had done everything I could to avoid having to depend on RX drugs. Unfortunately after 15 years of trying everything else, It just wasn't enough anymore..After having a couple of visits with my families dr, We decided it would be worth a shot to start on a low dose of hydrocodone, And it was truly a life saver!..Sadly I had to move and am now stuck having to deal with dr's who are scared to RX a narcotic and I'm back having to try all the other crap that doesn't work first! I've even been given multiple urine tests all of which have been negative for every possible drug! So expect to jump through a few hoops and try a few different dr's before given an RX for this medicine..Bottom line, is it actually works!.. M 28 3 months

 5  post op pain Sedation/euphoria/itchiness/thats about it The stuff worked too well apparently so they gave me Darvs instead. It's ok to live with pain, but GOD FORBID if you get some euphoria. The stuff actually worked though, but wore off quickly. I could see how this could be very addictive given world and time enough. M 27 5 days

 5  chronic headaches; neck pain felt the 'euphoric' effect of the drug for about the first week, and it was actually kind of nice: a lovely warm glow. wanted to hug everybody, mostly because *the pain was gone at last!* since then, no 'glow', just continued effective pain relief. this drug probably saved my life. had chronic headaches for *years*, and got no relief whatsoever while the docs danced around prescribing everything except what worked. "try this muscle relaxer!" "now try this anti-depressant!" when i finally met a doc with the guts to prescribe the feared and dreaded narcotic (gasp!) painkiller, i got my life back. yes, it can be addictive. i've gone through withdrawal twice: it was no fun, no sleep/irritable for about 3 days; but certainly nothing like the throes of heroin withdrawal like they show in the movies. comparing the pain of withdrawal to the pain of my headaches (that only this drug can fix) is like comparing an ant to an elephant. alleviation of constant pain is a gift from god; and easily worth the price you *might* pay by taking this drug. can't recommend it highly enough.

 5  Fibromyalgia dry mouth this is a wonder drug. its the only medication im currently taking that truely helps with the fibromyalgia pain. before being put on hydrocodone I could barely get out of bed, now I can function like a normal person im soooo glad to have my life back. I hear a lot of people talk about the addiction problems with this drug but I think you can only become addicted to it if you have an addictive personality, withdrawl isnt fun but it could be a lot worse and it only last a couple of days. if even that long.

 5  Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Constipation. Drowsiness. Addiction. It takes the edge off of the pain. Nothing seems to take the pain away completely, but I'll take a reduction any time! Taking no more than 3 a day at most. Average is probably 8 in a week. M 68

 5  bleeding ulcer pain Sometime I feel drowsiness and a lack of energy, I have literally fallen asleep at my desk at work, but I take other meds to and think it was a combination. Other days I feel great and have more energy than I normally would. I love it, it helps me get through the day. I also take an anxiety med daily and if I am having an "episode" as I like to call them and the anxiety med alone isn't helping taking one 7.5 hydrocodone does the trick, I calm down and continue on with my work day. I usually am more productive after I have taken the combo and calmed down, alone they don't work near as well. I've been taking hydrocodone for over a year now off and on due to what they thought was pancreatitis and later this summer realized I had a bleeding ulcer instead the whole time. Needless to say I spent 21 days over the summer in the hospital and am allergic to NSAIDS so hydrocodone was my otpion. Had morphine the 2nd time I was in the hospital and I liked that I could have that every 2 hours but the hydrocone worked better even if I had to wait every 4 hours. I go to the dr tomorrow and am hoping that after I explain all that has been happening and that our trip to Mexico (probably not the best pl F 39 1 years

 5  ankle & knee trauma, arthritis Mild side effects include sweating and occasional stomach upset. I dont experience the "euphoria" other people report, but this is not a party for me. I use it for pain management only, so I can continue to work and get some use out of my body despite the damage done. My one regret about this medicine is that it took so long to get my physisicans to presribe it. There is a stigma attached to these drugs that to me seems ridiculous, it is NOT okay to live with extreme pain when there are options available such as this prescription medication. People do abuse these drugs, and they are addictive when abused I am sure, but this medication has been a blessing to my life and I am able to do more now than I have for a number of years. Where nothing else has worked at all, this medicine had made it possible for me to continue being productive and reasonably content despite the damages done to my joints. It is not a cure, but I dont think many medicines are, it is a means of pushing through pain so I can go live a reasonable life and handle my daily matters. M 47 2 years

 5  Back pain Happy, addictive, over exertion since I don't feel the pain so I feel later I started taking for back pain, then just to get through the work day, then because they make me smile alot and very happy. I get energetic and goofy. I stopped taking for awhile because I realized I was getting addicted and went through the withdrawals. Now, I only take when I need them, but they are fantastic for pain.

 5  WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION While taking these meds, I get an EXTREME jolt of energy...to the point where I can't even sit down. Other than that there are no side effects. I can see how people get addicted to this as it gives me the energy to do pretty much anything I want. F 21 6 days

 5  Severe degenerative disc disease Mild constipation, mild disruption in sleep if taken at bedtime, very little sedation unless already sleepy For 21 years I have dealt with pain in my lower lumbar area. A combination of genetic predisposition and heavy lifting in the gym (since I was 17 years old) resulted in episodes of moderate to severe back pain. It began with episodes every 18 months then became more frequent from 1986 to 2002, when it became more chronic and included severe sciatica in left hip and leg. Three MRIs since 2003 have revealed worsening severe degenerative disc disease in vertebrae T12 thru L5, along with lumbar stenosis, spondololysthesis, arthritis, you name it! I tried Neurontin (too sedating), Ultram (non-narcotic but ineffective), Percocet (too strong), spinal corticoid injections (ineffective), Lyrica (VERY dizzy) and plain old physical therapy - all to no avail. The hydrocodone (either lortab 10/500 or Norco 10/325)work perfectly every time, with very few side effects and no euphoria. Over all these years, I have to have built up some tolerance (I went from 5mg to 7.5mg to 10mg)but am still able to k M 48 21 years

 5  gut pain; clear tests fatigue, sleepiness. pleasant buzz (why some people take it). double edged sword. can be extremly helpful in surviving your pain, and it can be addicting, physically and mentally. i am now weaning myself off of a 4 year run. i am suspicious that it is now causing the pain that i originally took it for. its a bitch getting off. secret to having it be an effective tool: don't take it regularly, don't dose more than 10mg at a time unless doctor advises. take on an empty stomach with milk/food a must within 15 minutes or you might get nausious. or you can just take it with milk. there are many very similar drugs under different names. they all come from the opium poppy, and are thought to have been discovered over 3,000 years ago. and with all the pharmicological development we have had, 'they' can't find anything that works better.

 5  dysmenorrhea Some drowsiness, sleep disturbance, urinary retention, constipation, and dry mouth. Some dizziness and the usual feel of relaxation that comes from opiates. Withdrawal does happen if you stop use suddenly, but addiction and tolerance are easily avoidable if you take a few days away from it every week. I say hydrocodone is the greatest medication ever produced. It gave me my life back and allowed me to live normally. 10 -15 mgs will completely knock out even the severe, stabbing abdominal/pelvic pain. Elevates mood as well to treat the depression that comes with chronic pain. Before hydro, my life was planned around monthly torture sessions, when I would literally wish for death. I was so desperate for relief that I turned to alcohol and any drugs I could get my hands on, meanwhile getting ulcers from chronic use of Advil and other OTC meds. On Hydro I can be physically active and am no longer a prisoner of pain. This is truly a wonder drug that should be easily available to everyone. Instead it is tightly controlled and people are living in pain and forced to take dangerous and ineffective nsaids. Many doctors are reluctant to prescribe it, and that is terrible since OTC meds are so damaging to the liver and kidneys, while opiates cause no such harm. Someday I hope F 29 3 years

 5  Breakthrough Pain from AS mild dizziness if I haven't taken it in awhile. I take this as needed for breakthrough pain with my ankylosing spondilitis. I currently use fentanyl patches for round the clock pain relief. This medication works very well when my pain becomes aggrevated because I tried to do too much or I lose control of the pain due to stress. I use the 10/325 strength and take anywhere from half a tablet to two tablets as needed. I generally use between 10 and 50 tablets a month depending on the weather and my activity level. Have never noted any withdrawal symptoms from using the medication at this level. I have also noted that the Mallinckrodt generic tends not to work near as well as the other brands do though not sure why. M 38 12 years
