Can be addictive very quickly if used for more than a couple weeks though so only use if neccesary. I think they work a little better when you chew them. | M | 36 | 3 years | 4/3/2004 | 4 | nerve damage | constipation | F | 32 | 1 days | 4/23/2004 | 4 | Herniated discs | None | Stopped pain by 80%. | M | 30 | 4 years | 7/5/2004 | 5 | back pain | F | 54 | 2 years | 9/30/2004 | 5 | Illness | Typical opiate deritive side effects. | More of the good stuff (Hydrocodone) less of the stomach bleeding bad stuff (Aceteminophen).

Enjoy your day off. | 4 years | 10/8/2004 | 5 | fibromyalgia continuing pain therap | none. just pain relief | I have been on norco for over 2 years now for fibromyalgia and have never had any addiction or trouble with it. I can work and more importantly am pain free. | M | 37 | 2 days | 2/3/2005 | 5 | Fibromyalgia/CMP | None. | I have been through the | F | 40 | 1 days | 2/5/2005 | 1 | Pain-after knee replacement | Mood change-normally very optimistic and cheerful, became very paranoid, angry and anxious. Agitated. Panic attacks. Disoriented, strange dreams, memory changes. Became irrational. Erratic heartbeats. Hallucinations. | I would not touch any of the opiates again. Had same reaction to Dilaudid, though Norco was the worst. Found out later it is not recommended for people my age. I wish they would have checked more thoroughly before giving it to me. | F | 77 | 1 days | 2/16/2005 | 5 | | 3/25/2005 | 4 | abdominal pain | the longer you take it, the more you need to get the same amount of pain relief. occasionally you have to drop back and wean your way down to smaller doses. a good time to do this is when your pain symptoms are milder. that way, when the pain gets more severe, you can get relief with the same amount you were taking. | norco or its generic (watson) comes in 10 mg with only 325 mg of 'tylenol.' too much tylenol is not good for your liver. an alternative to norco is lortab which comes (among other) in 7.5 mg with 750 mg of 'tylenol!!!' if you are taking higher doses, i'd stay away from this. | M | 66 | 3 years | 6/13/2005 | 3 | | 3/15/2006 | 4 | surgery gone bad | Dry mouth and a little dizzy at first, that went away after a few days. | This has to be one of the Best ones I've ever taken. It let me lead a normal life... for once! ONLY take when needed. The only issue I guess I would call it is the length of time I get relief from it, which is about 2 hours and you are suppose to only take 1 or 2 every 5-6 hours. | F | 7 years | 5/30/2006 | 5 | phantom pain | M | 39 | 12 years | 6/9/2006 | 5 | Fibro, 12 Hern. Disc. (Long List) | I take 10/325 as needed for Break Through pain and so far I have been lucky and no problems at all in past 6 years. I usually take 4-6 a day depends on how my Duragesic Patch is handling things for me. | There have been times in the past 6 years that I have gone a week or two and not had to take a pill and I never have any problems and I am happy with that, very. | F | 42 | 6 years | 9/4/2006 | 5 | Severe Back Problems, RSD | None | So far this has been a great drug for break through relief. I take the 10/325 4-6 a day as needed. I also have my liver checked to make sure everything is ok not only because of this drug but all the others I take. I have kidneys checked too. Good idea to do it every 6 months, I do it without fail. | F | 46 | 4 years | 9/4/2006 | 5 | surgery for a severe bunion | none | Norco works better then anything else, the doctor originally had me on 7.5 percosets which made me sick to my stomach. Norco gave the same relief with no vomiting. | F | 52 | 14 days | 9/27/2006 |
NORCO (ACETAMINOPHEN; HYDROCODONE BITARTRATE): This combination medication is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains an opioid (narcotic) pain reliever (hydrocodone) and a non-opioid pain reliever (acetaminophen). Hydrocodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever. This product is not recommended for use in children younger than 6 years due to an increased risk of serious side effects (such as slow/shallow breathing). FDA Approval Date: 1997-02-14 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
