| 5 | Illness | Typical opiate deritive side effects. | More of the good stuff (Hydrocodone) less of the stomach bleeding bad stuff (Aceteminophen). Takes away any pain from cold or flu. Enjoy your day off. | 4 years | 10/8/2004 | 5 | | 3/25/2005 | 5 | | 2/17/2009 | 5 | | 9/27/2009 | 5 | Fibro, Copd, Cad, | I have nothing but good to say about it. | It saves my life, | 1 months 10Mg | 7/19/2016 | 4 | pinched nerve and to bulged disks | occasional constipation | 64 | 10 years 2X day | 4/9/2016 | 3 | | 3/15/2006 | 5 | fibromyagia/osteoarthirtis neck/bac | none | I have had fibro since childhood with scoliosis, now osteoarthritis low back and neck,stated to take 2 loritabs at a time, so doc said, less tylenol was best, so 4 months and I do not get a buzz,but people wiyh cronic pain donot react like others,whom pill pop... | F | 47 | 4 months | 2/27/2007 | 5 | bulging disc | euphoria---you feel so good you want to call the cable company and thank them for doing such a great job...lol :) | very addictive, I went into full withdrawals and got very sick, felt crappy, never again will I take one. | F | 22 | 3 years | 12/28/2006 | 5 | back pain | F | 54 | 2 years | 9/30/2004 | 5 | Broken back and Endo... | If you are taking it everyday-and then stop-there are SERIOUS mental addiction issues. A bad craving for the drug that takes at least a week to go away. It is just awful. | I never had addiction issues with vicodin-but taking one Norco is like taking two vicodin at a time it has double the opiate component. I hate being so dependent on a drug. I know that sooner or later I will be "cut off" and that frightens me so much. It gets a five for getting rid of pain-and a one for the ease of addiction. | F | 34 | 2 days | 11/26/2007 | 5 | syringomelia, disc disease | Light-headedness at first, sometimes my skin is itchy | This med works great! I have tried steroids, muscle relaxers, Neurontin, and NSAIDS. This is the only thing that gives me relief from the pain. I try not to take it until the pain is really bad because I build up a tolerance very quickly. And I don't want to get addicted. | F | 29 | 9 months | 12/29/2007 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | At times it can make you feel "high", but that is very rare. It usually occurs if Ive taken it on an empty stomach. | I have been taking the generic form of Norco for about a year now in combination with various muscle relaxers and other rx's for Fibro. In the beginning it was very effective, but as with any drug, ive started to grow a tolerance to it. But by no means does this make it an less of an effective drug in combatting pain. I take one every four hours, but am finding that it is working less and less. I would recommend Norco to a pain sufferer that is seeking something stronger than you average Vicodin which would usually contain 5-7.5 mgs of hydrocodone although HP has 10 but doesnt want all the Tylenol that comes with it. | F | 26 | 1 years | 3/3/2007 | 5 | Migraines, Interstitial Cystitis | None | Excellent breakthru med. Works quickly and helps for about 2-3 hours. Much better than Vicodin, Darvocet, Tramadol. I have severe chronic pain and couldn't function w/o my Norco and Oxy. Thanks to the makers. It is a great medicine! | F | 31 | 6 months | 7/30/2007 | 5 | Fibromyalgia/CMP | None. | I have been through the | F | 40 | 1 days | 2/5/2005 | 5 | Constant back pain | No bad side effects at all. | Norco is a life saver for me. Living with constant back pain, this drug has made having a life possible. It gives me energy, and changes my perception of pain. I am able to walk miles and miles a day (I volunteer at my local animal shelter and walk dogs.) Without this drug, I would be a total mess. I have no ill side effects, and if the day happens that I feel ok, i have no withdrawl symptoms, either. | F | 59 | 3 years 2 tablets 1X day | 2/16/2010 | 5 | multiple sclerosis | rush of energy, lessened depression, all good no bad | I've been taking norco for 2 years, I've tried all other pain relievers and the only one that I will take is dilaudid in cases when my pain is beyond severe. it is a life saver for me,allows me to live as normal as possible and be independent and most important out of pain. I am a nursing student and will tell you if doctors see you take this medication for more than a month they will label you and ask why you take so much. you do build tolerance and I have had days where I ran out and withdrawls are as bad as the pain. so don't take it unless you have to. I've came across ppl who have stole my pills from me and I think this medicine is great but only for ppl who truly need it. | F | 24 | 2 years 10 - 20 mg 6X day | 1/29/2011 | 5 | Chronic migraines and shoulder/neck | Euphoria, dry mouth, good sleep. | Has helped tremendously with my chronic pain issues due to a car accident 2 years ago. I recommend to anyone with severe pain but only take when absolutely nothing else works due to its highly addictive properties. Other than that its a great medication for headaches. | F | 23 | 2 months 10/325 1X AN | 2/19/2013 | 5 | chronic back pain from a spinal fus | I've been taking Norco for 2 years and 7 months .I am so dependent on a it's crazy can't function without them. they have me so high I feel no pain , so I'm able to clean the house and other things and then when they wear off, I'm even in more pain , cuz not feeling the pain I end up in even more pain after the two pain pills I take with a cup of coffee to make them work faster ,but when I do it that wathen they really don't last a long time because I was rushing them to work ,so then I'm popping 2 more because I know I'm going to be in pain from the stuff I did ,like cleaning and such , there's been times I ran out ,even so I get 120 pills add my prescription ....but I take 2 pills sometime I'll take 1 and a half very rarely what I take anything over 2 pills at a time . like right now out of 120 pills & 10 days before my refill ,I may have 10 pills left , so now I will be taking about 6 to 10 tramadol, it's just to knock the edge off .

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)
