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)

 5  chronic low back & neck pain Nausea when first started now no side effects Went thru years of seeing numerous doctors and ended up in pain management where they prescribed Norco and it has been the only one that helps me live a normal life.

 5  Back and knee pain from accident Mild itching and constipation that went away after I was on it for awhile. This medication was the only medication that helped my pain almost 100% and gave me my life back.I was off of it for a while and was in too much pain to get out of bed most days. Now I have started with a new doctor after several years. He put me on Tramadol because of the bs from the government about Norco. The Tramadol is doing nothing for my server disablitating pain from my accident and incurrable spinal condition and it is giving me many bad side effects. I am where I am not able to walk very far or do house work or live normally because of the pain. At my next pain clinic appointment I am going to ask if he can put me back on Norco,I don't know if he will because of all the DEA and government mess. F 50 3 months

 5  neck surgery and extreme low back pain none this helps me to no end. ibuprofen does nothing for me, and if i am gone from home too long and it is worn off i can hardly get out of the car. on the other hand i have heard over the years about becoming addicted to it. i can stop taking it without any type of withdrawal or cravings only pain. not only pain i have weakness in one leg and with the pain i feel more unsteady. my dr. said just two days ago that both sides of legislative body is wanting to do away with norco. i told him that if that happened i would have to lay on the couch all day like a quivering pile of jello.

 5  Fibromyalgia I have found Norco to profoundly help my chronic pain. However, I have noticed that different generic brands can vary. The Mallinckodt brand is horrible. The qualitest hydrocodone brand works best for me. Other than mild drowsiness, I do not experience marked side-effects. I have found Norco to profoundly help my chronic pain. The generic brand by Qualitest works best (for me) Yes...generics can vary! F 45 1 years

 5  Possible blown disc Nauseous/out of it/overload of energy/insomnia/itchy Back in 2002 my cervical disc shattered and severed my spine, there was actual blood shown on my MRI. Had surgery that week. Went back in 2008 and MRI showed two bulging cervical disc one above my plate and one below. Was treated for the pain and the pain went away. Recently for about two months I have been experiencing the same pain as in 2002... Appointment for MRI and meds given also appointment to see my neurosurgeon to see what is going on. OK back to the pain medicine, I am pleased with the pain relief, for me is lasting about four hours and actually trying to avoid them cause they are making me ill and wired out. I don't think anyone would be able to drive on this medicine, well I know I will not be.... First time on them but also taking a muscle relaxer with them three times a day, so could be adding to my blah feeling. I am hoping to get my problem sorted out quick for I don't do well on medication. Good luck to any one with pain and on this medicine. F 45 2 days

 5  migraines/osteoarthritis in knees Itching, drowsiness, and constipation I have severe migraines and I use norco with my imitrex and it works great. I also have the knees of a 65 yr old woman, according to my orthopedic doctor, and my knees cause me severe pain, and the norco allows me to still be mobile. I have sciatica and carpal tunnel as well. I take gabapentin for those, in conjunction with the norco. It works great for me. I can take up to 30 mgs a day if needed. It doesn't make me so tired I can't function and I take benadryl for the itch. I also have IBS-D so the constipation is a welcome change. Works great for me! F 36 4 months
