| 1 | It was given to me as a pain killer | Depression without it. Focus with it. Burn out without it. Anger! Rage, Constipation, failed liver test. Let me get my legal pad out! | The drug has ruined my life. Starting with finances, relationships, employment, social disorders, let me get my legal pad out. At one time I met a gut that worked at a nursing home and he gave the old in pain dying patient’s placebos so he could sell bottles of 500 pills at a time so I could buy a duffle bag full at a time. Plus he threw in Valiums and even better Zanax. Wow I was taking 40-50 10 mg narco's plus 2 mg Zanax. Very profitable business for him. I could work for days overriding the pain. I EVERYTHING! The LOVE of my life!! Gone. She was so beautiful that 4 years later I still cry. The rest was EVERYTHING! If you think the drugs are helping they are like a fish hook dragging you to HELL on earth! Try getting off them. Rehab does not work. Once the drug companies have set the hook in your brain you are a DRUG ADDICT! I WAS CEO of 2 companies. I have attempted suicide more times than I remember. It is harder to die than you could imagine. I work up every time looking for my pills. When the LOVE OF MY LIFE flushed my pills down the drain she almost had a break down from fear of my reaction. If she was not so LOVING I probably would have killed her.I had more pills hidden so that prevented my rage. Ever try to mix the two drugs and run out! Bi-Polar, abusive, depressed, shaking, sweating, vomiting .You really need to try a few. HELL is in that bottle. I guarantee it. | M | 50 | 15 years 10 mg 4X day | 6/3/2012 | 1 | Spinal stenosis, spinal neurothapy | I have quit norco for 10 months.started again this time 5 months. Now trying to get off of them. Causing lots of anxiety and panicky feelins. Im worried PAWS.I really need help and ask has anybody else having these symptoms? Thanks !! | Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated !! God Bless | F | 56 | 15 years 50mg | 6/15/2017 | 5 | Chronic pain | Constipation, Loss of sex drive | M | 28 | 13 years | 2/27/2009 | 5 | Sciatica and back pain | Euphoria, Constipation, Drowsiness, Irritability, Sexual Disinterest. | Fantastic pain reliever with tolerable side effects. Take 1 to 4 tablets daily depending on pain level. Occasionally take none for several days with no withdrawal symptoms. Early side effects of anxiety, suppressed respiratory rate, inability to orgasm in low doses, prurience and discolored stools all wore off after a year or so of daily use. In large doses (>=20mg hydrocodone) a lack of sexual desire is still a problem. The worst persistent side effect by far is the constipation: adding fiber causes stools too big to evacuate without discomfort, but no fiber = no movement. :'( | M | 45 | 12 years | 6/30/2009 | 5 | phantom pain | M | 39 | 12 years | 6/9/2006 | 5 | Multi-level spinal fusion | None | Saved me from a life of pain. Everything else constipated me. Norco cuts the pain about 85% and is not constipating. I am so thankful for this mec, I wouldn't be able to mentally or physically function without it. I play softball three times a week. If not for norco this would not be possible. | M | 47 | 11 years 10 mg 2X day | 10/19/2011 | 5 | Back injury hip pain muscle aches n | None It's a miracle drug Not generic | F | 58 | 10 years 10/325 | 1/14/2014 | 4 | pinched nerve and to bulged disks | occasional constipation | 64 | 10 years 2X day | 4/9/2016 | 3 | Interstitial cystitis | I have had benign paying for 10 years recently picked up my drugs and I know when something different has occurred and I believe a flu shot has been added does anyone else feel this is happened because I have not had the flu in a really really really really really really long time and I refuse to get it but now the sudden they're giving it away free ? | I feel that there's something different about this medication this time when I picked it up does anyone else feel the same way? | F | 38 | 10 years 10/325 | 12/14/2016 | 3 | Bulging disc | Dizziness, horrible headache and neck pain when I wake up, nausea | F | 54 | 10 years 10 mg | 2/1/2014 | 1 | Lower body pain | dizziness, hot flashes and nausea | I taken generic NORCO 10-325 for years and this was the first time I received from MFR: AMNEAL. Imprinted on the white pill was IP 110. WORSE PILL EVER!! DIDN'T HELP AT ALL WITH MY PAIN. I would of been better off with regular advil. I wish they still had the yellow pills or Watson brand. 387. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON AMNEAL. | F | 51 | 10 years 10-325 MG 6X day | 11/4/2020 | 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. I do have limits but have learned. Need surgery but insurance won't cover it so I am stuck with taking pain meds. | F | 54 | 7 years 10 5X day | 2/1/2022 | 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. | F | 61 | 7 years 5-325mg 5X day | 2/23/2017 | 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 | 4 | herniated discs and abdominal pain | Some constipation and dizziness if taken without food | Ive taken 4-12 of the 10/325 strength norcos for a while but i got switched to 4 of the 5/325. it doesnt work as well as the 10/325, but im worried about taking too strong of an opiate so im content with staying with the 5's. Ive tried kadian, oxycontin, percocet, dulaudid, fentanyl patches and norco is the only one i can use without feeling really out of it. It can be very addictive so be careful. most people wont admit they are but going thru it myself i can honestly say thru experience that you dont think your addictive until you run out. when that happens its hard to make it a few hours without agonizing pain that seems to radiate from head to toe. All the pain seems real but after a few days the only pain that remains is the one that your taking the norco for. | M | 34 | 7 years | 11/30/2008 | 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 | 1 | Back pain | First I would get a tingling feeling and my body would have a wave of numbness,then my heart would jump ask beat so fast I hear it in my ears,I start shaking and finally I can't breath,this is an awful feeling,I would not wish this on anyone,after about 6 hours those symptoms ware off but then comes round two of horrible symptoms except this time it's mental,like very low mental compacity,feeling unreal or like someone else completely. I am weening down from norco and cannot wait to be done with it! | Please please please if your someone who takes this medication just stop! It's better to be in pain | F | 25 | 6 years 10 | 8/10/2016 | 5 | severe ankle pain | They give me the ability to walk daily | I want to get off it but unless someone will give me prednisone regularly or something non addictive. Don't know whtelse to but i hv to walk. I was taken over my prescribed dose for a long time. I hv now cut back to my prescribed dose and that hasn't been easy. | F | 52 | 5 years 40 | 9/1/2015 | 5 | Feel good | Where do I begin! Ok all side effects , guilt, blurry vision, hunger, sleepiness , suicidal thoughts. Addiction withdrawal. Dope stickiness. | M | 28 | 5 years 30mg 2x | 2/6/2013 | 5 | Back Pain from fall | Restless legs, which over the counter "Leg Cramps" tablets(qunine) seem to help and sometimes constipation which milk of magnesia corrects. | I've been taking a 10mg Norco tab 2 to 3 X a day for 5 years for back pain from a fall. I've always had a high pain tolorence but 3 years ago had hip replacement with residual pain then developed joint pain, knee, leg, and foot pain followed by tendon issues. Sometimes I would take a 3rd and 4th norco, and seemed to quiet all my pains and I was able to get around. In the past year I developed muscle loss to the point I it was hard to get off the floor after playing with my young grand kids or out of a chair or even walk around. Dr's were concerned all this might be due to Agent orange exposure from the army or norco. I stopped the norco for two weeks (with no withdrawel issues) but had no effect and pain was in far less control with Tylenol and IBP. I also have diabetes ll and neuropathy from the agent orange and have been taking ACTOS for three years to control blood sugar. Forgot the ACTOS on a holiday trip recently and didn't take it for 4 days and low and behold joints are not hurting so bad I can get off the floor out of the chair and muscle tone is returning in just 5 days. Problems were not from norco but ACTOS! . Back on 2 norco tabs a day for back pain and no ACTOS, beginning to feel much better. Found this site and and the reports on actos confirm the actos connection to my issues. . . I now believe all meds taken need to be re-evaluated periodically , and you can't always depend on MD's to do it for you ... Thank you, Ask a Patient. | M | 63 | 5 years 10mg 2X day | 3/12/2013 |
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)
