| 2 | Post-op knee surgery | Hallucinations, but it wiped all pain from my body! | The first day I took the drug, all was well. The second day, I was awakened when The Virgin Mary, attired in blue, sat on the headboard of my bed. She was looking at me and talking a blue streak, but I couldn't understand her. I listened, but I was really freaked out. As abruptly as she appeared, she disappeared. I was shaken, but I went back to sleep. This drug made me VERY sleepy. Soon I was again awakened by what I thought was the dog scratching, but it was my DAD in angel form, flapping his wings as he hovered over me, saying not a word, and really not looking AT ALL like himself. Somehow, I knew it was my dad. He didn't stay long. I got up and walked a bit, then I woke up my husband, told him about my "visitors," and he calmed me down enough to almost fall asleep again. But I looked at my sleeping husband, and as I watched, another angel came from his body, flew over me and over to my bedside table and then flew back into his body. I again woke him up and told him to stop it. He asked me if he was snoring. The GOOD thing is that for those two days and part of the third, I had NO pain anywhere in my body. However, I decided I didn't need hallucinations, and they freaked me out, so I stopped the medication. For the next three days I had a headache. I don't know if the cessation of the meds had anything to do with the headaches. My doctor was not particularly happy that I stopped the med, but he DID say that "about 1%" of patients who take it report | F | 66 | 2 days 5-325 3X day | 4/7/2014 | 5 | Chipped femur and back of knee cap | Dizziness and Trouble Breathing | F | 15 | 10 days | 4/3/2014 | 5 | broken arm | M | 68 | 4 days 10/325 mg | 3/30/2014 | 4 | Back pain from injury | I have to smoke and smoke and smoke.

I went thru such major withdrawal from not taking a pill the very next day ! I ended up in a treatment facility on methadose maintenance program ! Someone earlier mentioned about IP 110 white pill I had same reaction NOTHING thenbest and only brand I recommend is Watson yellow pill!

I feel like I have the flu. Headache too. Back hurts like heck but it is better than the side effects of this med! Ferget it... | I took Vicodin 5/500 1 or 2 at a time for a year for this pain, as often as necessary. Worked well and I was able to live my life pretty pain free as long as I had some. With the recent acetominophin thing, my pharmacy stopped carrying it and had my doc switch my scrip to these norco 5/325. 4 days in, I'm like holy hell this is AWFUL. I don't know what to do. I can't take this stuff:( | F | 50 | 4 days 5 mg 1X day | 2/12/2014 | 3 | Achilles tendon injury | Constipation, throwing up, dizziness, sweats, hot and cold flashes, weird dreams, mild pain | F | 18 | 4 days | 2/11/2014 | 3 | Bulging disc | Dizziness, horrible headache and neck pain when I wake up, nausea | F | 54 | 10 years 10 mg | 2/1/2014 | 1 | herniated disc, cervical stenosis | I did great with most all brands of the Norco 10, but when prices increased in my area, I switched pharmacies to a small " mom and pop" pharmacy. I used that pharmacy for 3 months, had 3 prescriptions filled there for Norco 10. The brand I received there were oblong white tables with IP 110 on them. I noticed they did not work as well as the generic I got at WalGreens, and then I began having terrible night sweats, hot flashes, bouts of nausea and dizziness that threatened to topple me over. I ran fevers though I was not ill. I thought maybe the symptoms were menopause ( I was 50 yo at the time.) I thought the pills I got those 3 months must be working but my pain had gotten worse after a car accident. Well, the pharmacist told me that my regular prescription would be raised the next month to 6 times what I had been paying. I do not have insurance and could not afford to pay 350 dollars fo ninety plls. So I shopped around and WalGreens gave me a discount card which made my pr | Have had no problems with Norco 10 generics or brand except for the IP 110's. | F | 51 | 2 years 10mg 3X day | 1/17/2014 | 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 | 5 | because I have ME | none. I have pain that only responds to norco. I tried all meds in all classes. | F | 64 | 5 years 10-275 | 12/10/2013 | 5 | Chronic prostitis | Side effects experienced with NORCO: This is the only thing that takes the pain down to a manageable level. I don't abuse this medication so I'm not sure how higher doses would effect me. I take 2 of the 10/325 a day one in the morning and one mid afternoon. I get some upset stomach but that's it. If you feel yourself wanting to increase your dose instead just add a NSAID to the mix when you take it. For example take a 10/325 norco and 2 alieve same time. | M | 27 | 3 months 10/325 mg | 9/23/2013 | 1 | for fibermyalgia pain | Headaches, stomach aches, burning and also vomiting and its not taking the pain away at all because its just adding more | F | 5 days 5mg | 9/11/2013 | 2 | Chronic Back Pain | Terrible Headaches, Nausea, sweating and some constipation. | These bad side effects are only since being switched to "Sun" brand 5 months ago due to them changing from 10/660 to 10/325 - prior I was on Qualitest 10/660 for years and never had any side effects except occasional constipation. I am very upset with how sick this other brand is making me considering it's a lower amount of tylenol you'd think it would affect me less but I do have many allergies so it is possible that I am allergic to some filler of this Sun brand but from what I am reading other people are having headaches too. The pain relief is less than they were before April too. For me these generics are not reliable - I can take them one day and be ok and have a pill from the same bottle the next day and be throwing up all day and have terrible headaches. I asked my pharmacist to order the Qualitest ones again and he has so I am truly hoping that next month will be good again - if not maybe my body is rejecting the meds altogether :( I will know in a week or so. | F | 33 | 5 months 10/325 4X day | 8/3/2013 | 1 | Back Pain | Mild buzz , mild nausea sometimes. | WARNING!!! IF YOU'RE TAKING THIS MED AND GOT THE WHITE PILLS FROM WATSON/ACTAVIS THEY MADE ME VERY ILL.THEY CHANGED THE PILLS BACK IN APRIL 2013, PHARM SAID ALL THEY DID WAS CHANGE THE COLOR BUT IT WAS A TOTAL OUTRIGHT LIE.I ADVISE YOU TO FIND A PHARM THAT CARRIES THE YELLOW NARCOS FROM OTHER DRUG MAKERS. | M | 44 | 5 years 10/325 3X day | 7/29/2013 | 3 | L3-S1 spinal fusion and nerve pain | This medicine definitely helped me get through 3 level spinal fusion. The longer I took it, the more pain I was in when I didn't take it. Always felt hung over the next morning after I took it. I also got easily agitated. Completely off Norco for 2 months and the pain is much less than when I was taking it. Recommend for short use only or long term only if absolutely necessary.. | F | 35 | 10 months 10mg | 5/28/2013 | 1 | back pain | Terrible headaches, nausea, horrible mood swings, and constipation. | F | 28 | 6 months 5/325 | 4/6/2013 | 5 | C7 bqck pain, lower back paib | M | 41 | 8 months 10 mg | 4/1/2013 |
