| 5 | cervical discectomy +labral detach | None to speak of. This takes away my pain comletely, but unfortunately only lasts for about 2 hours. Cervical discectomy C-5 to C-7, labral detachment of the right shoulder, extreme pain right side back of neck, and killer headaches behind right eyebrow. | Have tried Naproxen and similar. Also Vicodin, Flexeril, Baclofen (horrible). Just started Neurontin. Will see how that goes. Biggest problem is that even though this works extremely well, doctors all seem to be afraid of prescribing painkillers for fear of law suit. One doctor told me this straight up. His exact words. So he can sleep at night, but his patients can't. | M | 51 | 1 years | 2/24/2007 | 5 | Severe back pain, fibromyalgia | Constipation, and it will make you feel a little light-headed until you get used to it. | This is a wonder drug. I have been on every painkiller out there, and this is the only one that works for me. If you try one generic and it does not work, try another one. There are 4 kinds I know of, Watson, Danbury, Mallingrodt & Qualitest. Only the yellow Danbury works for me. It has to do with the binding agents that the pills are made with. Some work better for some. You get twice the power of Vicodin with a lot lower dose of Acetominophen. These can be very addictive though, so be careful. Will diminish your sex drive drastically. | M | 41 | 4 years | 1/5/2007 | 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 | 4 | peripheral neuropathy , fibromy | constipation , some dizziness at first then it went away , | I had to go to a pain clinic after 2 years of pain that the doctors thought was manageable ( because it was not their pain) . I am on heavy doses of neurontin and cymbalta . I am taking 3-10 mg (325"s) a day and is helping me tremendously .When you have chronic pain it is a shame that doctors are so slow to prescribe what you need . | M | 56 | 7 days | 12/3/2006 | 5 | Spine / Disk Damage | Constipation. | Would be in a world of hurt without it.... | M | 45 | 60 days | 11/27/2006 | 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 | 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 | phantom pain | M | 39 | 12 years | 6/9/2006 | 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 | 3 | | 3/15/2006 | 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 | 5 | | 3/25/2005 | 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 | Fibromyalgia/CMP | None. | I have been through the | F | 40 | 1 days | 2/5/2005 | 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 | 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 | back pain | F | 54 | 2 years | 9/30/2004 | 4 | Herniated discs | None | Stopped pain by 80%. | M | 30 | 4 years | 7/5/2004 | 4 | nerve damage | constipation | F | 32 | 1 days | 4/23/2004 |
