Formula drastically changed over last two years. A small amount 20mg a day allowed me to function normally for the last 17 years. I am dropping all my health insurance payments and working on a plan to become an expat from U.S. Good luck to the rest of you living in pain from a carreer of very heavy construction work.
Norco 325 mg. Acetaminophen is worthless. I recommend Vicodin 300 mg. acetaminophen ! Good luck and God bless ??
Someone is telling pharma companies to change the formula. These have not worked the same for the last 2 years. What ever happened to health care oath "do no harm"?
Tris pharmaceuticals needs to be sued they mess with their formula every month it's disgusting absolutely disgusting the latest refill I got is now making my heart race no pain relief whatsoever urinating constantly and a headache and slightly dizzy. I have been making FDA complaints several times over the last 2 years and with the Tris itself and they will not fix it I am believing that they want to kill off the pain patients and cause us to suffer so we kill ourselves. I depend on this medication to work part-time as I cannot survive alone on disability now with this new pills that feel like I'm taking nothing but something that might be poisonous is going to ruin my life and cause me to be homeless. Thank you you b#(_@rds everyone who takes pain medicine isn't a junkie I pray for karma for each one of the evil people who is responsible for doing this to innocent people
It works if you have moderate chronic or acute pain. Taken as prescribed for pain it helps with rest. If you take for euphoric effects and not pain you can become addicted. If you are in pain when you take one you won't feel the euphoric effects. Its as if the brain responds to the receptors to trigger pain relief only and rest. But if taken in no pain the receptors respond with euphoric effects so thats why its important to take only in pain as needed. Works good.
Companies and gov are gathering data with these reviews to see if reductions in potency are having an effect that were sufficient for many years so pain patients ask for more to make them look bad. Become an expat if you can. Good luck and pray for each other.
I have been on the same dosage of Norco for 24 years, since I was paralyzed overnight by a rare disease. The Watson yellows worked beautifully, but that was before legitimate pain sufferers were persecuted with the so-called "Opioid Epidemic". Recently, CVS has changed to manufacturer Eywa. The pills are baby blue and have no efficacy whatsoever. CVS used to special order Sun Pharmaceuticals for me, but now no chain pharmacy will special order a manufacturer. I am treated like an addict for even asking! Does anyone have experience with Amnean, Aurobindo or Lupin?
It was like taking Tramadol. The pharmaceutical companies have totally changed the medicine for the worse.
Chronic neck and back pain for 14years. Norco worked best. Switched insurance and new doctor prescribed flexeril which upsets my stomach and didn’t help with pain, just made me sleepy. I was able to still work taking norcos unlike the new meds.
Tris pharmacuticals keepd changing this medicine it now feels like I'm taking a completely different medication and I am in withdrawals . I am irate how can they keep getting away with doing this? Please people make FDA complaints daily and call Tris every day as well . Post all over the internet until they are sued
I was prescribed Norco 5/325 (hydrocodone acetaminophen and bitartrate) after having my wisdom teeth cut out. I don't feel like it has helped me that much with pain after taking it as prescribed for 2 days. It's made it a little easier to sleep as I get drowsy from it, but that's really it. The prescription 800mg ibuprofen tablets alternating with acetopmetaphin work far better for the pain of tooth extraction in my opinion. It was worth a shot, but I will probably not be taking these anymore. Just wasn't it for me.
I have taken Norco 10/325(generic) for a while now, every 6 hours, since a car accident which almost killed me. I was so badly damaged and went through some horrific surgeries in the Texas Medical Center. The only oral medicine that works for me is Norco. I just wish the name brand was available.
可怕的FDA正在使用我们实验室老鼠通过out active ingredient in these pills. I have been suffering beyond belief for the last 4 months by the last generic that actually used to help me Tris pharmacuticals, I have tried all these other brands and they were like taking nothing or have me horrible side effects. Please people file complaints and fall the FDA and the drug makers DAILY blow up their phones and website until someone gets some balls and fixes this evil happening to innocent sick people and btw thank God I had a couple old pills saved and this is the PROOF I needed to know it wasn't just my body,I take half of one of the old ones and get relief for 3 hours
I was given loritab fire chronic back and neck pain but when loritab was taken off the market, narco took it's place and after taking a few, I felt nothing. No relief, no help with the pain, nothing. I am not sure what is the difference but I have talked with several other people who took it and their experience was the same. No affect.
I have experienced severe muscle spasms in addition to herniated discs intermittently over the last 4 years. My doctor prescribed Prednisone, Flexeril and hydrocodone. My pain is very severe from time to time and the hydrocodone is helpful when I take two 5/325. After my knee replacement I was prescribed hydromorphone which is supposed to be stronger but I did not find it helpful because side effects were very disturbing. Hydrocodone is always predictable and dependable. I am not in fear of addiction, as I stop taking it as soon as my pain begins to be alleviated.
Got all four of my wisdom teeth out. I feel everything and it’s only the first day. All it did was make me sleepy.
I am a 72 yr old man and have metastasized prostate cancer to my spine and pelvis with cancer in my lymph nodes, liver and various other places. I am starting my 3rd yr of treatment and after Taxotere, Xtandi, Taxotere and now Zytiga, I have moderate to major back pain. I started with one Norco at bedtime and now take one every six hours to moderate pain allowing me to work, sleep and live an other wise pretty normal life. I do not feel addicted to Norco and sometimes stay off if it for a few days to see how my pain has increased and to measure if Norco is beneficial. It is!
The surgeon gave me an Rx for this pain killer after an appendectomy. Unfortunately, if it was masking pain, it was not strong enough. Pain level before surgery (without any pain killers) was at 6 for me. After surgery, while taking this medication, my pain level rose to a 9. I don't feel this drug is effective enough. I expected my pain level to go down a little after the surgery, but not completely because my body would have to recover from the violence done against it. I just did not anticipate it being so much worse. Dr. did not let me know if that would be the case and the nurses and ER Dr were saying I'd be better afterwards.
Was in a Car accident some years back and have herniated disc, migraines, and I suffer with Ulcerative Colitis since 1990. I suffer from muscle spasms in my neck and back and it doesn't do anything for that, but the herniated disc it sure helps and pain in my neck as well. I can tell you also that I had a Miserable life but with UC it made it 10-times worse. I couldn't go anywhere without worrying about a bathroom; After they put me on Norco my life has been so much better. I am thankful for its Constipating Side Effect. I come from an addictive bunch but I can tell you right now I don't get the Euphoric effects that others say they do. My last dose 10/325 was 16-hrs ago and I do believe if I was addicted to it I couldn't go that long without it. Thank God and My Good Doctor everyday...
I had a abdominal wall hernia in 2010 for years i was fine then in 2015 i started getting pain in my abdomen.. The doctors kept blowing me off saying nothing is wrong with me.. Finally they admitted that my hernia returned but not a candidate for surgery.. I started seeing the pain clinic was prescribed 5/325 norco twice a day and have been on it 2 years!! At first it helped but now barely takes the edge off.. Just found out i have severe liver fibrosis and the doctor says they are taking me off the norco and to take Tylenol for pain!!! Any suggestions???
