1/3 Of A Norco 10 Had Me Messed Up All Day.

Updated

I've been taking Hydrocodone 5 and now 10 for about 8 years now due to a bad back. I can take 1 every 6 hours as needed and always stick to the prescribed directions. Some days I take 1 and other days up to 4 depending on my pain for the day.

Today I was out and about and I broke a pill and took 1/3 of a hrdrocodone 10 manufacturerd by Mallinck. Well its been 9 hours now and I still feel it. It appeared I actually peaked around the 5 hour mark and I've felt a really strong high. Even after 9 hours I have no need to take anymore. This is pretty bazaar considering I only took 1/3 of a pill.

Had anyone ever had this happen to them?

Hello, James! How are you?

Had you eaten, yet? If may affect you more if you took it on an empty stomach. This could also happen if you took it with more water than usual, so it got into your system faster.

The FDA classifies this medication as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Verwon, took with food but not sure about the water. I always drink a lot of water. I did end up going to the doctors and it turned out I had a bad sinus infection and a small ear infection. Doctor said that could of also played roll in the way I was feeling.

I'm well aware it can be habit forming but after the years of taking this stuff I take as needed and no more then I actually need. I always start with a portion of a pill and if that doesn't work I take the whole thing.
