Generic Norco M367 10/325 (Page 15) (Top voted first)

It's no good. I have to take three at a time for 1 hour of pain relief. Anybody else have this problem with M367 - 10/325? Has anyone else noticed that meds from certain manufacturers do not work as well for them?

You are totally correct, you have to get the doctor to write you a prescription in person monthly however it is to get the schedule 2 medication that you need.

I am in CA and my doctor writes it for a 90-day supply as I live 2 hours each way from doctor's office. My Express Scripts pharmacy requires that a 90-day supply be written.

Here is the detail that pertains to us regarding regulation by SB 482:

So why was it that they spent all this money to keep track of all the medications that we are taking and what doctor is giving it to us... So they can now make sick people.... many of us who can barely get around; go to the doctors every month to get a prescription for our medication. Then they tie our doctors hands behind their backs by putting the fear of the DEA in them! These doctors have compassion but they sure do not want to lose their license because they were compassionate and wrote a prescription for pain medication for someone even if they need it! These doctors have cut back on many of our medications... and if you are like me and moved because of your disability... you were probably really affected when you had to change doctors! There is no such thing as pain medication in a meaningful dose... it seems to be a one size fits all dose now! Shame on you if you are in serious pain and need more than what I will call the minimum dose!

If all this is not bad enough.... try filling that prescription that you did manage to get that is now about half the dose you could once get and actually be able to have some sort of life! Many months I go without for days because every pharmacy I go to says they are out of this medication! I then have to depend on my significant other to take my prescription and do the same thing that I did for even longer till he can finally find a pharmacist to fill it... all the while I lay in bed suffering.

I am not suppose to take Tylenol because it repeatedly increases my liver enzymes. Now I know this and I know that just 700 mg... 2 Tylenol at a time, less than once a day is all it takes but nothing else helps when I can not take the pain any longer and can not take any more real pain medication yet (opioids).

So here I am taking taking this medication because I no longer have any choices left! My doctor tells me I am taking unnecessary risks but I see it SOOO differently! You see how I see it, I have NO other choices!

Ohh... but the inj's. that he gives me every month, the ones I have to sign consent papers for every month... the inj's. which do not help me... what are they? Are they not an unnecessary risk when they do not help me? This is such a hot topic with my doctor that I can not even bring that up any longer!

I either sign the release forms for the inj's. or he will not refill my pain medications! OK... that is not quite right! He told me he will give me a 30 day supply of my medication and release me as being uncooperative! Good God... what are we to do?

I am a woman who is almost 60 years old who suffers from osteoarthritis, Interstitial cystitis, failed cervical fusion which left me with broken screws in my spine... among all kinds of other various problems from steroids which I took for an autoimmune disease!

And what am I having to do to get pain medication; that's right I'm having to let them inj. steroids into me every single month to get my prescription enough pain medication that I can sometimes feel somewhat comfortable as I may in bed!

This is no longer a life! I was a flight attendant for many years and therefore know what living really looks like!

Jeez.... even if I did have it in me to travel a little, I would have to be at my doctors office every month for my medication! Besides Cancer, There is no other illness that puts such restraints on patients!

Enough Said... Hurting... Frustrated... And Fed Up!

Yes you're correct. Reason is, drug makers that do generics are not subjected to the stringent evaluation that brand names are. Let alone random ingredients are placed in any type of generic brands, which is why some work better than others. Your best bet is to stick with a pharmacy that carries a brand you like and if not find the manufacturer and ask them to order it. If they say "they cannot" it's a lie and usually comes down to price. Being a cash patient helps as well as it gives them more leeway. This is not just with norcos, its with percs, roxys etc. so know what works for you and emphasize this to your person. Tell them the truth, it doesn't work as well and this is what I want.

I hear you, loud and clear. Ask for generic brand Qualitest. My local pharmacist told me to always ask for that brand. As for the Tylenon, I have switched to Hydrocodone/IB (Ibuprofen). it is a lower dose that the Tylenol (200 mg. per tablet vs. 325 for Tylenol. The drug companies want to make more money than should be allowed by the Feds. The noose they put around our necks is getting tighter with each new regulation that comes into play. No wonder people turn to the streets for drugs. I live 2 hours each way to my doctor and she has been kind enough to do the script for 90-day supply through ExpressScripts, as I have said before. The cost to me as copay for 90 days (900 pills) is $10.00. The local pharmacy won't even fill it for me as they are not making enough money on it, and that is what they told me. So much for living in a "neighborly" small town. Our insurance requires we use ExpressScripts for ongoing med use. You may want to check into that, as well as switching to IB for a while. Just my 2 cents' worth. Gentle hugs. xoxo

Joe, since the FDA is a Federal agency, you can contact your local congress person and file a complaint. Couldn't hurt (no pun intended).

I will not get anything BUT the yellows, the white ones are garbage as far as I'm concerned, another way for pharmaceutical companies to rip us off!

I definitely notice a difference between the different mfg's & change of formula within the same mfg on several drugs. I am wondering abt Mylan Fentanyl patches. I've been using them since before 08. Without them I'd be back in a wheelchair. I alternate 25mcg & 12mcg. The most recent batch has printing on them. Also, I don't get the pain relief I used to get from it. What's up with Mylan Fentanyl patches? I use atarax. suddenly the pharmacy, Rite Aid, switched to green pills. Not effective. All in my mind? Well one of my dogs is itchy (no fleas) The green pills are not effective for her either. She didn't see the green pills. I just shoved it down her throat in the dark LOL. I purchased some Atarax in Mexico. These are effective for both of us. I don't know the mfg of either. Re: Norco - I have heard from other patients in Dr's office that yellow R more effective. I take them at bedtime so maybe I don't notice the difference. However, I have been waking up in pain. I have the white ones. But there R too many meds & too many variables to judge on that one. I did have a couple of days when I took them in daytime. They didn't make me sleepy which surprised me. They helped some. I had to take every 2 hours to get any pain relief. I don't drive if taking Norco, but I feel like I could have. I have to try the yellow ones at daytime to judge. Anyone know which mfg is the yellow ones?

medicare does not pay either. Even with drug coverage paid for. Even Soma they do not pay for either. Drug coverage is a rip off.

Check into doing mail order meds through Express Scripts. They give you a 90-day supply. Best of luck.

Yes. I find that the biggest culprit is advantist. It says Watson on pill but these people took over Watson. And it's not only the pain meds. Every drug made by them are garbage.

The yellow pill seemed to help my back pain so much more. I now take 2 of the white one to get the same relief. When my pain is really severe, even 2 white ones doesn't help! I have never taken over 2 at a time even tho it would probably help when the pain is severe.
