Generic Norco M367 10/325 (Page 7) (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?

Ronin Thank You so much for finding that address. What you wrote says it like it is and I will be finding out today who I need to send it to. Hopefully all of us who are affected by this travesty will help by letting them know that this is a serious issue. Thank you again!

Great! This is a good start. If we sit back and remain silent it will continue. That website Ronin provided is easy to use. I am working on sending John Garamendi our Rep for the 3rd Congressional District. Thanks Beagle, and good luck to your friend Gail, wouldn't it be something if they realized what they are doing is WRONG.

This might be worth reading. The time-line seems to accompany the scenario as well:

I have had both positive and negative experiences with Mallinckrodt 10's, the negative being about 8 months ago and the positive beginning and persisting around two months ago..

So you can get a 90 day supply via mail order with Norco 10/325? I thought a new script was needed each month, or is mail order exempt from this rule?

Ayashi, thank you for your post, while entertaining, it was inaccurate. This is not my first rodeo. I have multiple chronic diseases, have for many years, that I can only hope to find solutions to take the edge off of the pain.You express that calling a pharmacy would have "saved me from my scenario", many if not most pharmacy's in my area do not give out information over the phone regarding controlled substances. Not regarding its availability, brand or quantity. I am being my own advocate as no one else is willing to take on that role, doctor nor pharmacist. The problem is not of advocacy, it is laws that are enacted in order to protect people from abuse but are not necessary, rushed to a vote, and drafted by lay persons without knowledge in medicine, substance abuse or pain management. Look at Sudafed, did Methamphetamine producers use it to cut Methamphetamine in its production, Yes. How did our government deal with the Methamphetamine problem? By having us sign for it at the pharmacy, show ID and only be able to purchase a very small amount. If anyone has year round allergies, they know what I'm talking about. The law is overkill, Methamphetamine makers have found another substance and we innocents pay the price, as we do now in this new schedule change for Hydrocodone. I wish you all of the best in your pain management and I'm glad to hear you have found something that works for you. My only wish in posting on this site, is finding this for myself and others with words of encouragement and possible solutions. Many people here feel they do not have a voice, hopefully they can find it within themselves or through the inspiration from others, peace.

No, mail order is not exempted, as far as I know because my insurance company ran through a sample order for 90 days and said they would cover it. Not only that, but it is only $10 copay and free express delivery (signature required). I got the pkg. today and because my doctor wrote "Qualitest brand only, no substitutions" that is exactly what I got. You have to allow about 2 weeks from the time you send in the prescription to the time you get it, so plan ahead. I am most pleased. Our local pharmacy indicated they would no longer fill my script for Norco because they were not making enough money on it. Now, all my scripts are mail order, so the local pharmacy is SOL, so to speak. I actually wrote an op-ed for the local paper about our (only) pharmacy and how they pick and choose who and how they want to serve us. Apparently, I am not alone, as other people are jumping on the op-ed bandwagon. Also, major insurance carrier Blue Cross (Anthem), which is who we have, is now requiring that we use Express Scripts only. Looks like our local pharmacy may be singing a different tune now. Also, re: Watson brand, a friend of mine just got his Norco filled at Costco in San Diego, CA and he did get Watson. The reclassification of this and other drugs has made life miserable for those of us who actually need the medication to function because of the illegal drug use of many. Seems that we have enough to deal with having the pain issues, let alone trying to find a pharmacy who will fill the brand and strength we need.

I'm curious as to who discontinued your Qualitest yellow Norcos? I just got some last week here in Mich.

Unfortunately, our small local pharmacy refused to fill it because of the amount that I have to take, and because they weren't making enough money on it. Well, now all my scripts are sent mail order and they have lost my business 100%.

Sometimes if you take a smaller dose of Tylenol with the m367 it will help amplify pain relief doctors do advise against it because of the Tylenol epidemic and people taking to much of it but it will help you when you get these bad cheap generic pills that don't come close to touching the pain

the one with the specs in the pill is called lortab aspirin and vicodin that's why it might be upsetting your stomachViko profen is the bestbut it also cost the most that is vicodin and ibuprofen325 tylenol 500 Tylenol which contains 5 7.5 and 10 milligram vicodinif your insurance pays try the vicoprofen 7.5 very expensive but the best best regards

something to consider is that different injuries cause different pain. I broke 4 discs during pregnancy and for fifteen years I went through all the hoops. had two steroid epidermal injections and was taking 15mg Percocet, 4 x daily. my point is that I am always in pain from my back but when I had 47 stitches on my hand, 10mg would stop pain. nerve pain is so much harder to treat. ask your doctor to get you a tens unit for home. core strengthening is the best for disc and back pain. shot of torodol helps me when I cant walk or move.

tell your doctor that you are concerned about all the acetaminophen your taking, it's very hard on your liver and ask him about compounded pain meds. straight oxy or hydrocodone with no acetaminophen. works sooo much better.

The most helpful answer I have found is that the generic brands may contain alternate binders, which mean they release into your system much more rapidly, making them not last as long. By law, they all have the exact same strength opioid. It actually makes sense!!

Yes. Sam's Club is awesome. I got switched to 20 mg. oxycodone and of course no pharmacy in town had it in stock except Sam's Club. My ID was expired, so the cashier said I could not get them. but the pharmacist was cool and told her to go ahead and process the order. For everyone on pain management I suggest you ask your doctor to switch you to oxycodone without tylenol. It has much better pain relief no matter what company it comes from. Good Luck!

Flats.
MS Contin is time release and you need norcos or 15 mg Roxis for breakthrough pain. I hated the time release Oxycontin because they come on strong (hot flashes. uptightness, general wave of menapause syptoms) so I think it's better to get IR oxycodone so your pain is relieved without the unpleasantness of time release meds coming on when you don't need them and no relief whenyou do. Good luck. Jillady

Midwest,

Both Walgreens and CVS sell only Activis 853 but I looked at my pills and they are small football shaped and the pill is solid on one side and the other side says Watson 853. They were giving me Mallinckrodt before these. I ask for a different generic and they always say they only stock one kind. I do not think they are very strong.

I never had any issues with any of the generic hydrocodone tabs. I used most, including the one with M367. I actually liked that one. The little yellow football shaped one is dense and hard. It takes too long to dissolve. But other than that, no problems. If one has to take 3 at a time, there's a bigger problem than pill strength. The body is building up a resistance.

If a pharmacist refuses to fill a valid script for Norco or any controlled substance they are to be reported to the FDA. It is illegal. Get on Google and search you will find legal cases against pharmacists who are discriminating against chronic pain patients.

Too bad they are probably not aware that they cannot send people away. it is also their duty to keep supplies in stock. Can you imagine going to a grocery store that has no food?
