Is There A Stronger Hydrocodone Than 10/325?
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I have tried the oxycodone 10/325 and they make me sick to my stomach. I have been on the Hydrocodone for 8 yrs and they are not working anymore. I am allowed 4 a day and the pain is not easing for me anymore.

I have the same problem, so I take 1-1/2 but then I run out. What don't the doctors & insurance companies understand. If they can't fix you and expect you to work then they should come up with a plan to help.

I've been on oxycodone 10-325 for 8 months and mine stopped working I have a herniated L 5 L 4 and the SI joint is pinching my nerves in my lower back I to was two on only 4 a day they stopped working and I talked to my doctor any told me he couldn't prescribe no higher dose because he couldn't so I started to take a little more and I ended up taking my month supply in a 12 days I was taking 2 every 4 to 5 hours and I ran out so I called my doctor and he said you know that could kill you I ended up in emergency room for A pain shot in that doctor told me this is not your fault your doctor should have recommended that I see pain management and that he is to blame because when you're on them too long they lose effectiveness so now I get to see pain management and they can give me a little bit stronger dose for my pain

First a little history. I was a drug addict and abuser, narcotics were always my drug of desire, for many years. Those days finally ended for good in my early 50's. I am 59, have the usual physical ailments of a person of age whose body is somewhat noticeably breaking down along with HIV and HCV which I just finished the treatment for and it looks like it worked. For my slipped discs which are quite painful I have come to learn, and accept, one thing. Nothing short of opiates is going to take away the back aching completely. I was taking Vicodin 5mg and shortly increased to 7.5mg with 325mg acetaminophen 6Xdaily. My last doctor visit was last week and very seriously asked him if he had a problem with me increasing to the 10mg Vicodin 10mg/325 acetaminophen 4x daily. Nothing is ever going to relieve the pain totally, but for all the years (teens through 50s) of taking narcotics and other non-narcotic drugs, they do relieve it to the point where I am functional without being drugged up. I'm grateful for the relief, I accept that there will always be back discomfort thank you very much mom for the headaches, hearing, teeth and let's see. Oh, yeah, how to be greatful for the good and not dwelling on the bad. And one more thank you.

hello tammy, Just ready read your questions pertaining to why your is not working like it used to. I to have been having the similar problems. My chronic pains stems back 40 years ago from traumatic car injury and as you age and arthritis closes in on you , you develop worse pain. Yes My dr. has had me on the 10-325 hydrocodone for the past 4 years and I have found they are not working as good as they used to, instead of taking them every 4 hours I find myself having to take them every 2-3 hrs. so I need to find something that will help in stretching the periods of taking them and they actually work. I work a VERY outside physical job so am hoping I can talk my doctor into maybe something with oxycodone instead of hydrocodone

Hello, Tammy! How are you? I am very sorry about the problems you're having.

And no, this is the strongest dosage available, now.

Have you consulted your doctor? You may need to switch to a different medicate to regain pain control.

This is 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.
