Norco 10/325 M367

ok so i have a question on the M367 pills. First, I have taken Vicodin about two times in the past. First time i broke my left ankle 3 years ago and got a prescription for the 5mg/(not sure on the acetaminophen) Vicodin at qty 20 pills. Then one year ago I had two wisdom teeth pulled and got a prescription for 5mg Vicodin like 15 pills. I say that to point out the fact that i dont think i have any built up tolerance.. I dont take any regular medicine, then or now.When i took the Vicodin, both times, the pain was gone in 20-30 minutes and i was full of energy ( one pill a day) .. SO to my question... now i have a herniated disc pushing on a nerve root and some stenosis clamping down on a different nerve root.. all verified through MRI.... I got to the pain management Doc and he gives me Norco 10/325 M367 and im like hmmm these will send me through the roof,,, so i took a half a pill..... then 2 hrs later took the other half,,,, hmm nothing..... 2 hrs later took a whole pill..... pain finally went down from about an 8 to a 3.... so it did work but WHY do i have to take soo many????AND it lasted about 2 hours.... so i plan on telling the doc to give me something stronger OR ( after researching) should i try another brand??? I did find a pharmacy that has the Qualitest in stock OR should i get the Name Brand Pills????

Hello, Flats! How are you?

The dosage of Acetaminophen in these tablets has been lowered, they are not only available with a maximum of 325mgs per dose, so that might be what's causing the problem, if the ones you took in the past had a higher amount in them.

Alternatively, it could just be that your pain is worse, so this just isn't enough to handle it, anymore.

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.

I think you're on the right track, speak to your doctor about it and explore your other options.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Good luck with that. My pain doc just evicted me from his practice. I was there for the refill of my meds and they did a U/A. It came back negative for hydrocodone. Therefore they got the dumb idea that I am selling it. What??!! The reason the U/A was negative is because I ran out of it after two weeks. The new M367 does little if anything for me. I told them this multiple times. Oh well.

That's not the only reason why it didn't work. Mallincrodt, makes the one with the M on it. they r generic. Generic manufactures and all manufactures of medicine can very the active ingredient by 20 percent. I learned this when I noticed this on several occasion. Not just with pain medicine. Plus some binders help or may hinder the absorption and the time absorbed. I'm not referring to time release medicines.
