Norco Forums (Page 12)

My sister found a pill with imprint z on one side and 7092 on the other. White with pink dots, oblong. ## I'm sorry, but so far, I've been unable to find anything matching this description. Where did she find it? I'm wondering if there's a possibility that it's a foreign medication. (Just the general location, I'm not asking you to post the exact location of your family, for instance if you live in California, there could be a chance that it's from Mexico.) Does anyone else recognize this tablet? I'll keep searching and post back, when I have information for you. ## Thank you. We actually live in nc ## This is a generic brand for norco 5-325 sold at wal-mart pharmacy. It is just as good as the white oblong pill with the ip109 on it. Just cheaper!!!! ## Wa...

I recently had a urine screen through my pain management dr whom I've been seeing for 8 years. I take 2 Norco 7.5 a day as prescribed, but had missed taking them the day before my test because I wasn't feeling well. Anyway, they did a immunoassay test through Millennium Health and it came back negative for the Norco. He said there weren't even any metabolites which makes it look that I haven't had them in a while, but I had taken one less than 48 hours before my test. I asked him to retest me, which he did. But said that even if I pass he has to lower my dose. This test was somewhat different than my first test. When I had the first test done, the technician or whatever had at least 20 urine samples on every surface of his office sitting on top of the paperwork that went...

What does "po q." mean and what does "prn" mean on my prescription? Rx Norco 5/325 #30- 1 po q. 12 hrs prn ## Hello, Jo Jo! How are you? PO Q stands for per orally every, so it is per orally every 12 hours as needed. Some places may also list it as per oral route, every 12 hours, as needed, according the NIH listings. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

We are all different. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache. What types of problems have you experienced from taking them? Do they just not relieve your pain, or are you having other issues?

Or if I take when will I get sick to my stomach please help me I'm in severe pain Mike can't see my doctor to the middle of I can't see my doctor until mid-December ## The ones from 2008 I'd trash but the ones from 2015 will have lost potency but shouldn't make you sick. I'd most def check with a pharmacist first just to be certain. ## According to reports by Harvard University's Medical School as well as the LA Times Newspaper, many medications can last anywhere from 15-40 years before degrading to such a point that renders it useless.

I believe the norco is 5mgs like every 4 to 6 hours as needed. She was aware that I take the oxycodone 10 4 times a day this was added for break thru pain and to keep ahead of the pain went to get script filled she (pharmacist) informed me that she would have to call surgeon and pain doctor to clear to fill this med. I'm in unbearable pain. The pain doc already knew I had informed him that I was having surgery and wanted to let him know she may prescribe other pain meds being I'm on a contract I did not want to break he understood. Vice-versa, I told surgeon about oxycodone still pharmacy didn't wanna fill? Said they called and was closed. Although I called and they we're there any help info would be greatly appreciated thanks. ## Have you tried telling your doctor's...

I take norco and trazodone at bedtime for back pain & insomnia. Now my doctor prescribed gabapentin for the nerve pain in my feet. Can I take them all at the same? ## Generally, it is advised that Gabapentin and Norco not be taken together, according to the NIH, because Gabapentin can increase the toxicity of the Hydrocodone in Norco. Otherwise, for you safety, it is said that your doctor should reduce your dose of Hydrocodone by 20 to 30%. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Gabapentin as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have been on norco 10-325 2-3x/day for about 3 yrs and gabapentin 800 4x/day (gradual dose increase over past 2 yrs). Last year, my insomnia got way out of control an...

It seems there is hardly any pain medication in my normally strong enough norco (10/325). Have they done something to it? Frustrated! ## They are weaker they took out the Tylenol and acetaminophen ## What are the markings on the tablets in question? If they are 10/325, they do still contain Tylenol/Acetaminophen, however you may have received tablets from a different manufacturer, which could also make a difference. Can you please post back and clarify? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

I have a prescription for Norco 4x a day, 120 pills total. The dr has written it for 20 day supply. When would be the soonest I could submit my refill? She wrote the refill for December 15th, last month I filled it on the 20th. Would I have to wait until the 20th again or can I submit it to CVS on the 15th? ## Anna, If the doc dispensed #120 with a sig. of one qid that's a 30 day supply. You'd have to wait 30 days from the filled on date so the 20th would be your available date. ## Do u get the norco 853's and 120 a month? I was wondering if i could ask my dr. to up my script from 90 to 120 a month because they dont seem to be working that good. Is this possible? ## @Craig - Yes, it is definitely possible. However.... It's solely up to the whit and whim of your doctor as...

It used to be 12 tablets of 10 mg norco . Now I am being told it is only 6 tablets. Does anyone know. ## Hello, Shayne! How are you? Yes, that is correct. New regulations were put in place last year that restrict how much of any medication can be prescribed, except in the case of people with terminal illnesses, such as those with stage 4 cancer. 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What diabetic pills look alot like Watson the shape even color

Question: In a pain management clinic for siatica and other complications from L4 and L5 herniations in the back. I tend to take my meds (norco 10/325) a little too soon than they give me. last had one a week and a half ago but have a couple left over (3). If they choose to give me a urine test to make sure I'm taking them, will I have a problem reaching a threshold they desire? Would It show up enough in my system if I took 2 the night before and another 4 hrs before the test? I'm no junkie, legitimate pain for a decade but my body gets used to them and I run into problems by taking too many from the pain being do darn bad. If anyone could give me a logical answer and not a crap shoot guess, it would be very appreciative. Thanks everyone ## I am happy to help, it's what I...

When you break a norco in half is it difficult? And is it possibly fake if it ends up breaking too easily? ## Hello, Warren! How are you? I've always known them to break easily and never had to use a pill cutter, but I suppose it can vary from manufacturer to manufacture. Can anyone else chime in? The FDA classifies this medication as 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 just broke a norco in half and it was kind of easy. Is it fake? ## My bf has 176 pills and they break easily in half. they look real but after he took 2 in the morning and 1 more in the afternoon he said he felt nothing like a m367 pill or Watson? Is it possibly fake or what? ## If the man...

I need to know if tests with instant ua cup results or lab testing can tell if ive been taking it as prescribed? ive been taking them for a month 1 every 12 hours except for a few days here and there ive had to take 1 more then prescribed because of very bad back pain. i know hydro/norco"s are in your system for 2-4 days but what about having taken them for a month? will my levels be higher and would they be able to tell i didnt wait the full 12 hours before taking another pill? Because 12 hours is a VERY long time when norcos half life peak is at 1.3 hours and are no longer helping pain after 4 hours. But i have a urine test in 2 weeks and im 1 day short on my meds, so can they tell by the instant result pee cup or the lab test they send to afterwards if ive been taking them as pre...

I was injured on the job back in 2008 and sustained a herniated disc. For many years I was able to obtain prescriptions for Norco to help with my back pain, but now I am unable to get Norco due to the severe restrictions placed on the health care industry to not prescribe pain medications. I had a private doctor who prescribed Norco for me and I switched to Kaiser because this doctor I was seeing moved. I have a legitimate case here in my opinion and would appreciate any help. The stupid doctors at Kaiser are only willing to prescribe Motrin or other medications which do absolutely nothing in terms of helping me with my daly pain. Please help me find a local doctor who will help me in this matter. Thank you!

I have been been on Norco for 4 yrs and am looking for a new doctor. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2009, and am looking for a do tor who will continue with this treatment. ## I may not have a doctor I can refer you to, but I can provide you with a couple links that may be of service to you in locating pain management doctors within your general area.

I have seen a neurologist for over 10 yrs. I suffer with severe headaches and fibromyalgia. My Dr has tried/prescribed me a couple of different things over time. I can't take Lyrical, i had a bad reaction, and I'm having trouble getting Celebrex which was effective. Walmart has had my script for 2 mo. and keep saying they need Dr. authorization. But my Dr. office said it has been authorized. I've been taking Norco 10 2-3 times a day, occasionally more depending on the severity of my pain. I would like to know if there is something else he can prescribe for me that is a little stronger and is there a time released medication? ## If the Celebrex helps and Wal-Mart is giving you hassles, then it might be a good idea to see if they can return your prescription, or obtain a new o...

I went to a pain management dr. I ve had hystorectomy and have been on 10mg / 325 norco. I moved back to florida from New Mexico. Having severe back problems urinary incontinence and etc I went to a Pcp. He gave me 5/325 120 count hydrocodone. Yesterday I went to pain management . Told him I was already on this and it wasn't working. He wrote me 90 7.5/325 and said that's what I needed to take. Get to pharmacy and pharmacy voids script per the doctors Orders. I told the truth. ? What's happening here ? Help! ## What isn't making sense to me here is that the doctor would write you the new prescription, then immediately tell the pharmacy not to fill it. Have you confirmed this with the doctor? Or are you just taking the word of the pharmacy? Sometimes pharmacies are guilty...
