I've been taking Norco 10/325 since it wasnt working doctor put me on Percocet 10/325 and they are making me so sleepy. Does any one know why? The norcos made me energetic and I wasn't hoping to achieve that with Percocets since they're stronger. Tia

Hello, Mar! How are you?

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic and drowsiness is listed as a normal side effect of them. It's actually the energy that is an oddity that rarely occurs in most people that take them.

They also carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause other side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
