(Newest replies first)

I'm taking percocet 10/650mg. I have (DDD), (Athritis), and the list goes on. I have a friend on Norco. Can you tell me what the difference is between them and the highest mg the norco comes in? THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Sounds like your tolerance has gone up. Be careful. I know many that went up the ladder and finally nothing helped but illicit drugs. :(

Medicine man, My name is Jeff and I have stage 4 cancer. they have already done one operation in Augusta, GA to remove the cancer in the floor of my mouth and took out 1/2 took out half of my jaw bone and removed 27 all of my teeth and 80 lymph nodes. when the blood work came back a week later they told me I have stage 4 t4 cancer in my thyroid and remove the rest of mt jaw bon and do a leg bone graft for a new jaw. They are going to remove it after my 35 treatments of radiation and 6 doses of chemo. I live in Valdosta GA and it is a 10 hour round trip drive. My question is what is the most powerful medication the pain specialist can give me long term? Fentanyl, Diludid, ect ect.. PLEASE get back to me soon.

Here is my question - If i take 2 Norco 10/325, is it better to take 1 Percocet 10/325? Are they the same?

Yeah I agree nerve pain should not be treated with opiates as first line treatment. I was on tramadol and norco for years. I did my own research and slowly took my self off the opiates. Still had horrible withdraw symptoms but did it. Now I take 1200 gabapentin 3x a day and feel so much better without the opiate fog! Please try other treatments before opiates. They will cause you more problems than relief.

I have stage four endometriosis and endometrial cancer. NSAIDS are the way that the doctors are use to treating stage one and two. But not stages three and four....Granted I'm in Illinois but I am able to obtain 100mg tramadol every 6hrs and Norco 10/325 every6 hrs....They want to shift me to an oxy containing product. But I take both the Norco and Tramadol. Like others stated you might have to find a small mom and pop pharmacy that will be able to get you the medicine you need for pain relief. The doctor has a system that will RED flag any meds including pain meds that can't be combined due to side effects.....hope this helps....

I agree with you! I have nerve pain and those opiod pain killers were not helping. I take bupropion which helps tremendously. People with nerve pain end up needing more and more opiod medicine as they realize they can't get relief from nerve pain.

I'm 71 female, fell Oct 2015 took all tests until 12/9 MRI showed colapsed femer. They called it avascular narcosis, bone died for lack of blood. Finally had right hip replacement 3/21/16. Now 60+ days doing really good with PT for hip now I have lot of back pain x-rays showed spine curved & pelvis tipped down towards new right hip! Seems it took such a long time for the actual surgery (they won't say but it's what I think) there is nothing that can be done! The percocet works better for me but I'm having issues trying to get the doctor to prescribe. I have appointment with pain management doctor for a possible ESI which does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling. I'm overweight but since last Oct have lost 50 lbs. 5'2" & 180 now & still working on losing. It's just the pain which my primary care Dr said I have a low pain tollerance (my son said she called me a wimp!!!) Yet after PT got down to 1 - 10/325 Norco 8 to 10 hrs between doses but now I'm back to 4-5 hrs because of my back pain. I'm sitting on split pillow so my tail bone not getting too much pressure but I'm so piseed off at this outcome.

PLEASE, DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN 3000MG OF ACETAMINOPHEN IN ONE 24 HOUR PERIOD. YOU WILL KILL YOUR LIVER IF YOU MAKE A HABIT OF THAT. AS A PHARMACY STUDENT, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS

I have always heard percocet is stronger but I am like you...Norco works better and longer for me. So maybe it has to do with the way our body handles them as oppose to other people. Just be sure to watch how much acetaminophen you take all together including sinus Tylenol etc.

Thank you I been taking Norco 10/325 for the past 8 years. And I have been taking 5 to 6 pills per day. I went to see a pain management today and I was worried because he gave me percocet 10/325 and I was worried because he gave me two pills per day. I still don't know if they will work because I haven't gotten yet. But reading this gave me hope. Thank you
