Percocet Vs Norco (Page 8)

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!

I had knee replacement. The 5 mg Percocet did nothing. I would take one every couple of hours. By mistake the doc gave me a 10 at first follow up. Next follow up I said I was doing great and had already cut the drug usage a lot. Then he filled a 5mg. I figured it out. I would take a 10mg every 8 hours. I was taking a 5mg every 3 hours. When I stopped Percocet. I did not drop down to a 5 I went on Norco. No idea but the 5 do nothing for me. With the 5 I was taking 40 mg a day with the 10 30mg. My body seems to like the timed released part better. So ask your doc to try that.

I have been taking Norco 10mg for 3 years. Are Percocet 10mg the same thing? I am worried about having withdrawals from the Norco.

I experienced the same situation. I live in Florida as well and it is very difficult to find a pharmacist to fill these types of medications. I have had pharmacist literally throw my prescription away !! I of course followed up with complaints to corporate. After several months of using the same pharmacy and having to jump hoops for them I am now able to have my prescriptions filled and my doses were half of what you take. Go in the pharmacy that you use talk to the pharmacist, find out what they would need from you or your dr to get them filled . It's very frustrating, embarrassing, and time consuming but if it makes things easier for you do it . I definitely feel your pain

I have progressive multiple sclerosis , have had it for 28 years and my pain is steadily getting worse. Have tried everything. Now it's hard to get anything! ',cause all these people doing. Methadone seemed to help the best. Is methadone stronger than Percocet 5mg-325 Tylenol?& What about white pills uo3? Everyone says uo3's work as good as Percocet 10-325 what r they? They do look like the perks I used to get. Before I ask my doctor I need to know. Myself I have not had a script for uo3's my friend swears they're as good as Percocet 10/325. Please help me out.

Re: Medicine Man (# 1)
if you are going to school to be a pharmacist your spelling is horrendous and if you are still in school it is pretty bold to be online giving medical advice to people, especially saying that a medication is "better" because it is stronger. That is not necessarily true. Due to the tremendous potential for addiction, it is ALWAYS better to use the lowest dosage possible for pain relief than to just jump in and recommend taking something that is stronger just because you may be able to get it.... just saying.

I cant answer your question. But please don't apologize for your weight or feel the need to explain why your weight is what it is. We are all fighting our own deamons (obviously, we're here). Be the best you and stop apologizing for it.

Try going to a pain management doctor. I did and it sure helped. They can even call in Or electronically file your prescription without you having to go in and pick it up. My doctor is in Thousand Oaks which is one hour north of LA.

You have to see a pain specialist/doctor. Internal medicine or other doctors won’t prescribe that or not for a extended period of time not even ER doctors do.
