m concerned about my liver. My doctor refuses to put me on hydrocodone with a lower dose of acetaminophen. I've been on this medication for 10 years-again, rarely even taking 1 full pill a day. It is hard, because I make myself suffer through the pain in order to keep my liver going. I don't have an addictive personality and throughout the course of this, I have not formed an addiction to the pain medication (which I find a blessing).
Norco has three different strengths (5mg hydrocodone/325mg acetaminophen, 7.
The problem with HCV and vicodin abuse is going to weigh heavily on the acetaminophen component rather than the hydrocodone. Opioids are fairly liver friendly relative to long term high dose acetaminophen. If you can obtain straight hydrocodone rather than the combo, you might be better off; no one should be ingesting more than 2 grams acetaminophen/day.
I suggest that if you are taking a narcotic that you have the smallest possible dose of acetaminophen prescribed with it. I know that hydrocodone come with a 325mg dose of acetaminophen. It is just best to be safe and as good to our life sustaining organs as possible.
However should it happen that the the narcotics with acetaminophen are removed you can rest assured that they manufactures will be quick to produce these same drugs without the addition of acetaminophen.
I came across a bottle of vicodin 5mg hydrocodone/500mg acetaminophen on thursday night. That night I ended up taking about 12 beers, 6 shots, and 7 of the vicodin. I was irresponisible that night and was wondering if my system would be cleared of that by now. Looking back on it im just thinking thats a lot for my body to handle in one night. Tonight I just wanted to enjoy my standard saturday night (drink some beers with a few friends).
I have a prescription for hydrocodone 5/500. I have been taking a 1/2 of 7.5/750 nightly. Will a urine or hair drug test be able to tell the difference in my taking 1/2 of 7.5/750 versus my prescription for 5/500?
Hydrocodone can be combined with Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for pain. Both preparations have similar outcomes for pain relief.
This is the first time I've ever tried this I took 5 i took 5 hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5-325 and I'm worried about over dosing. Any answers you have can help me. I will never try this again. They weren't mine I took them to get high. I'm really scared.
m really surprised you can still get the 500mg tablets as the FDA ruled on the Acetaminophen in pain meds two years ago now...Thankfully none of the Oxycodone pills come with that high of a dosage of it..
Oxycodone is "technically" stronger than Hydrocodone but it all depends on the person...Some people swear they are helped more by the Hydro...
For me...I use the OxyIR 5mg pills that don't have any Acetaminophen...
Hello. I was recently diagnosed with inactive/latent tuberculosis and was given Isoniazid 300 mg to take for 6 months. At the clinic, they warned me that isoniazid is processed mainly by the liver and that drinking alcohol could cause liver damage in combination and should be avoided. I have no problem not drinking, but I take norco on a regular basis for chronic pain and I'm concerned that the acetaminophen in the norco's will combine with the isoniazid and cause severe liver damage.
I have been prescribed hydrocodone/acetaminophen 7.5/750. I usually break them in half or take 1 throughout the day as prescribed but have been told to take two in severe instances and did so before going to sleep tonight. At one point I woke up and was in pain and took two more without thinking or realizing that it hadn't been much more than an hour. Within an hour the pain was gone but I have been awake ever since with worry over taking so much acetaminophen.
The vicodin (hydrocodone) has acetaminophen as well. I'm not sure about the percoset, I've never had it before. BUT, if it weren't for the hydrocodone, I would not be able to work or get through even a day at home unless I lay curled up on the couch or in bed thanks to FMS and MPS. When I have bouts with extreme MPS in my back however, the pain pills don't help a whole lot. Just take the edge off barely.
May God bless you with relief soon.
Hello Texax,
Dis-spine has offered you some good suggestions. Don't be overly concerned with the recent "scare" you are hearing about acetaminophen (Tylenol) in thre media. They don't provide all the facts.
The real concern is not the few lortabs you take but any additional acetaminophen you might add to your system. Pick up a bottle of cold medicine, cough suppressant, sleep aid or a similar product and read the label. Most of them contain acetaminophen.
As always Marycarmel has offered some good information. The concern of the Hydrocodone is the dosage of the Acetaminophen (Tylenol). My Acetaminophen in the Hydrocodone that I take is at 325mg per tablet and my Physician is comfortable with that dose. Again, it's not the milligrams of the Hydrocodone that is of concern, it's the milligrams of the Acetaminophen (Tylenol).
I am sorry to hear that you will have pain for years with the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia.
question is how to get my doc to understand? I was told that i should be on Oxycontin with no acetaminophen stuff...help??? I know it wont take the pain away...I'm just looking to be able to "deal" with it...but I understand that I'm digesting way too much Tylenol stuff???
I just started on Zohydro ER because the idea of not taking acetaminophen with hydrocodone was tempting. (There's a Black Box warning about the acetaminophen in Vicodin).
The first day I started the Z. (about 5 days ago) I got less pain relief and much more pain than I had with 5/375 Vicodin! That's seems totally wrong but it happened. The dose of the Z is the same as I got for the number of 5/375s I took per day.
Anyone else on Z. and how do you like it? Any side effects?
Norco is the same active ingredient as Vicodin and Lortab (hydrocodone), but the Tylenol (acetaminophen) content is lower at 325mg than the 500mg in Lortab and Vicodin.
hydrocodone being the narcotic in all of them..so really not a trade name...lortab is the highest i believe in tylenol...not sure about the content in the other 2 as down south lortab or lorcet is the one they prescribe...
4 grams is max with hcv some docs say 2 grams max. lortab has acetaminophen and hydrocodone in it. what are the reasons for using the risks and benefits should be taken into consideration. if for pain maybe downgrade to oxycodone does not have the acetaminophen in it. there are some hollistic alternatives for pain management I have total compression and use analgesics on and off for pain. if it is an addiction problem this should be dealt with if she is going to tx.
This was still approved after my dx of cirrhosis, but I was uncomfortable with continuing the daily doses of acetaminophen and got my Rx for Norco (10mg hydrocodone with acetaminophen) switched to 5mg tablet of Oxymorphone, a narcotic without any acetaminophen, just to play it safer. I've found that none of these narcotic pain meds help much with the joint pain, not like they do with the nerve pain from the spinal damage.
