Oxycodone vs norco
Common Questions and Answers about Oxycodone vs norco
oxycontin
Norco is better than most because it only has 325 of Tylenol Vs. 500 or 650. To my knowledge hydrocodone which is the narcotic agent in Norco (I take it too) does not come in a tablet all on it's own. In order to get rid of the Tylenol you have to move up to the drug oxycodone which is in drugs like Percocet they make oxycodone tabs without Tylenol.
Question is why are you so worried about your liver? Is your liver already compromised?
I have been taking Oxycodone 30mg for almost 3 years. Started on 5mg and my dr increased over the years. I have two hernitated discs in my back & my pain at time was so awful. I finally received a epidural and starting to feel better. Saw my dr today and he stopped my oxycodone and put me on Butrans patch 20mg. It has not been 24 hrs yet and I am starting to get ill. Will this get better? He told me I would be fine, but I feel super sick.
I was looking at my test results I called the pharmacy about the Norco if it had a form of oxycodone in it. She said no it has hydrocodone. That I knew. But my Dr. wrote me a letter that he no longer wants to see me, I have to find a new Dr. But I looked up Norco vs Hydrocdone and they are not the same pill nor are they related. He wrote a rude letter, and kicked me to the curb for nothing. He needs to know his meds.
I had a Maligram two years ago they hit a nerve, the pain ran down the right hip all the way down the right leg and into my r foot, it thru me over the table, I am on Lyrica, gabapentin and Oxycodone, my back surgeon wants me to take Norco, but the primary has me on Oxy, 5/325 Norco 10/325, I want to wean myself off the oxy, so if I took oxycodone one day and Norco the next, would there be a reaction?
I have been averaging 3 tabs of 10/325 Norco a day. I take it for numerous reasons...spinal stenosis - but it helps all of my arthritis. I stopped 2 days ago and hurt all over...I do this even when on the meds sometimes but the meds will pull me up. If I increased to 4 a day I am fairly pain free. But my Dr. won't do that so I am trying to just stop. I have fibromyalgia and I started with 3 tabs of 7.
A LORTAB is basically Vicodin (hyddrocodone), whereas a PERCOCET is a more natural opiate, also called oxycodone. Because oxy is less synthetic, it tends to be a bit stronger. Both meds contain the opiate (either hydro or oxy) and acetaminophen (tylenol).
Both are habit forming when used improperly, or for long periods of time.
Hope that helps.
I've never experienced quitting before now but even tho my doc Is oxycodone 15mg I also take adderals which I didn't know until recently that they were addicting but I had no problem with stopping them as we'll as valuims and restorils. I can stop taking them with no problem.
Roxicodone and Percocet have the same narcotic - oxycodone. The difference between the Roxi and Perc is the Tylenol, which is found in the Percocet.
Will the Perc work better? That depends on the person, honestly. They say coupling Tylenol with Oxy (or Hydrocodone) increases the effectiveness of the narcotic. Pharmacologically, I'm sure there is a valid reason to couple the two, but the reality is that i probably depends on the person using them.
So your Perc 7.5/325 is 7.
Help! I have been taking 30mg oxycodone for at least 2 years. I am at the point where I think if I try to detox it will kill me. I take between 8 and 12 a day! Yes a day. These are the instant release kind. I am ready to be done with these evil bastards. I just don't have any idea where to begin.
The best thing to do is talk to your doctor about your pain levels and how it's affecting your life. Then ask if you are a candidate for a long-acting medication and go from there. That way you're not asking for a specific medication, just for the doctor's expertise in providing you with pain relief.
When I was put on oxycodone 30mg it was 3x a day with 1 norco for bedtime. The reason being that oxycodone can give some people trouble with sleeping.
Today I was stupid and decided not to take ANY norco. but I did take percocet. So I took a percocet mid morning, and didnt need anything for the rest of the day. And then 24 hours went by and I hadnt had a norco...I still feel fine. But I know its cuzz that percocet is worse then everything! So that was dumb. I kinda liked feeling ok for the entire day without needing anything, that was nice. but I knwo it was wrong of me to do that. Still, tapered from norco big time! but had a big time crutch.
Hi Everyone, I was just wondering if Norco, 10-325 is easier to withdraw from than Oxycontin 80mg. My friend was taking 2 oxycontin 80mg a day and told her doctor ( they were not prescribed) and she told the doctor that the only thing stopping her from quitting oxycontin was the horrible withdrawals. He put her on Norco and told her to wean down with those, and that going cold turkey off Norcos ( once she's weaned down to 5 a day) is easier than w/d from oxycontin.
I have a lonstanding prescription for norco 10-325. My doctor authorises 180 pills a month. I use to take it only when I needed it but when my wife was diagnosed with cancer last year I started abusing them for relief from emotional pain. My wife also has pain pills. She has 80mg oxycontin that she takes twice a day as well as 5mg oxycodone that she takes for breakthrough pain.
Just a quick correction...Percocet is oxycodone with Acetaminophen, and Percodan is Oxycodone with Aspirin, not Tylenol. There are other, less common combinations, like Vicoprofen, which would be Hydrocodone with Ibuprofen instead of Tylenol (Acetaminophen).
Vicodin, Norco, Lortab are all Hydrocodone.
Dilaudid comes both in oral and injectable forms, with doses starting at usually 1 mg.
Fentanyl patches typically start at 25 mcg/hr (micrograms). I have seen lower doses, 12.
The lowest amount of tylenol that I know of that comes with hydrocodone would be in Norco tablets. They contain 10mg of the hydrocodone and only 325mg of tylenol. Maybe talk to your doctor about switching you to oxycodone instead? Oxycodone comes in tablet form that's just pure oxycodone, it has no tylenol or acetaminophen in it at all. It's stronger than hydrocodone, too, so the 5mg tablet (the smallest one they make) might even work as well for you as the 7.5mg vicodin.
