There was breakthrough pain several times a year, when pain was so acute that there was inflammation and muscle spasms, and uncontrolled vomiting, and weakness. I also went to the chiropractor at least 3 times a week (with no insurance coverage). Before I wound up on pain management treatment, I had been taking upwards of 24 ibuprofen (200mg), per day. At the beginning there was some drowsiness, but now the only drowsiness accompanies the pain I feel if I'm later than 6-7 hours taking my next dose. But the 10mg Norco doesn't have an ibuprofen substitution for acetaminophen. I can do without the acetaminophen part of the pill, because acetaminophen has never worked for pain management for me. I'm now up to 10mg hydrocodone, 325mg acetaminophen. Dosage started at 5mg hydrocodone potency, 3x/day. I've been taking Norco for almost 10 years. I have 3 herniated discs in my neck, one at the end of my spine, almost underneath my skull. I can't change the 'Reason for taking Norco' from 'Cough'. The medication makes you extremely sick, lethargic and it appears as though there is no pain medication in it at all, which means absolutely no pain relief. From my own personal experience, as well as others I have spoken to, the new white pills from Mall, Actavis, etc., are very bad. Watson is no longer manufacturing this medication. I previously mentioned, I use the generic hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10/325, a yellow oblong pill, which is manufactured by Qualitest or Par and previously by Watson. Important note, be aware of the manufacturer for your medication. As long as you use it as prescribed it can be very beneficial for your pain. Many times I've gone long periods of time without taking it and I've been fine.

I've never had any side affects or concerns about withdrawal. This medication usually works great for 4 - 6 hours. This medication has been very helpful in addition to using ibuprofen for break through pain. I've had brain and spinal cord surgery, seizures, severe osteoarthritis and nerve pain/damage. I have a condition call Chiari Malformation. I've been using hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10/325, a yellow oblong pill, for many years.
