#NORCO MEDICATION PLUS#

Back then the bad effects were not really known, so my Doctor started me on two 5mg a day, which withing a few years became 6 -40mg oxycontin plus 10 10mg Percocet a day. I am 70 years old and was started on Oxycodone about thirty years ago. I think, they want my pain doctor approach this with me, but he also just says, wean yourself off!!!! My other doctors do not want anything to do with it. One always reads about overdosing about it, but what to do and where to get help, nobody says. Has anybody weaned off the hydro successful, after about 8 years? It put me in a very lonely, depressed state and nobody talks about it. Wish me luck! I want my life back, and not be tired or in pain all the times. But my life is not the same anymore, and I really hope, I can be successful with the weaning off. My doc says, I am dependent on the hydrocodone, not addicted.

And I did start with two pills and then was Never thought, it was that dangerous, otherwise I would never started it. But with all the news about hydrocodone, I really hope, I can do it. But I decided to wean myself off the hydrocodone, and I can tell you, it is not easy. So I did not take it.Īnd sure enough a few weeks ago, my pain doctor had me take a urine test, and could tell, what was in the blood. Now my children are after me to take some marijuana, since it is legal in our state of California.īut I also found out, that my doc can not prescribe the hydrocodone, if I am also taking marijuana, since it is prohibited by federal law. I also have trouble sleeping, and wake up every 2 hours, either having to go to the bathroom or with a severe stomach pain, caused by constipation, which also is caused by the pain meds. Because of chronic pain in my neck, caused by arthritis and also a car accident, I am also taking Hydrocodone10/325 for the last 8 years. At this point, being a somewhat stubborn person, I'm not willing to give up my newly regained increased quality of daily life. He gave me an ultimatum: one or the other, but you can't do both (due to DEA laws, etc). For the first time in the years I've been taking Norco, my Dr had me do a urinalysis, results, of course, showing both the hydrocodone AND the THC in the pot. I'm waking fully rested & ready to take on my days.

So, Norco for pain, pot for sleep has been my regimen for about the last 15 months, and I've been feeling 25 years younger no pain, nearly full 8 hours straight a night of sleep. Now that it's 'legal', I started taking edibles as a sleep aid have not noticed that the marijuana has had any pain relief for me, but as a sleep aid, it's been wonderful. In the sense of full disclosure, I have done pot recreationally since the early '70s, but decreasingly in the last 10 years or so. California in the meantime had legalized medical marijuana. Can only seem to sleep an hour or two at a time, having to get up for bathroom runs numerous times a night. The last couple of years, I've been having trouble sleeping. The Norco has worked wonderfully at relieving the pain. Another 15 years down the road, I started having lower back, hip & knee pain.

After 15 years of taking 3200mg of Ibuprofen a day for achilles tendonitis (which damaged my kidneys…before the discovery of ibuprofen's affect on them in about the year 2000 or so), my Dr switched me to Norco (10mg Hydrocodone, 325 Tylenol…sorry can't seem to spell the generic name).
