Percocet Vs Norco (Page 3)

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!

You are wrong about why the government is controlling Dr's prescribing narcotics. Its NOT because adults can't keep kids out of their med cabinets. Its because of the adults that are abusing and selling narcotics like Percocet and norco. Those are the ones who are making it hell on those who have a legitimate reason for taking them.

Just stop eating!! I was once over weight. I weighed 265lbs. And I quit stuffing my face for 2 years. I lost 95lbs and I am 170. The reason people are over weight is NOT because they don't exercise. It is because they see food as a treat, or an activity. Stop looking at food like an event. It is just to stay alive. Eat healthy and eat as little calories as you can. Bulemia and Anorexia are much safer disorders than being obese. I would rather see people purging and losing all those life threatening pounds than stay obese. When a medical emergency happens, overweight people die. The people who die from bulemia and anorexia are people who have body dysmorphic syndrome. That is when they see fat in the mirror when they are actually very skinny. Unless you have this, eating disorders are non-addictive practices that can be stopped at any time. I'm probably going to get blasted for saying all of this but in truth, fat people almost always stay fat. So again I'd rather see the lesser evil than the greater one. I work in the emergency room. The people who die from emergencies are the fat ones. It just prevents the body from healing and limits the physician from doing a good job at interventions.

So if I was taking norco 10/325 and now on Percocet 5/325 I need more Percocet to get pain relief? I'd take 3 norco and it helped so should I take 4 Percocet?

That's f***ed up. I used to be 385 lbs and now I'm 175 lbs. And I'm 5"10, female. I lost weight because I was sick with pancreatic cancer..I wasn't able to hold food down. When I was far I didn't have any problems. Not all fat people are greedy, they might have a thyroid problem. I see a lot of drunks and druggies die in the er, not fat people and I'm always in the hospital

Blue: Don't know ur age, and I can't say for you. I'm 66. Sounds like you have a lot going on, and suggest you get in to see your doctor asap. By the list of your meds,...it seems like your mixing n matching similar drugs for pain there. Dangerous for overdose. Definitely combining all those opiates is not good. I have ptsd-veteran, ridiculopathy from 2 necks fusions, lumbar damage that goes into my Rt leg with nerve pain. I'm taking Latuda, desipramine for psych n depression, and using percocet 4x a day for pain. Norco added to my depression so I changed it after 5 yrs. ER percocet is oxycontin, and I hate to start that. I can regulate my intake to incl high n lows for now. Morphine, Kadian, Fentynol patches etc....., I did not like the side affects, and made me dopey all the time. I take lorazepam at nite only, for sleep. I am able to manage pain and do things like fishing, to keep me active. I also went thru a detox cleanse of sorts, changing my metabolism and cleaning out my body with Isagenix. High does of B12's, Its like a weight loss/cleanse program. Trying to eat better etc. I know I'm dependent on the pain meds, but, not addicted to them. Because I never take more than 4 a day-regardless, as I stay vigilant with it. The mind plays tricks on a person using the pain meds. with the highs n lows. If you could handle a detox and start over again, I'd certainly suggest it. Depends on the degree of your pain condition I suppose. Sometimes the opiates will create the pain condition. Separating the two is difficult. Taking it to feel good, or taking it to stop pain, and feel good from the pain block. Tricky decision, and only the self can determine. Unless you are out of control taking into the 12-15 a day range.

I am taking perc 10/325 now. Just switched from norco 10/325 and get more relief now.

I have several health issues and I'm pain half of the time. I am in LA. Los Angeles is hard to get a doc to give you Percocet. Norco is standard here and most places now. Some doctors at cedars will prescribe perc like mine did. Be honest and tell the doctor you're taking the other and not getting any relief and that your body has built a tolerance. I am honest and when I am they tend to help me out more.

Percocet is Oxycodone. It's stronger than Norco, which is Hydrocodone like Lortab. Both are now schedule 2. Until recently, only Percocet was schedule 2. But factors such as abuse, led to Hydrocodone being put in that schedule.

Now that they are in the same schedule, I don't see why your Dr. would not mind. Percocet is stronger and has different side affects. It will constipate you more than Hydrocodene. My Dr. switched me.

I know this forum is old but I couldn't help but comment on the fact that someone can say that they are going to college at all when they spell feel "fell" not once but twice. Then to go on and basically encourage someone to take both of these at the same time? Not to say that it would kill you but what type of person studying to be a pharmacist would give this type of advice? The fact that such a simple word is misspelled shows how credible the advice is.

Norco is Hydrocodone plus 325mg of Tylenol and the highest dose is 10. Percocet is Oxycodone and 325mg of Tylenol, with the highest dosage being 10. Everyone has different pain receptors for opiates. What works best for one person could be totally different for someone else, even in the same or higher dosages. For most people Oxycodone works best, but if your body gets used to it switching to another opiate for awhile could benefit you. My doctor has tried many different combinations with me. The most recent is 15mg of straight Oxycodone 3 to 4 times a day and I take Tylenol with it. I'm also on Fentanyl patch 100 every 48 hours and muscle relaxers. This combined with using my Tens and ice packs my pain is bearable. I also get weekly trigger point injections next to my spine, which instantly numbs the pain so I can be normal for a whole day.

Wow! So sick of people who think that marijuana is the cure all, save all. It's not. Do actual research other than "YouTube". It's 10x more damaging to your body than cigarettes and has been linked to and Alzheimer's among other things.

I can understand why you are passionate about this subject, considering your mom's issues. Although I don't partake in marijuana, only tried it twice as a teen, I can understand the point you are making. But for me, a pill popper, I'm afraid to ask my PCP for this option. There's is such a stigmatization in being a "marijuana" patient. My family would come unglued if I were using this. I also think there's this fear, at least for me, that kids will have an easier time getting ahold of it. I hope you'll admit that when consuming marijuana you do become somewhat lethargic. Especially when used in excess, like any of the opiates you seem to despise. Marijuana is not for everybody. Our pain is not a so-called "cookie cutter" all for one kind of issue, as far as pain levels go. America is the land of choices and we should be able to make those choices, whenever and whatever we want. I felt I was being scolded by you because of how I have chosen to relieve MY pain. Maybe that wasn't your point, but nonetheless. I think when you are on your "soap box" next time you might be able to pursued people into at least believing in the benefit of this so-called miracle drug. It may be just that, but as people educate themselves on what's out there that may really work, will you find overtime the tolerance or attitude towards a specific something changes. It may take years before most, if not all of us, will sway our belief system.
