For Pain "This is an update. The last 3 months of Tris brand of acetaminophen with hydrocodone (generic Norco) has felt like taking nothing. My new refill Friday of January 17 now feels like I'm taking a completely different medication. This is not hydrocodone in these pills!!! I am tired, dizzy, have a headache, and a little upset stomach. These manufacturers are doing some sort of testing on consumers, using us as lab rats, and it's sickening. PLEASE, PEOPLE, FILE COMPLAINTS WITH THE COMPANIES AND FILE COMPLAINTS WITH THE FDA ONLINE FORMS EVERY DAY UNTIL THEY GET INVESTIGATED."

For Pain "Works better than 5 mg oxycodone. I do not feel that the 5/325 Norco works at all, but the 10/325 does help. Some people can and will get an upset stomach when taking it. All you have to do is ask for some nausea medication to go with it. I think it is a bit ridiculous that it is so hard to get, especially when you are in extreme pain. I honestly feel that it helps with my fibromyalgia pain as well, not fully, but it does help."

For Back Pain "Short but to the point. I agree with almost all of these posts. Broke my back in 1993, have taken every pain medication on the market (back when doctors were able to help their patients). After my fourth surgery, doctors say that was all they could do for me, and I would be on pain management the rest of my life. Well, like most, I too have seen a drop in pain relief from generic Norco, been taking these since 2004 and used to work just fine. Nothing gets rid of all the pain, but helps to have a life, so to speak. The past couple of years, I have not only experienced a lack of pain control, but hives from some manufacturer (Eywa Pharmaceutical, blue pill purchased from Winn-Dixie being the cheapest), along with stomach problems with Amnell, and of course, Mallinckrodt's severe lack of pain management. But stuck as more and more companies are being forced out of the market."

For Pain "I broke my femur at the top and had surgery to put in a plate and pins. The pain is almost intolerable. At first, I was given oxy, but did not tolerate it well. The Dr. switched me to Norco, and I am alert, awake, and best of all, out of pain. I get an upset stomach occasionally, but the Dr. has given me a prescription that controls that."

For Pain "Recently, I was put on Norco for a hand injury sustained several years earlier. It has helped my hand tremendously! I can actually use it. I love the fact that it has less acetaminophen and doesn't make my stomach hurt. It is a miracle."

For Pain "Upset stomach most of the time, minimal pain control, just not effective for me."

For Pain "I had been taking Norco for the past 2 months, and I have to say that I really don't like it. It really upsets my stomach. I wish I could find something that works but doesn't make me feel like this."
