Anxious With Hydrocodone

I had surgery in May for disc replacement in C5 and C6 and was taking 10-325mg of Norco for pain, on October 12th I had a disc replaced in L5-S1 and my surgeon put me on 10-325mg of Percocet and Valium 10mg. I have been depressed at home and went to my primary care doctor who prescribed 7.5-500mg of Lortab, I was taking the other meds 2 every 4 hours for pain and have been dropped to 1 Lortab every 4-6 hours, this is not controlling my pain, my doctor feels I have been taking the Percocet for too long, 2 months, he also took me off my Valium 10mg and changed it to Klonopin 1mg, half to 1 pill twice a day, I have been in a lot of pain for a few days now since changing dosages and feel anxious and depressed, is this acceptable or should I go talk to my surgeon again and have my meds chang...

Have a legitimate prescription for Hydrocodone 5/325 but have been all over Orlando and no pharmacy has them in stock. Have tried them all - Walgreens, CVS, Target, WalMart, etc. Can anyone help? If you know any pharmacy where you've had some success, please be willing to share. I am out tomorrow and am growing anxious and afraid. I don't know what else I can do. ## I was on this med for a while. I went though a period of cant find it also back a couple years ago. Its more than likely a shortage of the medication. Has any of the pharmacy's told you when they will have it? I would call your Dr and let them know what is going on and that you will be out of it. Why they have shortages sometimes...... is just a lack of a certain ingredient. So ask the pharmacy first....... then ...

I've been on 75mcg fentanyl patches for about a year. I started having some issues with my blood sugar and sweating that I thought were from the patch. Then this month I found out my wife had been using them so I spoke to my doctor about changing. On 3/4 he switched me to 50mg nucynta er twice per day. Told me to discontinue the patches immediately. I did and had the left overs destroyed or whatever they do with them. I was fine for about a day and a half. Then started feeling very anxious and nervous. I would note the first night I did have hives on my arm but they went away quickly and I associated them with someone's body spray. Now it's been 5 days and I haven slept in 3. I have hydrocodone but I'm only supposed to take no more than 4 per day but my doctor hasaid tol...

I have an oblong yellow pill with a line down the middle and the numbers 36 01 on it. On the reverse it looks like a cursive V. Any idea on what this is? ## Pill Image This is Acetaminophen 325mgs and Hydrocodone 10mgs, a generic for Noroc, Lortab, Vicodin or etc. ## what pharmacist Kelly's qualitest Norco 10 325 Yellow oblong in SAN DIEGO? ## YELLOW Hydrocodone 10/325 by QUALITEST - Does anyone know which pharmacies in San Diego County carry this brand ? I appreciate your feedback. I have been taking Hydrocodone for many years. Recently I have become convinced that when I get the YELLOW PILLS (e.g., by QUALITEST), I am much, much more comfortable (less anxious). I am convinced the IN-active ingredient in the white pills are missing me up. Watson no longer makes the yellow pills, th...

Which is stronger? Norco 10mg or oxycodone 15mg? ## Oxycodone is the strongest of the two, you'd need 22.5mgs of the Hydrocodone to equal each 15mgs of Oxycodone. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## Hello, all. Just wanted to try and help anyone out there with the similar situation. Generic norco used to work, but over the last 5 yrs., total junk. Tried every brand, felt anxious, no pain relief. God bless my doc, he switched me to oxycodone. Everyone is different, but noticed that this med is different in a lot of ways....most importantly...it is like creeper. It takes longer to start working as opposed to generic norco...
