If i take two norcos 5/325 with my 60 mg dose of methadone, will i feel it? ## Nope probably not. I never do "feel it" but if you are looking for pain control it still works better than tylenol/Advil with the methadone. Any narcotics are hard to "feel" while on Methadone. ## Wont feel it at all, its like taking your pills and throwing right out your window...dont waste your time... ## Laurie, I am a clinical pain management pharmacist. Are you taking methadone for chronic pain or addiction? If for addiction, you should not be taking any other opioids with your methadone. If for pain, the answer is yes. Methadone does not block the pain relieving effects of other opioids. Dependeding on your degree of tolerance to opioids, you may get sufficient pain relieving effect. I d...

I am 65 y/o male who has been on Rx opiates several years. I cheated when the Rx arrived early in the mail and had extra tablets. When taking codeine sulphate and long acting morphine the pills were shipped together. When the codeine was switched to Norco the meds were mailed separately. The VA is where I receive health care. The Norco was always sent out on day 31 taking up to 10 days to arrive even on 28 day & 30 months. The morphine was always overnighted and arrive on time. The time gap between shipments left me taking excessive amounts of one to cover for the other and visa-versa. At the end I would 30mg Norco QTH when out of morphine. I would crush 6, 30mg morphine tablets daily while out of the Norco. Of course I found myself without either drug for up to a week at a time goi...

Will mixing methodone and norco lnduce withdrawls?? ## Hi Melissa, Based on my research, there are no drug interactions listed between Methadone and Hydrocodone; so you shouldn't experience any strange problems in that regard. While it is possible for there to be an additive effect, some people have had incidences where they noticed a decreased efficacy with Hydrocodone when they administered a larger dose of either medication. I'm not a doctor, but from what I've read, I don't think it reacts quite as strongly as Suboxone would in this type of scenario. None the less, it is something to pay very close attention to if this is your first time using either of these medications together. It may also be best to discuss proper dosing protocols and any other concerns with your...

Terrible hip pain from Arthritis. Taking 90 ml methadone liquid for over 13 yrs. Nothing can help pain due to methadone tolerance is so high. Friend gave me a Butran patch 15mcg/per hour, but after reading online advice I'm afraid of going into severe withdrawal of the methadone. I understand these two together will not work, but rather cause me great problems. I've tried Norco, Oxy-cordone, Percaset, n Ibprofin 800mg. If anything, the ibprofin 800 helped slightly, but nothing else even fazed my pain at all. I'm now seeing a pain management Dr. who has prescribed me lidocaine patches, and some type of non-narcotic inflammatory patches. I am waiting already over two weeks for him to pre-authorize these patches, so don't know if they will help my pain. Does anyone know of ...
