Norco Michigan

Is anyone else having problems finding a pharmacy to fill their scripts of Norco? I have been taking them for a few years now for my chronic pain. I always go to the same pharmacy chain, and its always the same doctor who writes my scripts, but since the new law change no one seems to have them in stock. Some pharmacists told me it was a manufacturer back order. We are told not to go without our meds, but yet how is that possible if we can't get them? Anyone knows of a pharmacy that has Norco 10/325 in the metro Detroit area? ## Dear Painfully Annoyed, Yes, this appears to be a huge problem at the moment. I have called every pharmacy in my insurance plan and everyone says the same thing. Your not alone, I was told it is a repackaging issue with the manufacturers due to the new laws....

Can i have my 7.5 norco filled on the internet in detroit michigan? ## None at all. I just spent two days searching every pharmacy I could find. That's not including the ones I called too. Get to one pharmacy they say they have it but can't fill just a narcotic script alone. I have been fed up!!!! Went back to my doctor and he changed the script to tramadol. I know that's crap but I'm in pain and need something for relief until this ish pass on by. ## Hello, do anyone know a pharmacy in the Detroit area that has 7.5/325 norco's in stock? ## Called the manufacturer and they said that they were shipping to all wholesalers in Michigan. So call this number to complain! Also contact your pharmacy and ask them to call there wholesaler and see what the problem is? Watson Ph...

I have a fractured rib and chronic lower back pain and have been on Norco for a year (7.5-325). I have been switched to Tramadol since this recent shortage. I have not been able to find any pharmacy in the Detroit area that can fill my Norco prescription. I have read that it has been gone to a controlled substance level II, and that they had to relabel everything. I called the manufacturers, and they said that they had relabeled everything, so that wasn't the issue. Then I was told that the pharmacies have to do a ton of paperwork to receive it now. Each pharmacy says they keep ordering, and they keep not getting in shipments. I am really just wondering if anyone knows when pharmacies will be back in stock (or if anyone knows of a particular pharmacy in the detroit area that carries...

I live in northern Michigan (not the U.P.) and have been prescribed Norco 10/325; 200 pills a month. Anyone who has taken this knows that is a lot and I am in serious pain. I was just told out of the blue I would be cut down to 90 a month. I only have about 2 weeks to find a new doctor, get my records, and be seen before I run out and am out of commission. Obviously I'm panicking so I'm turning to anyone who can suggest a doctor in my area who will help me. I'm willing to travel but that will take more time out of my 2 weeks. Thank you for your help.

According to the FDA's website there is no shortage, so what's going on? Has anyone been able to locate any? accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/drugshortages/default.cfm ## Well I still can't find any in my area. This is ridiculous. It's been a long time and they should have them in stock now. My pharmacy doesn't have a straight answer for what's going on and when they will be available. If anyone finds any in Michigan-suburbs of detroit area Plz say if u have found any ## It takes a while for drug shortages to show on the website. If the Manufactures are still changing the labels from when it was reclassified, there isn't a shortage. It also takes more than one area to report a shortage before it is listed and it depends on who is doing the reporting. Also just beca...

I need a monthly prescription of methadone. Not a clinic!!!! For pain and or addiction to narcotics prescribed to me for diagnosed physical conditions. I genuinely need help. Suboxone is NOT AN OPTION! I have had a script 3x'S. Makes me feel worse! But, I continued to try... now I am prescribed 120 10-325 norco a month. Also Xanax for terrible panic Disorder. Ugh. Please help. Thank you. ## Hello, Krista! How are you? A regular doctor can only prescribe it for pain, not for addiction, that can only be done by someone specially trained in its use for such in a clinical setting. Have you already received Methadone at a clinic for addiction/pain? If so, that is what is in your medial records and no regular practice doctor or specialist will be able to prescribe it for you. Are the Norc...

can you get both in michigan? ## Hello, Jay Jay! How are you? Both are available and can be prescribed there, as well as in any other state, but most doctors aren't going to prescribe both, at once, since both contain Acetaminophen and taking too much of it in a day carries risks of liver damage and liver failure, as well as overdose toxicity. This is 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, everyone. My daughter and I have just moved to a small town where I know nobody. We are near Flint and Fenton. I have prescriptions for Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Depression, Anxiety, Migraines, and chronic Pancreatitis. Basically, I'm on a lot of stuff...Morphine, Dilauded (sp?), Norco, Trazadone, Attivan, Cymbalta, and Lasix. I realize that I've probably been on too many things and I may need to switch back to Methadone (I took that a few years back) as a replacement for a few things but, I'm very worried about what will happen if I run out of everything all at once as, I know I have become dependent. I have about two weeks worth left and then I'm kind of screwed. I need to find a Dr. that can come up with a suitable pain management "recipe" and wh...

I am a severe and chronic pain patient on my way towards a fibromyalgia diagnosis. I just moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan and have priority health/medicaid. Do any of you know a good Doctor whos not shy about prescribing opiates??? I'm tired of being labeled a drug seeker when the drugs i seek ACTUALLY WORK. I don't feel high off them, I'm not a junkie, I just NEED to manage my pain levels because they get debilitating. I've great results historically with low level dose methadone (5mg 3x's daily) with norco (10/325mg, 4 x's daily for breakthrough). In otherwords I'm not looking to be a strung out zombie, I just want enough to take the edge off so i can function. Are there any sympathetic Doctors in Grand Rapids Michigan that won't treat me like a drug se...

I have been a chronic back pain patient for years. Degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, spurs, recurring herniated discs, sciatica. I have been getting my script filled at the Roseville, Michigan pharmacy since before the law change last October. Now sometimes I can get it filled in about a week, but usually not. After running out again last week and calling and visiting the pharmacy every day, I called today to be told to try next week ( the line I usually hear) I went there about an hour later and it was in! Found out it came in way before I called. Just as I suspected, they were LYING AGAIN. Do other people in S.E. Michigan feel they are also being lied to by their pharmacy? We chronic pain patients are taking a beating! WHY? ## Question for you the pharmacy you are using is it a na...

I live in Portland Indiana. I just can't get a break with these doctors here. My old doctor was in Michigan but I could no longer make the trip up. Doctors here give things my doctor has tried for years only to have them fail for my pain. Norco was only thing that actually worked. I have been pain free till I moved to Indiana. Now I can't get pain management to fill norco, but they offer morphine which I refused, so they refused to see me. Can anyone help here? It's bad enough I have hard time getting out of bed. I just want to live life and function. ## I hope a doctor from Portland see's this. I'm sick of the bureaucrat. To get relief from pain. I'm no way an abuser of norco but all these other meds don't work at all. So any doctor reading this comment, I l...

Please help!! I am new to this site, this is my first time posting on anything like this. I will be blunt and right to the point! Every month I get 120 Norcos, I have Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance, I live in Michigan! Can I get two early refills back-to-back if I call my insurance company and explain the situation!? We're going out of the country on the 12th and won't be back in till next month and I will definitely be on my medicine by then! But the only problem is I just got a refill last month on the 27th! And last month I called my insurance and got it filled 12 days early because I left on vacation out of country! So now I'm just wondering if I can do this two times in a row? And just pay out-of-pocket!? Or can I go to another pharmacy and say that I don't ha...

I am starting this thread so we may be able to aid each other when we have problems filling our prescriptions in Metro Detroit area. If you'd like to just make it all of Michigan that would be fine too since some people may travel out of the Metro Area. I haven't been able to fill my script for a week now and I have hit every pharmacy imaginable. If I am successful at filling my script, I will list the pharmacy that was able to fill it afterwards. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Let's ban together and make this stressful and unfortunate situation easier for those of us who have had to wrongfully suffer through the negligence of the med chain. We shouldn't have to suffer because of those whom abuse the system and perform criminal activities when it comes to the very...

WOW Didn't even listen to him. he just found out he now has chrones colitis ibs 3 discs in his back that are compressed bleeding ulcers hep c giant kidney stones, so needless to say his family doctor will only give him norcos 10/325. He has to take 12 a day and really gets no relief and im going insane watching him suffer. He is completely on disability cant work. He doesn't want to take some doctors perfection away, he just whats to b functional. Me myself feel why live if you cant really live. Plus suffers from high anxiety.
