I had a knee replacemant recently. The doctor prescribed Hydrocodone which worked very well.Unfortunately, I don't remember the dosage. On the last refill I asked for they sent out Hydrocodone-apap 5-325. It did absolutely nothing for the pain. It was a different pill. I assumed it would be a lighter dosage but to do nothing was a real surprise to me. What do you think it is?

Are you sure that is was Hydrocodone? Because I have never heard of that dosage before. Hydrocodone usually comes in 5/500 or higher i.e.7.5/500. Maybe what you were taking was Oxycodone, i.e. Percocet or one of its generics which usually comes in the doseage that you mentioned 5/325 Nonetheless, Hydrocodone is not as strong as Oxycodone but the side effects are just about the same. There are some very knowledgable people on this website, which is where I get my info. I hope this answers your question.

Yes, Jayjay there is a dosage Hydrocodone-apap 5-325 I am looking at my pill blttle and was having the same issues that it does not seem to be working for my pain. What I have learned the second number 325 is the doseage for tylenol and the first is the doseage for codine.

So everyone asking.....yes there is a 325 dose but it usually has something else in it.....I just began taking it and no it is not really for pain I am taking it for my cough and the small amount of hydrocodone in it is to help with aches and pains associated with colds.

i was just put on Hydrocodone 5/325. one to two pills every 4-6 hours. i have back problems which i will soon be getting injections for. they put me on this to tide me over till my injections. i have had the Hydrocodone 5/500. i just took 2 of the new prescription and it is helping with the pain . I think if you just double up on your dosage if your on 5/325 you will be fine.

I got a prescription for this for hip pain and it did absolutely nothing for the pain. What is the next step? Percocet?
Were you able to resolve your problem? And if so, how?

Because of FDA concerns about overuse/toxic effects of acetaminophen ("Tylenol"), they have mandated a reduction in the amount of tylenol in meds, from a max of 500 mg/dose to 325 mg. Common fears about people mixing pain meds w/cold remedies, many of which contain tylenol

I had the same issue with the oxycodone 5-325.They made me not feel to good and did nothing for my pain,so I called it in to the hospital and "Riverview clinic" did nothing about it. PS - The pills also put me to sleep,therefore I couldn't get hardly anything done.

I've had hydrocodone before but I got only a good relief for my pain but, this time I had surgery and And the hydrocodone just don't feel the same (10-325,lot num P-204)I'm having heat flashes and I feel sick somewhat to my stomach. I went to the emergency room to find an answer to why my body was getting so hot and could not sleep (when a body can't sleep it's like living death)the doctors and nurses found nothing wrong after going through numerous tests.so,I had to find out for myself what was the problem.Anyway, I backed off some of my pills (vitamins-no other drugs I might add)and I was a little better until I started taking my hydrocodone meds again and I'm having heat flashes throughout my body and it's hard to sleep. Since I took less hydrocodone my condition isn't as bad but I still feel sick and hot

Yes they do make & prescribe hydrocodone/acetaminophen in that dose (5/325) see, the 1st # (5) means theres 5mg hydrocodone and the 2nd # (325) is the mg amount for how much acetaminophen and so on for 5/500,7.5/500,10/500.....It comes in several different dosages....But the 1st # is how much hydrocodone is in it (usual is 5) & 2nd # is how much acetaminophen (btw, is just another name for tylenol). The hydrocodone is the narcotic pain reliever, which a higher # usually helps more, 2nd # (the tylenol) is better when lower as thats the med that'll possibly cause liver problems if u take too much for too long! And I have no idea why they shorten the acetaminophen to apap cuz if u look on the script bottle it'll say hydro/apap 5/500 (or a similar #). Hope this helps!!!

Those sound like side effects of too much hydrocodone (which is a narcotic).
I'd say to try taking half a pill &see how u feel. Half pill just means you're taking 5mg hydrocodone not 10. If u find u need an in between dose tell doctor you would maybe do better with the 7.5mg hydrocodones, they do come in that dose. Good luck! Let me know if it helps!

I found out what the problem was. The oxicodone that I got from a different drug store had a different lot# which was ip 204.The oxicodone that I had before was from another drug store and the lot # was W523 and this batch was ok with no side effects. So,the oxicodone with the lot # IP204 I will not take again. Anyway I told my doctor about it and requested some hydrocodone and I don't have any problems with it
