Zohydro 10mg Er

Updated

I have taken multiple types of pain medication I have osteoarthritis among some other problems as well. This is one I know nothing about I have taken multiple hydrocodone products I've taken Norco I've taken vicodin and things lortab lorcet lorcet plus I have even taken percocets.all of these were IR drugs . I am a little scared to try a new drug I do not know after the last two episodes one being with talwin and the other being with a patch butrans......I want to know which one of these medications would it compared to if I were to take it?

Hello, Frogg! How are you?

According to the FDA information, Zohydro contains a time released formulation of Hydrocodone, the same narcotic that was in the Lortab, Norco, Vicodin and etc. that you've taken before, it just doesn't contain the Acetaminophen and released slowly over time.

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?

I took my first one this morning and I will have to say what a tremendous difference in my pain level! I am NOT groggy or sleepy I do not feel out of my head any at all no nausea problems or anything.but i feels so much better! Don't know if it helps anyone else but it sure did help me.! The actual feeling it gives you is more or less what you know you would feel with a 5mg/325 Norco!and for me that means well no technical after failing it just helps get rid of most of the pain!

I have major back problems, bone spurs, severe arthritis through out whole back, severe degenerative dics, bulging disc, torn discs and my L3, L4 are bone on bone. My pain management will not prescribe only 10/325 Norco. I have been taking them for 3 years , no breaks. I am working on the steps to have my lower back fused together, but have been trying to go as long as i can without the surgery. It has gotten to bad now I must have the procedure done. I have talked to my doctor about my body building up a tolerance towards the medication and that I have to take 3-4 at a time for any release. He/she is not willing to increase the amount given to me a month. So I always run out before i get my refill. Usually 2 weeks I go without. They will not prescribe anything stronger and tell me that there is nothing else that the FDA will allow them to prescribe to me. Would Zohydro 10mg 30mg 40mg , 50mg help me? If so, then how can I convince my doctor to give it a try. Since every other non narcotic medicine has stopped working for me.
