I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and a back injury from my service days. Both cause me a great deal of pain. Recently my doctor replaced my Hydroco/APA 10-325mg tab with Methadone 5mg tab.

Is narco stronger than methadone ## Hi crank, Did you mean Norco perhaps? Based on my research, patients using Methadone have reported it as being much stronger than Hydrocodone, which is combined with Acetaminophen in Norco.

The problem with Methadone is the withdrawal process, it can be much more painful than any other withdrawal process. This is not going to be the case with every patient, since everyone reacts to medication differently. Your doctor should able to provide the appropriate pain medication based on your medical history and current symptoms.

I am on this med for pain. However I am also in a methadone program. When I u/a she said the oxycodone oral and opiate is showing up. I am not taking anything extra, just what the dr is giving me. Help. ## What is the full name of the oral solution you are using? Hydrochloride is just the chemical salt, there should be something else with it, it should say Hydrocodone Hydrochloride, or etc. If you can post back with the rest of the name, I can research more information for you. ## What is the comparison between oxycodone oral solution and tablets. Have been prescribed oxycodone hydrochlride oral solution 5mg per 5 ml.
