Hey Lisars,
Roxanol is morphine which is a stronger opiate than Norco (hydrocodone with acetominophen). It is prescribed for moderate to severe pain and comes in two formulas, immediate release and extended release. I would try the Roxanol and see if it brings you the relief you deserve. You are opiate tolerant at this point and are going to have to take a stronger opiate to get this relief.
What are you scared of exactly?
Here to help,
Laurie
