Norco (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): Norco are the best hydrocodone medicine with only 325 mg of acetaminophen. You can worry less about causing long term liver damage.

Vicodin ES (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): My back was severely injured in 1981 I have had numerous surgeries and am disabled I have an implanted pain pump I have used Vicodin for at least 20 years. I use it when I need it. I go several days and sometimes weeks without taking it. I get some pain relief. I am never pain free I don't use enough to kill the pain just enough to make it bearable.

Vicodin (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): Works well to treat moderate pain and increase flexibility. If new to usage you can expect a "head buzz" but with continued usage the euphoria dissipates, but the pharmaceutical effects remain. Does tend to cause constipation, but by comparison to some other pain killers out there, it is far more manageable. Prescribed to me with muscle relaxers, but the muscle relaxers make me too sleepy to function.

Norco (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): I have had multiple compound fractures in addition to severe degenerative disk disease from a car accident which also resulted in a broken back (compression fracture) at my L1-L2 level. I have had a total of 4 reconstructive spinal surgeries, with the most recent being in 12/2010. I have rods/spacers in my cervical and lumbar spine areas. I could not take Lortab long term as it affected my personality in a very negative way. I am currently on Norco and it works quite well for me. I stick to the dosing schedule and have not had problems.

Norco (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): I have taken hydrocodone for several years due to severe back pain. I have osteoporosis which has resulted in several compression fractures. My back is a mess. I have had multiple surgeries for stenosis and disk problems. I have tried all the pain killers, Oxycontin, MS morphine, Lortab, etc. Norco works the best and I have only minimal side effects. I have taken the Norco 10's, one every 4-6 hours for the past 5 years. I am able to work and function almost normally with the pain killers.

Vicodin (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): I have chronic sciatica from wearing a gun belt for 15 years. This is the only medicine that helps me to live pain free. I have to work to support myself and try and save my house. If I am in pain I have to call in sick and then its downhill.

Norco (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): I was in a motor vehicle accident in 07 and had a crushed vertebrae and herniated disc. I was prescribed Norco and it works very well. Its the only thing I can use that works.

Lorcet 10/650 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): The best medicine for me. I have tried all of the pain medicines and this one works the best along with Soma.

Norco (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): I had a traumatic injury to my neck and shoulders about 7 years ago and didn't have proper treatment to repair the injury, so now I have constant moderate-to-severe pain in my neck/shoulder/back. Norcos really help a lot, but, as others have said, they don't last very long. I have to take 1.5-2 10/325mg tablets every 4 hours (at the most).
WORST SIDE EFFECT: Constipation. By far. Since my back hurts all the time, the thought of going and playing sports is intimidating to say the least, so I don't exercise nearly as much as I should (I've gained 35 pounds since the accident and I'm 28 now).
Overall this is a great medicine and one I would recommend.

Norco (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): I am a female, 20 years old and have been on Vicodin since I was 17 years old. I had an accident in '07 and had major health issues and found that I have Scleroderma (a hardening of the skin and tissues) and it had caused me to have mild arthritis through my body. This year I found out I have full nerve damage in my left leg and it's completely numb. This is caused from an 8mm herniated disc in my L4. My doctor bumped me up to Norco and I must say it does work. At most I take 2 every 5 hours. But normally 1 and a half does the trick. Withdrawals are bad, BAD anxiety, depression (coming off and being on), also decreased sex drive and libido. But does work wonders for pain.

Vicodin ES (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): As this medicine can cause intestinal problems care should be exercised because sometimes backache is due to intestinal obstruction.

Norco (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): As a former Firefighter who suffered a back injury 17 yrs ago. The surgeons said surgery would not help and that I should stay on pain medicines for relief. I've tried them all. Norco 10/325 has been the best. I have been able to get a job and hold it, which has done wonders for my self esteem. To be able to return to the work force and lead a relatively normal life. I can't do a lot of things but since being on Norco 10/325 for 4 years now I no longer suffer any depression and family and friends say I'm my old self again. I still suffer times where I have to slow way down but overall this medicine has been life changing for me.

Vicodin (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): I started taking Vicodin and carisoprodol 1 tab twice a day. I lived with pain for years until I started the medicines. But now it's creeping up to where I have to take them all the time. Usually I take two Vicodin and 1 carisoprodol or the other way around just to feel fine. I worry because I understand it can be addictive.

Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): Works great but when I stop taking them I feel really tired and I get hot then cold, very uncomfortable. I'm only 21 and I've been taking them since I was 12. I also think it has a role in my ulcer.
Norco (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): I have had 3 Back Surgeries the first one was Botched with cut nerves and also left a hole in my spine! The other 2 was fusion surgeries with a implanted Battery Pack to try and fix the damage from the first one so I have to take pain medicines every 4 hours and I have tried a lot of pain medicines but Norco 10-325 seems to work the best so far for me.
Norco (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): I have had low back pain for about 20 years, had a disc bulge cut out L4-L5 now pinched never L5-S1. I WENT TO Norco because I have taken Vicidon for many year. Norco works very well for me. I take 4 10mg four times a day.
Norco (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): I take 8 10/325 Norco and two time released Opana ER 20 a day and the Norco helped for years alone, I have bowel problems joint and back problems. I just want to have a normal day to get up and care for my family. I don't drink or abuse medicines but I'm thankful for what relief I get from my medicines.
Norco (acetaminophen / hydrocodone): Norco is by far the only pain medicine I have tried and that actually worked for my back, neck and leg pain. For me there are no side effects, it just works. I suffered from depression due to the wide spread pain in my body but the Norco also has helped with that. I've taken it for 4 years and have had times off of the medication and it's tough but only because the pain returns and I become sleep deprived. It really is a miracle.
acetaminophen/hydrocodone: I fell down some stairs at my house and fractured a spine in my back. This medicine helped me get by. I don't know what I would have done without it.
