I was taking Norco for 3yrs,as directed,by Dr.for spinal stenosis,Dr wouldn't give me anymore without surgery,was to scared,to do the surgery. I went to my phycatrist,and he had me stop the Norco for 30hours,and then put me on suboxan,it was a miracle drug for me no withdrawal to speak of a little anxiety,and the suboxan really helped with my pain also,I still have to take the suboxan every day but life is soo much better.

I am a 69 yr. retired vocational rehabilition counselor. I have worked in my field since 1969. My husband of 45 years is a lawyer. He has retirement to his field of litigation and has no plans to retire! We have 2 sons who are both college graduates and married with children. One is a businessman who owns a fitness salon in Olathe, Ks. He has a wife who is employed as a nurse. My other son is a mechanical engineer and working fulltime for a company of engineers who are sending him to graduate school called Carnegie Mellon. His wife has her own catering business. Both of my sons have made me a grandparent 3 times.
I have been taking Norco that was perscribed by a
physician for severe pain from my pain caused by a condition called spinal stenois and fibromalgia. I have been on a Fentalyl patch at the same time. I no longer drive because of my own decision. I am considering no longer taking as much of my pain medication. While I have reduced much of my meds, my physicician has reccomded continuation of the Narco.I would like to know what my opiticions?

I was taking 5 mgs of Vicodin 4 -5 x daily for 18 years.
I decided to quit them. It was hard,
Throwing up & Severe stomach issues.
Took 5 hard days.
I would definately taper off if
I went through it again.
It can be brutal but can be done.
Don't worry, she will be fine.

I'm going though the same thing myself.you are a good mommy to be so concerned to get on here looking for help. This is an old thread so this may not be seen but I'm only in day 3 clean :( I've been drinking Kratom tea and it's helped immensely with the withdrawal, also Gabapentin that my dr prescribed me. Those two remedies together are making my withdrawal almost not existent! I hope your daughter is doing well by now and pray that she is still clean to this day

I'd been taking Norco for 10 or 11 weeks. I took 2 in the morning and by 4 in the afternoon I needed more. I realized something was wrong when I kept feeling bad, with the feeling of adrinalin flowing down the legs, nausea, not sleeping etc...
I quit 5 days ago, cold turkey, and the symptoms of withdrawal are getting better, just wish I were finished with them!!

heartbrokenmom,
By the time you read this, I think the worst will be over. Did your daughter have time to taper some,that is take less and less of the narcotic, before she jumped off? I ask that because might lessen the days. Withdrawals are terrible. I just went through something similar after being on very strong pain meds myself, after 5 days the worst was over. Didn't feel well by any means but the intense stomach pains and diarrhea slowed down as long as I didn't eat anything. Got dehydrated myself. Just letting you know I empathize with your daughter and you, she is very brave.
There will be others that answer that will have more information for you. I wish and pray that both of you get through this.
Peace,
Sweet Hippie

Heartbrokenmom my heart goes out to you. The truth really matters in this recovery. You may not know how she was taking the norco? If she was throwing down 10 at a time she has troubles, as far as coming off the norco. Alway recovery is determed how much they've taken and how long. I mean no matter how she was taking them 10 norco a day is to much. I will say a prayer for her, regards saucerman

I wouldn't stop abruptly. If you can taper off the Norco over time, you can avoid most of the withdrawals. Otherwise, it is going to last upwards of a couple of weeks.

That will very on how long you were taking it, how much, your general health and whether or not you're abusing anything else. This is best handled with the help of a physician because they can ease you down using other meds. The issue may also be if you should be addressing recovery related issues with yourself as well. Pursuing recovery will help with the future, so you have less of a chance to relapse rather than conquer.

10 per day for a year says enough about behavior to suggest seeking help. The withdrawal is 2 fold, what the absence of the chemical does to your body, what the absence of the abuse does to your mind. Make sense? Hope so. Hope this helps.
