I suffer with chronic pain. It's been a 10 plus year of my condition. I only take the Norco when my pain levels are seven or above. The generic DOES NOT work like the Norco, and you end up taking more meds than necessary. I can go for three days or more depending on my activity. My pharmacy says they are having a hard time getting the brand name. Please share what my pharmacy can do to get the brand for my condition.
Has Norco been discontinued by all manufacturers?

I have been taking Norco for over 12 years and haven't had any issue until lately. The manufacturer brand I received the last time is LUPIN it's horrible! I came here in search for a pharmacy that might have a different manufacturer? I'm located in South Eastern Michigan if anyone knows of a place please forward the info it would be greatly appreciated

I have found Norco does not work for me. Are yours the white or yellow? The yellow hydrocodone works best for me. The white norcos do not work at all. I might as well be taking an Excedrin migraine tablet. I would be very interested in finding out if production of the hydrocodone has been stopped. I know Watson is no longer producing any hydrocodone medications.

I agree! The yellow are far superior, however I have been told by my dr & all the pharmacies they are no longer producing this
I need to find a suitable replacement
I actually have a mild reaction to the white generic besides it being less effective
Have you found anything that works as well?

I am in Michigan and have never had a problem getting Norco from my pharmacy. As a matter of fact, I picked up a refill of it today.

Your questions promted me to call my Pharmacy (Kroger) and speak with a Pharmacist. She said that "Norco" is a general term/name meaning HYDROcodone - ACETAMINOPHEN. If you were actually be prescribed brand name Norco, it is SO ridiculously expensive insurances generally would not cover the cost. SO yes Norco is made BUT not practible. The HYDROcodone - ACETAMINOPHEN I take is manufactured by Mallinckrodt and works fantastically for me!!
