"I have found it brilliant. Nothing else works as good. I have been unable to move, and within 20 minutes, I could get myself into bed. Over the next two days, taking four tablets a day, the pain subsided. OxyContin and Tramadol did nothing. What is good for someone isn’t good for another."

"I got a 1st degree muscle strain 10 days ago. My doctor advised me to take Norgesic and ibuprofen at the same time. I'm now feeling way better. Personally, Norgesic works miracles! No side effects plus I enjoy a nonstop 8-hour sleep, which helps a lot during the healing process. The only thing I must do is make sure I have a full stomach."

"I started taking this because my doctor had some samples. I have osteoarthritis and TMJ that have really been bothering me. I am on other pain meds and anxiety meds. This is a good booster for my other meds, and it allows me to get much-needed rest. I suffer from insomnia and cannot get comfortable because of pain. I would recommend this drug to others. It is worth trying to see if it will help."

"Norgesic was prescribed to me a few times when I had to get medication acutely when I was out of town, etc. where they don't give you the 'real medications.' As one would expect, it's an OTC relaxant comparable to paracetamol in pain killers. It won't do much at all if you are used to the hard stuff. But no abuse value, hardly any side effects. It'd be okay for mild cases."

"Not nearly as 'masking' as Lortab or Vicodin, but measurably close. It's definitely noticeable that caffeine exists among the ingredients, too. I've felt fairly pain-free since taking this medicine."

"I thought I'll die with this drug because it can make your body weak. I can't hardly move. I won't take this drug again!"

"I tried Norgesic for 2 weeks, 3 times a day. It was for a bad muscle spasm in my back, it was hard to breathe. I swear Norgesic is a placebo. It did nothing at all for me... Nothing. Worked as paracetamol at best, dose no better, in my opinion. Told the doctor of my opinion and was given Valium (diazepam) 5 mg. That worked amazingly. I felt it working the whole time. With the Valium, it took me 2 weeks to recover. I'm EXTREMELY surprised to see so many people say Norgesic worked for them, but glad it did. I don't usually give feedback, however I truly don't think this compound works."
