"I was prescribed Norco for a year after a diagnosis of a degenerative spine disorder. I expected much more of the Norco 10 because I've been prescribed the Lortab years before for sports injuries and such. I was new to the pain game so other people confirmed that Norco was just not as substantial as the old blue Lortabs. I convinced my doctor to switch me to Oxy, and the pain relief is substantial enough to where I can try to live a semi-normal life."

"I've been on almost all major pain meds for chronic pain from psoriatic arthritis and multiple joint surgeries. Hydrocodone is not nearly the most powerful, by far. It works best for me because I don't want to sacrifice mental or physical performance to be pain-free. I just need something that gives me enough relief to have a life. The dose that works for me is 7.5/325. I only take it as needed. Regular usage reduces its effectiveness and causes constipation."
