Hydrocodone for Pain "Was forced to switch from 4 to 6 Norco every 24 hrs. to Hysingla ER 30. I've gotten massive headaches every day in the past 6 wks since starting it, far less pain relief, itching, and swollen abdomen. My Dr. insists I need to stick with it."

Hydrocodone for Pain "Just started Hysingla ER 30 mg but with Norco 10/325. The pain doctor and I have been trying several IR and ER pain relief medicines. I have chronic pain after back surgery L5-L3, plus fibromyalgia and arthritis. So I hurt from head to toe, literally. I won't give up Norco until I know new meds work. That's our agreement. I have had only 3 days on Hysingla. I tried mornings, but it kept me up that night, so I switched to 9 pm. I think it peaks about 10-12 hours in. I sleep okay. I need to be able to move normally again during the day! I really can't tell I'm taking it, as I'm still taking Norco every 4 hours. They're not great either, but at least it works somewhat on back pain. I noticed on the 2nd day I'm starting to itch. If it doesn't let up, I'll have to call the doctor's office for something else. I hope not, I'd like to give a full month trial. Maybe it is too low a dose for me."
