I have cronic back pain due to an injury. I had surgery in March of 2003 to try to repair the damage, but it was not successful. So I have was prescibed Hydrocodone/APAP, and if not for this medication, I would no longer be able to work or have a normal life. (I also take Neurontin for nerve pain and Ultram for inflamation.) But due to those people who abuse such medications, it is hard to find a ...
Tris Norco 10mg keeps changing their pills to now feels like I'm taking ultram! Why is this legal they've been messing with it for a year now. The other generics are all worthless too so I won't even bother .

I was prescribed this medicine after getting out of the hospital for scoliosis surgery. At first, it did not work so the doctor put me on hydromorphone. About 10 weeks later he put back on this and it seems to be working but not as well as the morphone. I do believe I will be on this painkiller for some time. I'm taking the 7.5 - 750 strength tablets and take about 8 a day (every 4 hours.) To be honest, it works best if you are able to just sit around and do nothing. At least, that is my experience.Read More Read Less

I was diagnosed with fybromyalgia by my chiropractor. I went to my M.D.with the diagnosis. It had gotten to the point that I was barely able to make it through the work day!He at first tried me on anti-depressants, no relief. Then hesitantly prescribed hydrocone, all the time warning me of it's dependancy. I can now work without many of the problems I had before ,I can play with my grandchildren, something I was not able to do before taking this. It has helped me immensely!! So what if it has dependancy tendencies!! If it works and doesn't cost a fortune , let your patients remain on the drug until they come up with a miracle cure for this ailment!! Thank God I can now be an almost normal 54 year old gramma!!! Sue from Iowa Read More Read Less

This drug has relieved my back pain. The only problem I have with it - it knocks me out.

I have bone pain in my left shoulder from a fall. The medication is good if I take one every 3-4 hours. The pill is somewhat large and could be difficult for some to swallow.

If taken for severe migraine, does not work as well as if just taken for pain. Helps relieve pain that is not severe. If nauseated, med does not dissolve well and can futher upset stomach if not taken with food. Works for me most of the time in helping relieve pain if I take it with or about 2 hours after taking a triptan med for migraine.

I started taking some hydrocodone that I had left over from knee surgery for my migraines. It helped my level of pain, but my tolerance kept increasing very quickly. In less than two months, I went from 1 pill a day to 6. Luckily, I was able to stop without any side effects, but so far it has helped my migraines the most, which makes it really hard to not start taking it again!
