Question 1

Accepted Answer

Buprenorphine helps: Ask your physician about using Buprenorphine for detoxification and/or maintenance.  You may need referral to a specialist who prescribes this medication.  Also consider attending a meeting of narcotics anonymous.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Depends: Flexeril is a muscle relaxant with sedative properties.  Driving and using alcohol are not recommended.  Narcotics such as Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) can cause respiratory depression.  Some medical conditions can complicate the use of medications, so care must be taken when using this combination of drugs.  Therefore, it is best to consult your treating physician.

Question 3

what is the best way to wean off yourself  of norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen)?

Accepted Answer

SLOWLY: Depends on how long you have been taking the norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen). For example, let's say you have been taking 4 pills per day for several years.  I would decrease to three pills per day for two weeks, then two pills per day for two weeks, then one pill per day for two weeks.  If you have been taking the medicine for a long time, you may need medications to help with the cravings.

Question 4

i'm wondering why my doctor said i needed to be weaned of norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) instead of kust stopping it.

Accepted Answer

Weaning norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen): BobbieS, your doctor is probably thinking about withdrawal symptoms.  You can just stop Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) but the withdrawal symptoms can be pretty unpleasant especially if you've been taking it for a while. If you stop taking it in a stair-stepped fashion, withdrawal symptoms are reduced.  It seems that your doctor is just looking out for you. Have a great day :)

Question 5

dislocated 1st rib prescribed 2 weeks 10/325 norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) twice daily and 10mg valium once daily! are these safe to together? will i need to wean off valium?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doctor : This is ok short term.  Talk to your doctor about weaning valium. The dose needs to stay low and short term use only (less than 1-2 months). An escalation of dose or long term use would not be appropriate and place you at risk for addiction to these medications. Do not combine with any alcohol or other medication.  Don't drive if drowsy. Always talk to your doctor before any med changes. Bst wishs

Question 6

just found out i'm 9 weeks pregnant and have been abusing norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen). i have a last script i plan on weaning down. will my baby be ok if i wean down now?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy : First of all congratulations on wanting to get clean and have a healthy baby. Fortunately you are still very early on in pregnancy and your baby will hopefully be fine. Most important is to see your obgyn as soon as possible and stop the medication. Take care and good luck!

Question 7

how long after taking norco can i take tramadol?

Accepted Answer

Do not combine drugs: You should not take both medications, however, if your pain is not severe, I would recommend taking the Tramadol, and only taking Hydrocdone (Norco) for more severe episodes of pain.

Question 8

can you take 1 norco 7.5/325 and tizanidine 4 mg together?

Accepted Answer

: I would go to Drugs.com and enter both meds and all others you are taking into their interaction checker and see.  The 325 is aspirin.  And then discuss with you Dr who will know your kidney and liver function.

Question 9

hi
i need refill on mirapex (pramipexole) and norco.

Accepted Answer

Refills: Refills are not any issue. However - with opioids most MD's in the US will and should not just issue refills without you being seen.

Question 10

is it okay to take robaxin (methocarbamol) and norco together?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Norco is a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen.  Robaxin (methocarbamol) is a muscle relaxant.  They can be taken together.  However, when taking together, you might experience more drowsiness.
