Are there noticable withdrawals from Norco?

My sister has been on pain meds. norco, sleeping pills nortriptyline and something else prescribed by a pain management doctor for the past 8 years. She ran out of the norco and said she did not take them for 2 weeks. I did not notice a change in her behavior. Is it normal to not have withdrawals from Norco?

I would think so because she was on them for so long. People have withdraws even when they don't abuse them if they have taken them for a long period of time because our bodies get used to it being there.

She was taking 8 norco and 4 somas every day. She had to display withdrawals of some kind right?

Yes, I do believe she is using because she did not display any symptoms at all for the 2 weeks she said she was not taking them. No symptoms? I do not believe it.

It's possible if she wasn't taking a huge number of them. Why are you asking? Do you suspect she may still be using?
