Norco 10-325 Withdrawl Help
Hello, I was in a car accident in 2006 and suffered a slipped disc 20% and cracked vertebrae in the L5-S1lower back. I have been prescribed Norco 10-325 and also Soma. I have not taken Soma in a month now, that is an awful drug because I remember I could not remember what I did those days when I took it and I walked around like I was drunk. I ran out of Norco about 6 days ago, I was prescribed a quantity of 60 and they were gone in 5 days, not good at all. I do not feel high when I took them my body just feels dependent on them I guess. I have tramadol 50mg which are almost gone, and neurontin 300mg which I hate taking because it makes me very dizzy, I cannot even walk. So I am going through the withdrawals of norco, my mind wants the drug so bad and I keep trying to sleep it off. I have had night sweats, insomnia even with Serequel XR prescribed to me specifically for insomnia. I am just really freaked out, I do have Xanax which I don'y much touch, Ive missed many days of work because of all this pain medication. I want my life back, but I also have to live with this pain in my back. Any advice would help greatly. Does L-Lysine help with detoxing from Norco? I am seeing a new doctor Monday a pain specialist and likely he will just give more pain meds....What does tramadol do I don't see any help with this medication? I have prozac but never took it, should I start to help with the depression? How long will the withdrawal actually go on?
Morning, I was asking about the L-Trysine because I read about the Thomas recipe. I have L-Lysine and thought it was a typo. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post.
This morning I woke up with flu like symptoms a slight headache, body aches, sweating beyond belief and diarrhea, so I trying to deal with that. After a week shouldn't this stuff be gone?
Regarding the Prozac I have a prescription filled that I never took that's been in my cabinet for about 8 months. Regarding the Neurontin, that is a new prescription only about one month old, the problem is my doctor prescribed me to take 3 x 300mg per day, no way I can handle that, it makes me dizzy where I walk around like a drunk and have even hallucinated off that crap.Months ago I even tried medical marijuana that did not work either. I stopped smoking on the patch etc...this just *****.

Wow! You're on a lot of meds....and most of them are the EXACT same ones I was taking. I, too, had an accident (but in 2008) and fractured my pelvis, tailbone and sacrum.. and then in 2009 I had two discs totally rupture out of their body cavities, no insurance and bedridden until I finally got some insurance; then surgery in June 2011. After surgery I really snowballed with the pain meds until I surrendered in June 2012.
I was on hydrocodone 10 mg like you, Soma, like you, and Neurotin, also like you. I had previously been on Xanex WITH all those, but started showing addictive tendencies (imagine that LOL) and my PA weaned me off of those. I was taking all the same meds you are/were plus an antidepressant.(which also are getting in the Tramadol and also the Prozac if you are taking that now, too). I didn't need anything for sleep at the time.
The neurotin you said makes you sleepy, but taken at bedtime may help with your sleep and lessen some of your opiate w/drawal. (they may also help lessen your nerve pain being off the Norco and they are NOT addictive)
Soma didn't make me sleepy, but it DOES chemically break down the same way as a benzo (like xanex) that's why I liked it. But the Soma also helped me with ham string and low back pain. Soma has been reclassified as of Jan 1, 2012 and is dispensed as an addictive med now. It could also be taken at bed time to lessen your pain and help you sleep.
If you are off the Norco (hydrocodone) but still taking the Tramadol, you are getting a synthetic opiate pain med along with an antidepressant.
Plus you said you take serequel and have a script for Prozac, also an antidepressant. No wonder you feel awful.....your brain is way overloaded.
You need some help in deciding what to take for what. If you are seeing a pain mgt dr. on Monday, I'd write down or take all the scripts you currently ingest.....even if only once in awhile. The prescription cocktail you have going on is complex! A good doctor should be able to advise you what to take.... or taper..... or simply stop taking.
Tramadol is addictive even tho many drs say it isn't. There are alot of Tram Warriors (recovering, struggling Tramadol users) on this medhelp site.. There were so many of them, they started posting back and forth to each other via a journal. I'll try and paste in below here so you can go read their struggles specific to Tramadol. They are already on Part 55 of their journals, so there is LOTS of info there and Tramadol addiction is very real.
I am off every Rx I was ever on at this point in my life. You need to wean off the neurotin and also wean off the tramadol as there is a risk of seizure in both those cases. So please.....with all you have going on, you need to talk to your new pain mgt dr on Monday b4 you alter a whole lot. (BUT STAY OFF THE NORCOS.....YOU'RE DOING GOOD THERE!)

In addition to the above, you have asked about L-Lysine vs. L-Tyrosine.
No.....they are not the same and if you read about each amino acid, you will see why the L-Tyrosine is recommended for opiate w/drawal. L-Lysine is good for a lot of things, but NEVER heard of it being taken for opiate w/drawal. And......as long as your seratonin levels have so much Rx activity already......I wouldn't add the L-Tyrosine yet. Wait and see about that after you get some professional advise. You've just got so much jacking with your brain right now. It's gotta be confused LOL!
Lots of good articles that will help you in those health pages at the bottom right hand side of this page. You can click on "see all health pages" after the most viewed health pages are listed. I sure wish I had found those and read them when I was ready to begin cleaning up. Read A LOT and you will find a "gold mine" of info on this site.
Lastly, you are like many, many of us here. Lots of us have had health issues that got us started taking pain meds. The pain you feel now WILL change initially......you may have rebound pain as your pain receptors in your brain receive less opiates......but if you are determined, and hang in there......after your body purges itself some and levels out.....the pain truly does become LESS than it is now.
A lot of us on here are learning to live a life of pain......WITHOUT PAIN PILLS. It can be done......but you have to WANT it. All of us that are making it have SURRENDERED and ACCEPTED that our lives had become unmanageable and we KNEW we were powerless over pain pills. You can, too! Welcome aboard.....keep asking, keep posting and you will feel right at home here.
Blessings to you~

I have looked into the Thomas recipe but I am confused about one thing he mentions L-Trysine does he mean L-Lysine?
Hello,
I was saying I cannot walk when I take neurontin because it makes me so dizzy, also Soma makes me walk like I am drunk. I also am on the patch to stop smoking as well. I am on 50 mg of Tramadol taking about 5 pills a day, does this help with the Norco withdrawal?

Hi dakindone, wow your body sure is going through alot right now. There is really nothing that you can take to get rid of the w/d's but with all the medications you are taking and the fact that you are taking tramadol still as well, Im not sure how much of this is w/d's. How much of the Tramadol are you taking? As Vicki said, that is a synthetic opiate and works on the same opiate receptors as norco.
I agree that maybe talking to your Dr. might be the best thing for you in this case.

Wow sorry to hear you feel so bad, I agree with Vicki you should see your doctor and tell him/her what's going on. As far as the w/d have you looked into the Thomas recipe (you can find it on the lower right of this page) it helped me out when I was in the thick of it.
Hi there- it sounds like you really need a break from everything to figure out how you really feel...Try to stick with one med like the Xanax so that your body can detox...would be my suggestion until you see your doctor on Monday.
Tramadol is a synthetic, opiate like drug which also contains SSRIs. I wouldn't take Prozac with that. Also, SEROQUEL and Xanax is not good to mix...
Why can't you walk?
You should be on the other side of the Norco detox within a few days. Be sure you're getting proper nourishment. It always helps.
