I've been taking Norco 10/325 about 12 years. I had some Percocets and decided to take them. I took about 12-15 of them in a week to week and half time period. I stop the Per's and didn't take anymore. I was sick as a dog for about 2-3 weeks, light headed, no focus, confused, on energy. I was still taking Norco though, but I swear I think was having withdrawals. I went to the doctors twice but didn't tell him about the Percocets bc I didn't think anything of the 2 painkilllers, bc both of opiates in them. I thought I was sick from something else. Is it possible I was withdrawing from the Percocets even though I was still taking the Norco????

hydrocodone is weaker than oxycodone!! There chemical makeup is different and that came straight from my doctor. Please be careful as they are very addictive!

Norco is like Vicodin (Hydrocodone) 10 is the strength and 325 is the Tylenol.
Percocet is stronger and Fire is right, it is oxycodone.

I believe Norco is hydrocodone/acetemetophine and Percocet is oxycodone/acetemetophine.  I am not positive on the Norco though.  You may be taking a stronger Norco script than you were the Percocet script, because Percocet is generally stronger.  As far as I know generic and brand name should be the same.  I don't know what else to tell you.
