hey everyone

I found out something last night while I covered a shift at work form my hubby. I needed to get out of the house bady so he actually took the kids and I sat at his post(we have a small security company). We I was online looking for a publisher for a book I am atempting to write, when I come across a pill idinifyer. So I thype in my hydro to see if it really works and wouldn't you know it popped up 7.5/750 which is a lower dose than I was taking 10/325. Yeah it has more tylenol but less off that damn aswful drug. So trying to make it short the doctor has been tapering my mom off without her even knowing it. And like most people I didn't check the numbers on them. This explains a lot to me why I had times where I felt like ****. A few months back the pills were yellow and smaller. Come to find out it was Norco much stronger lmao. So when the dr. Switched to the white they didn't work as well but mentally I tought they were the same and only took extra when I needed it. Sorry making it short. I have also been tapering down slowly without even knowing it lmao. Anyway I am at 2-4 pills a day so I am setting my limit to 3and 1/2 today to see what happens. Wish me luck and sorry this is soo long. Might not sound like much but I am actually excited about what has happened.

No the same doctor or so she says. She has MS and a hand full of other things wrong with her. I think it is mostly effects from the hand full of other drughs she takes I don't know the names of.

I was just thinking that it is totally odd that your moms doc is prescribing her both methadone and the hydro.If you take the methadone the hydro has almost no if not no effect at all.Does she go to more than one doctor?
This is perplexing

Yeah I see my mother and feel bad that she is taking those. I don't think her dr is cutting her doses of meth cuz she seems to have an endless supply of those. But when she doesn't take one she is crying in pain and beggs me to shove one down her throat.

God I am glad I never went on methadone.I have a friend who goes to the methadone clinic and he has no money and they are cutting his dose down.He is sick all of the time and can never do anything but lie in bed.He is in hell.

I am going to taper down for now. I still need to go buy all the stuff for thomas recipe to have on hand. I called the pharmisist and she told me that narco is stronger than hydro and confirmed that my mom is being tapered down but I am not going to tell her I want her to get off them to. She has been on them for years along with methadone which I heard is even harder to get off.

HI.Norco is the same drug but with less acetominophen(tylenol).Alot of people including myself think that the 7.5s are just as powerful as the 10s.I do not know why this is.So are you still going to taper down to nothing or are you going to continue to take these pills?
