Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Dick, Just a question here. If you have to take so many Norco's through the day, then why aren't you on a continuose (sp) release patch for pain. It appears that you are medicated all day taking these, I would assume that a duragesic or fentenal patch might work better and you could use Norco for break through pain. Have you already explored that avenue? Also, I take 1 Norco 10/325 and I sweat alot. Sandy in Ca -------------- Original message -------------- Kaye; Now I perhaps have found out why I am always waking up with a wet or very damp pillow. My bed is just below the window which I keep wide open at night, even in winter. I take about 6 Norco's (10/325) daily. Perhaps that is the cause?

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hi Sandy; I agree, I should be on the patches (Duragesic). Heck, I even got the card from the manufacturer entitling me to get them free of charge at my local pharmacy. The problem is.... the pain doc I was sent to. He wanted to ssssllloooowwwlllyyy increase them from the beginning of 25 mcg over a couple of months. I posted about this before, but even trying to explain to him that my experimentation with 2, then 3 of the 25 mcg patches simutaneously did the trick (no back pain) he still wanted to go slower. I tried to explain that I was tired of the dopey/foggy feeling from the Norco's and that I knew that 75 mcg worth of the patch would be fine as it was at that dosage that my back did not hurt, and I didn't fell that dopey/foggy feeling. Long story short, I am planning on getting the disk problem fixed in the spring. Hopefully I won't need pain meds for my back anymore. Dick & Alan > > > Dick, > > Just a question here.
