My doctor called back and he put me on Norco? How different is that from Vicodin and does it help with thw pain very well?

Norco is the same thing as Vicodin, but with less tylenol. Hope it helps you!! :)

So, why did he basically give me the same thing? If the vicodin doesn't help with the pain, how is this Norco going to be any better?

I think you are going to have to find out what the dosage is, when you pick it up at the pharmacy. The norco might be 10mg, and your vicoden might be 5/500. What dosage were you on of vicoden? I hope the switch helps. Good luck, and let us know how you are doing.

I think the Vicodin is 5mg. When I called the pharmacy about the new med, I think she said that it was 10/? of Norco. Will that make a big difference in releiving pain?

If the vicodin was 5mg, and the Norco is 10mg, then he doubled the dose. It should help more than the 5mg.
