Re: norco vs percocet

Norco is hydrocodone and percocet is oxycodone...both w/ aceta. (the good thing about norco 7.5 is the low dose of Aceta)

The norco 7.5 is 7.5 mg's of hydro, and of course that leaves oxycodone 5mg's for the percocet. Oxycodone is stronger in it's effects than hydrocodone, but that's almost a thin line. But mg for mg there prescribed the same (ex. 5-7.5-10)
But deff. taking a 7.5 mg Norco/Vicodin is a little stronger than a single 5mg percocet. For me personaly, with the pain i've experienced....5 mg's alone of oxycodone or hydrocodone are nothing. I do not notice any pain relief or diff. in drug. But will SLIGHTLY w/ a 7.5 mg tablet of percocet, but not 7.5 mg of Hydrocodone. I used to be on Vicodin ES (7.5 - 750mg) but I had to take 1and1/2 to feel any relief.

My daughter just had a hernia operation 2 days ago. The dr prescribed the Oxycodone, (which did NOT help with the pain), 1-2 pills every 6 hours and kept her sick to her stomach so that she couldn't even keep liquid down. I finally gave her one of my Norco 7.5/325 she was actually able to eat some soup and drink some water and have it stay down. Also her pain level went down so that she could actually move around a little bit. A person I go to church with said Percocet (oxycodone) is actually a mild pain reliever like trimadol, but to be honest I think its the acetaminaphin that is in them that is causing her the problem. Today she tried just a Vicodin 7.5/750 and she is again sick to her stomach. Would like to know if anyone has had this problem

Hi there! Just to clarify--Percocet contains Oxycodone which is a very strong pain reliever--much stronger than Tramadol. I have heard of people experiencing nausea and it's possible that it is from acetaminophen. I would ask your doctor if it's possible to switch from Percocet to plain Oxycodone. If that's not possible inquire about anti-nausea meds. Hope she feels better soon!

Re: norco vs percocet

Often people get nauseous not from the percocet or norco, it's from the rapid influx of the medication into the system which makes them a bit nauseous. Acetaminophen is not usually a stomach irritant. That's why it's so popular. Other medications such as aspirin, aleve/naproxen, advil/ibuprofen can cause stomach upset.

Percocet (oxycodone) is a stronger drug than Norco (hydrocodone) and that could be the reason she is getting sick. You can call the pharmacy and see if the percocet can be split in half and given to her that way.
