"on norco-10 for 4 years-c4-c5 herniated disc. i went from 3/day to 4 or 5 a day as my tolerance built.  18-20 months ago, doctor suggested nucynta 100 3x a day.  the max pain relief was just as good as the norco-10, but i told the doctor that i wanted to go back to norco because the nucynta would &quot;crash&quot; me between doses-fell off very quickly the last couple hours.

got to two months ago.  doctor sends me to a pm specialist because he&#039;s not happy with all the acetaminophen.  she puts me on tramadol and tells me to slowly back off the norco.  first, tramadol didn&#039;t work for pain, 2nd it nauseated me badly. told her my history with nucynta and she put me on 150mg er 2x/day.  all good 3 weeks later but with 1 or 2 norco as supplements for breakthrough pain.
