Pain
"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. "
