RCMILL/OP- If you are still following your post...I would just like to chime in. Considering that you don't have an opiate tolerance (assuming this is your first time), I would recommend not taking such high doses, unless of course you don't feel anything say off a 10/235 Norco. I would consider 25 mg a rather large dose for someone who is opiate naiive.
Like many North Americans, I had my first opiate experience with Hydrocodone...and for many years it only took 7.5 - 10 mg to get me feeling good....for a strong nod I would say 15 mg would do it back then. I remember when I was about 16 a friend of mine gave me 50 Norco 10's and those lasted me for like a month. I'd pop one every few days and get just as high as I did the first time! What great memories!
Anyways, for the sake of your future tolerance and your wallet...find the dose that works for you and stick with it, try not to increase your dosage if you can avoid it. Also as you probably know, space your doses out as much as possible...try not to use every day for extended periods. I'm just saying all this cause you seem new to opioids and I don't want to see your tolerance going...means ther'll be less hydrocodone out there for more efficient livers like my own! (just kidding).
