Because of back problems I take Norco 10/325 (actually prescribed by a US Doctor, no overseas or on the street shit) and find that I take sometimes about 10-12 pills a day, equaling about 3,888 mg. APAP, just below the 4,000mg limit per day - is this safe to do EVERY DAY if I have to?
*I DO NOT DRINK ANY ALCOHOL PERIOD!*
Sometimes I can't even get out of bed without taking at least 4 because of tolarance. I've asked this question to some other people and got different answers so I posted it here. Anything you could tell me...

That much daily for extended periods of time can't be good for your liver. I would ask your doctor to change your prescription to something with less or no APAP. Explain to him that you can't even get out of bed with what you are currently on and that you feel that they no longer give you the needed relief.
 
I replied to your other post titled "Opiods with APA: Just Missing the Limit Mark..." I think this is essentially the same question, so I won't reply again, check out my reply to your other double post.
 
No doctor is going to prescribe this pill for use 12 times a day when it is suppose to be taken one or two times every 6-8 hours. It is apparant that you are abusing this drug. But thats cool. Not drinking is a very good move when taking that much APAP but the long term usuage of 3,888 mg a day will eventually take its toll on your liver. It may take a while but even staying under that limit can cause damage. If your really in that much pain do your liver a favor & take OC's or MS Cotton...
