Hey guys. My pain management dr. just switched me to this special form of vicodin- it is a sustained or controlled release form in the strengh 15/325.
I was on norco 10/325 every 4-6 hours. I would take about 5 norcos to get a noticable high, and also for pain relief. I have a very high tolerance from years of needing strong pain meds.
I had to get this new pill filled at a compounded pharmacy. They had to make it special with a ingredient called Methocel... not sure what that is, expect they said it is what makes it sustained released.
It is a big red capsule with the powder in it. Does anyone know about how this sustained release works? The directions say to take 1 every 6 hours as needed. And regular norco is also 1-2 every 6 hours as needed...so it seems like these new ones aren't very "sustained or controlled release"
Can you break open the plastic capsule and take just the powder ( like with water )to get the full feeling of the hydrocodone? I wonder if it is just the plastic capsule that makes it "sustained release". any help, info, experiences is appreciated! I want my original feeling that i get from taking regular hydrocodone/norcos!
thanks!
