[pedro1128]

kinda new at this..
ive had a few brakes in my nose over the past few weeks and i have been perscribed massive ammounts of norcos..
1st week got 20 norcos 5mg of hydrocodon/ 325 tylonal
2nd week 30 norcos 5mg hydrocodon/325 tylonal
nd half way into the second week get another 15 norcos this time 10mghydrocodon/ 325 tylonal
i personally think thats alot for those two weeks and i have been taking them as perscribed, they are perscribed as use when needed and trust me ive needed them. with that i fear of withdrawl because of all these pills taken in such a short time....

any ideas??? thnx

You should bring this up with your physician seeing as how they were prescribed.

Barring that, continue to take them as prescribed, and when you are no longer in pain, just stop. If there are withdrawals, take a minute amount at a time, say 2.5mg, until it holds you.

I doubt you will experience very strong withdrawal symptoms, but if you do and you cannot get help tapering with your doctor, come back here with your maintenance dose and we will help you find a taper schedule tailored to you.

Good luck

If you are seriously worried about withdrawals, though if I were you I wouldn't be to worried as your use isn't going to be for too long, talk to your doctor about tapering down off of the hydrocodone. He will certainly help you.

It's a "take as needed" prescription. You could try switching between norco and motrin or advil.
Last time I had my nose broken, someone stole my percocet. I was in a lot of pain and had to stick
it out with advil until I could see the doctor the following week. Ouch man. feel better!

Yeah, continue to take them as needed and if you're worried about having too much just speak to your doctor. As has been mentioned though, it's unlikely you'd experience more than very mild withdrawal symptoms - I wouldn't worry about it too much.

get some maxalon (metochlorprimide) (sp?)

If you have any worries about withdrawal, talk to your doctor and they should help you to taper off.
