How is Norco taken?

Norco is consumed orally by tablet, capsule or syrup.

 
Effects of consumption

Doctors prescribe Norco as an effective pain reliever. Hydrocodone is six times as powerful as morphine. The combination with acetaminophen has a synergistic effect with the hydrocodone, providing a greater amount of pain relief than hydrocodone alone.

 
Impact on the mind/body and health risks

Effects of Norco are similar to those of morphine, including depression of the respiratory and circulatory systems, which could lead to death.

Side effects of Norco can include nausea, dizziness, seizures, allergic reactions, paranoia and drowsiness, as well as the possibility of altered mental states, altered sexual performance, constipation, and hearing loss.

 
Signs of abuse of Norco

Like any prescription pill, signs of abuse of Norco includes “doctor shopping,” fabricated stories of losing one’s prescription, or claiming allergies to all drugs but one particular type.

Families and friends might witness an addict lie about consumption, steal to support one’s habit, and/or stray away from long-time friends for a new set of friends that enable one’s addiction.

 
Common treatment options

Treatment for addiction to Norco should take place in a detox facility in an inpatient capacity in order to guard against more serious problems.

 
Norco withdrawal/detox symptoms

Like any opium-based addiction, withdrawal from Norco is a potentially difficult process that could include vomiting, diarrhea, goose bumps, and cold sweats, lasting days or weeks, depending on the level of use.
