hi all,
I have taken Norco 10/325mg daily for many yrs. as my base pain med.
I think it's effectiveness may be waning but it has always been the best drug for me after 10 yrs of trying many pain drugs. 2 friends have suggested tramadol but I don't know anything about it. I take lyrica and lorazepam daily with the Norco and sometimes Soma and Esgic or Imitrex. I also use lidocaine patches and creams. My pain is neuro, muscular, joint and headaches.

would those of you who have tried both Norco and tramadol please offer your
opinion as to which is the more effective painkiller and by that
I mean strongest.

If you have another pain meds which you find helpful to you I would appreciate
hearing about those as well.
I have tried, over the yrs, Percocet, morphine, diluadid, neurontin, klonopin,
OxyContin, elavil for pain not depression, oxycodone, fentanyl,
and many various muscle relaxers like soma, anti inflams like mobic,
relafenl, voltaren. also flexeril, skelaxin and botox.I also do ESI's every few yrs. along with trigger point injections

my doc scripted me cymbalta and nucynta(sp?) but I was too scared to take them on top of everything else I was on.

thanks and hope you are having a good Sunday. we just cleaned up from another snowstorm, the 2nd this week. I STUPIDLY did what I thought was some light shoveling....bad idea...what a jerk....I just had cabin fever so badly.
take care, Diandra
