Norco Addiction

Norco is an opiate pain reliever that has the potential to be habit forming. Norco is a combination of hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen. That same combination is also marketed under the names Lortab, Lorcet, Vicodin and Zydone. It is used in the treatment of moderate to moderately severe pain and is useful as a cough suppressant. Hydrocodone is the opiate component of Norco and also the one that can lead to addiction. A Norco addiction is serious, requiring a proper medical detox to avoid serious health complications. Fortunately, it is treatable. Narcotic painkillers like Norco work on opiate receptors in the body and brain. It is a Schedule III Controlled Substance in the U.S., meaning it has moderate potential for abuse and addiction. The federal government classifies drugs on a scale from one to five based on factors including abuse potential and accepted medical uses.

Schedule I drugs have the highest potential for abuse and include heroin. Schedule V drugs have the least potential for abuse and addiction.

It is very important to take all medications, including Norco, exactly as directed by the prescription’s label. Misuse and abuse of prescription opiates has increased dramatically in the last several years. Many people who are addicted to Norco have done nothing wrong. A physical dependency to Norco occurs accidentally for many. Even after relatively short-term use, a tolerance can develop in the body. This is when the user’s system becomes used to the drug and requires more and more to achieve the pain relieving effect. Taking Norco more often or more frequently than recommended can lead to dependency and addiction. You will know if you are physically addicted to Norco if you stop taking it suddenly or gradually decrease dosage and withdrawal symptoms appear. Symptoms can include vomiting, chills, nausea, restlessness, insomnia, cold flashes and involuntary leg movements. Opiate withdrawal can last weeks or months, depending on the person and severity of the addiction.
