Hi ~ It would seem to me that you should be on a long-acting medication, like MS Contin or OpanaER -- something that lasts 8 hrs or so. The Norco doesn't last long at all. You're lucky if it lasts even CLOSE to your next dosage, and usually it doesn't.

I'm pretty sure Norco does come in higher strengths but then you get more "Tylenol" too, which is damaging to your liver. How long have you been on Norco? I hope you have occasional Liver Panels' done to check on your liver function.

I wish you the very best. Let us know what happens, ok? Hugs, Lee
