Is Norco Along With Oxycodone Advisable For Severe Pain?

My doctor of 14 years has prescribed me pain medication. i have turned down at least 3000 pills of norco in the past 2 years. He has me on oxycodone, which I didn t want to ever go on. Now he just cut me back to 1/3 of my dose of oxycodone, and won t prescibe any norco for break thru pain. I am in pain 24/7. I don t sleep, and I wake up every 2 hours with pain in my lower back, left shoulder, and more! I have had to do much physical work in the past 2 months, and have only taken 4 30n mg oxycodone a day, plus he prescibed me 360 pills a month for norco 10/325, which I turned down all the time. Now that I need them, he has cut me back to 1/3 of oxycodone I took, and no norco. I go to a psychologist counselor also, and he has told me I should take more than I actually do take of my pan med s?? What do I do know?? YYYY@YYYY

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.

* Norco can be considerd along with Oxycodone for severe pain control,
but beware of extensive central nervous system depression with axial
effects over the brain and neurons.

You may feel dizziness, drowsiness or other numb symptoms after highest combined dosages of both and hence not recommended usually unless evaluated and prescribed by expert physician.

Hope this information will help you to understand in greater details.
Do feel free to discuss anything ahead of this.

Thanks.
