Nucynta
pain
"On Norco-10 for 4 years-C4-C5 herniated disc. I went from 3/day to 4 or 5 a day as my tolerance built.  18-20 months ago, doctor suggested Nucynta 100 3x a day.  The max pain relief was just as good as the Norco-10, but I told the doctor that I wanted to go back to Norco because the Nucynta would "crash" me between doses-fell off VERY quickly the last couple hours.

Got to two months ago.  Doctor sends me to a PM specialist because he's not happy with all the acetaminophen.  She puts me on tramadol and tells me to slowly back off the Norco.  First, tramadol didn't work for pain, 2nd it nauseated me BADLY. Told her my history with Nucynta and she put me on 150mg ER 2x/day.  All GOOD 3 weeks later BUT with 1 or 2 Norco as supplements for breakthrough pain. "
