I had a real bad month last month (august) and took some norco's for some extra relief. I go to a PM DOC. and he gives me 5/500 vicodin 3 times a day. I went in for a epideral inj. after telling my Doc. I was having severe pain and out of no where I had to take a urine test right before the injection.
I took 2 norco's for 2 days before my urine test / injection and was wondering if the GC-MS test will show a different drug in my system or are they so simular it will show I was taking my vicodin / HYDROCODONE???
Any help with this subject would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS

The only difference is the amount of hydrocodone, norcos come in 5, 7.5, and 10mgs of hydrocodone. But like goat said you are probably good. Be careful, you dont want to do something to get blacklisted.
JJ is right. Use this scare as motivation to keep to the program in the future..
But no you should be fine. You are prescribed 15mgs of hydrocodone per day. Without more info than you've provided we could guess the norco (same active ingredient as Vicodin) is either 5 or 10mgs...so you took either 10 or 20mgs. Either way its about right...
Just think though...this could have cost you your current and future treatment...try to stay with your program

I take lora tabs for pain 10/500 6 per day. I asked my wife to get me one during the night and she gave me one of hers, a 10/325 percocet. Great. I have a six panel (?) test in 2 days. will they both show uo as an opiate or am I in trouble???
any help on my question just posted?
You gotta give us more than 3 minutes to respond, hehe...Unfortunately, percocet and vicodin can show up as different medications on some tests. It really depends on the test that your doctor runs. Some just show a positive for opiates, others can show which specific opiates were taken. It seems that most pain clinics/doctors who prescribe pain meds that give UA's will give the tests that show which specific pain killers were taken. I think they like these tests better because they give more information. There is a possibility that by the time you take the test it will be out of your system or the levels will be low enough that they won't throw a positive result for percocet. If I were you I'd gauge your relationship with your doctor and look at what's on the line and think about what your doctor's reaction might be if you revealed your honest mistake before the test so it doesn't look suspicious. Of course, if your doctor is uptight and will drop you for it then you may want to take your chances. But to answer your question, it just depends on what test is given as to whether or not it will show up as just opiates taken or if it will show that you took vicodin and percocet. Also, like I said it may already be out of your system by the time you take the test so you may not have to worry. Everyone's body excretes opiates at different rates, depending on factors like metabolism, on your weight, on how much you exercise, on how much you sweat, etc. Hope this answers your question.
the Dr. you ask your wife to bring you a pain pill, an by mistake she gave you 1 of hers, he does the UA s see s there s only trace amount of oxycodone should be no problem
sleepy people make mistakes, it would be a common mistake for a spouse to reach for their medication instead of yours.

I see where that could happen.. But when she handed you the pill, didnt it feel , and look diffrent than your reg. pain pill? I mean 10/325 are alot smaller than a vicoden 10/500 arent they? Im just sayin.... maybee im wrong. Anyway I wish you luck :)
I looked at my lab results from last month and its looks like the intended use is for detection of oxycodone. It also test for BARB SC: OPIATE: THC SC: AMPHET: COC SC: BENZO: PCP SC:.
I tested positive for OXY SC, BENZO and OPIATE. I only took what was perscribed. I'm not sure what Benzo is.
I just wanted to know with this test perameters (above) if there would be any detection of the percocet. Still worried.
When you wrote there is a diff between vicodine and percocet, is vicodone the same as hydocodone (lora tabs)?
Benzo is short for benzodiazepam//valium..
vicodin is hydrocodone
you said you tested positive for oxy, short for oxycodone.
all the info has been helpful. my doc is very reluctant to give out med's. I have to go to the VA. Where I live the VA is very small and has limited staff and procedures. Therefore I go to Richmond VA. VA for injections, checkups ect.. My doc here won't follow the recommendations of the poly-trauma surgical staff in Richmond. Hummm. This NOV. I'm having the nerves burnt. I've already had the cold burn. It helped for approx 4 months. Trying to put off a very major surgery as long as I can.
Have been on morphine 15mg 2x daily and hydrocodone 10mg (lora tabs) 6x daily for over 2 years. It just does'nt cut it anymore. Stuck, frustrated in the VA system.
give me relief most of the time..had it done many many times since 2000
an feel You getting bad or insufficent treatment contact Senator Jim Webb, He has a big heart for military families

Benzodiazepine. What the heck is benzodiazepam goat? I believe you took two words and made a new one. Benzodiazepine and Diazepam.
Silly Goat.
Deanna, in gardengrounds defense an Endocet 10/325 (E712) or Mallinckrodts 10/325 (m523) is only slightly smaller and the same shape as say a Mallinckrodt Lortab 10/500 (m361). Also gardenground its not Lora Tabs its Lortab there is no laura sound when saying the name of the medication, its just Lortab, like Lore in Folk Lore. Believe it or not my doctors RN makes this mistake all the time as well, you would think someone who writes, types and says the word several times a day/week would atleast know how to do it right, oh she also says, writes, types Loricet and OxyContine Ive also seen her write OxyContin IR too. Sorry off topic, just a little funny.
