Norco Withdrawal

Norco withdrawals are painful and can take an excruciating long time to subside without medical aide. The medicine is a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen and is usually prescribed for people suffering from moderate to severe pain. If you have abused Norco and have become addicted to the medication, suddenly stopping the drug will cause what is known as a Norco withdrawal.

Meditox can help if you or a someone you care about is abusing Norco.

What is a Norco Withdrawal?

Norco is an opioid-based medication. Opioids work on the brain and body to prevent the acknowledgment of pain. If Norco has been misused, and has been taken longer than prescribed or in larger doses than recommended, a Norco addiction will become evident. When the medicine is stopped or the dosage is shorted, withdrawals from the drug will take place.

What are the Symptoms of a Norco Withdrawal?

Symptoms of a Norco withdrawal include:

Insomnia
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Cold flashes with goose bumps
Restlessness
Involuntary leg movement

All people experience withdrawal symptoms from Norco differently. Symptoms may seem more enhanced or less, depending on your addiction to Norco.

What Causes Norco Withdrawal?

If taken properly as prescribed, Norco is capable of managing pain well. Studies have proven that when used medically for a limited time and under correct dosing, opioid drugs are sound and usually do not cause an addiction. However, if Norco is abused, the body acclimates to the drugs' presence and when the medicine is stopped or reduced, the result is a Norco withdrawal.

What are the Treatment Options for Norco Withdrawal?

There are many treatment options available for Norco withdrawals. The majority of withdrawal treatments consist of supportive care and medications. In spite of that, many of the options are not available to most. For instance, Methadone is a commonly prescribed medication for those who are going through opioid withdrawals. However, Methadone is only administered in Methadone clinics. By taking this route, the patient will have to travel to the clinic daily to receive their medication or be admitted to a clinic. For most, neither is a comfortable option.

Fortunately, a new medication called buprenorphine has been approved to treat the withdrawal symptoms of Norco. Buprenorphine is available to be prescribed in a doctor's office at Meditox.
