What you got was the generic version of Norco, made by Watson. Interestingly, the brand name Norco is also made by Watson.

It's entirely possible that the lower amount of tylenol in the Norco (325 mg) is the reason for less pain relief. After all, Tylenol *IS* a pain reliver. A "regular strength" Tylenol is 325mg. An "extra strength" Tylenol is 500mg.

Tylenol has a reputation as being bad for your liver. But taken in moderate doses, it's entirely safe for your liver. Docs used to say no more than 4000mg of Tylenol per day. I've heard recently that you shouldn't take more then 2000mg of Tylenol a day, if you take it daily. You could take 4 10/500's and just reach that limit.

If you need more than 4 10/500's you probably shouldn't be taking hydro anyway. Hydro, in all it's formulations, is designed for ACUTE pain, not CHRONIC pain. (acute being "short term", chronic being long term.) There are meds with ZERO tylenol that are much more appropriate for chronic pain....
