Is taking 2 hydrocodone 5mg/500mg tablets the same as taking 1 norco 10mg/325mg tablet?

i think you are correct. i think the second amount after the / is the acetametophin. ive known five people that have been prescribed vicodin/norco/oxycontin that really needed something for pain due to accidents/ lupus/ etc. all five of these people are dead because they became acutely addicted. please be very careful with this. the mere fact that you're asking has me worried for you. i could be way off. im serious, please be careful :)
