How treatment works
The first phase of buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) treatment is the induction and stabilization phase. It’s important that patients have mild-to-moderate withdrawal symptoms prior to induction… otherwise, buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) will remove Norco from receptors in your brain, resulting in precipitated withdrawal, which is very unpleasant and dangerous.
At Bicycle Health, our providers and health coaches work with you to determine how long it’ll take to reach mild-to-moderate withdrawal, as well as provide robust psychosocial and physical supports throughout the induction and stabilization phase.

Norco withdrawal symptoms & timeline
It can be scary to experience withdrawal symptoms without knowing the Norco withdrawal timeline. Norco withdrawal can begin as early as a few hours after the last dose, and different people will experience different symptoms based on a variety of factors. Here’s what to expect:
Symptoms occurring between 6-12 hours after the last Norco dose
- Muscle aches
- Restlessness
- Anxiety
- Tears
- Runny nose
- Excessive sweating
- Inability to sleep
- Yawning
- Fatigue
Symptoms occurring between 12-72 hours after the last Norco dose
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal cramping
- Goosebumps on skin
- Nausea and vomiting
- Blurry vision
- Rapid heartbeat
- High blood pressure
Norco withdrawal symptoms are uncomfortable, but there are withdrawal treatments your Bicycle Health provider can prescribe to help relieve these symptoms:
- Clonidine helps reduce anxiety, irritability, muscle aches, sweating, and runny nose;
- Hydroxyzine (Atarax) helps relieve anxiety and insomnia;
- Tizanidine (Zanaflex) helps reduce muscle spasms;
- Ondansetron (Zofran) relieves symptoms of nausea and vomiting;
- Loperamide (Imodium) helps relieve diarrhea; and
- Bentyl helps relieve gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, especially abdominal cramping.
And lastly, once you start buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone), you will experience significant relief from Norco withdrawal symptoms.
