Does Norco Cause Behavioural Changes And Delusion?

My wife recently had a surgical procedure and received Norco as a pain medication. After roughly four days of the medication, we have noticed definite personality changes and she has demonstrated some serious delusional episodes. Is there a possible relationship?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Although Narco can cause delusional disorder but I feel it could be more related to surgery rather than medications. The delusions caused by Narco appear after a long duration and does not show any activity in a week period as in case of your wife.

In my opinion there is need to look for other causes before making conclusions.


Hope I have answered your query.
