along with a time released morphine capsule (Amirix). I was on the Lortab for 2 years when it started not working for me anymore. My doc added the Amirix about a year ago and now neither one seem to do much to help me. I havee always had a high tolerence for pain meds. What should I do? Will my tolerence ever improve? Do I need to try a different med until the Lortab start working again?
Suffering. Please advise.

Your body develops tolerance to the pain meds and over time the dose needs to be adjusted higher, or a stronger pain medication prescribed. There are many people this has happened to who have never taken any more medication that was prescribed by their doctor. These people are not addictions and should not be treated as such. There is a very clear line between addiction and tolerance - someone who plays by the rules and does everything as they were supposed to - they should not be treated like they are addicts. No way.
What is the affect of uncontrolled pain doing to the organs? To the adrenals? Constant, unrelenting stress can cause a lot of damage also. In a perfect world there would be no pain, no addiction, and no damage to any organs or bodily systems. Unfortunately it is not a perfect world.

sounds like somebody needs to go to rehab for a pain killer addiction. then go to physical therapy and fix the problem instead of covering it up with pain meds. no offense but what do u think all those pills over a period of time is doing to your organs?
