Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: I take this for nerve pain now and it helps me more than Cymbalta or Lyrica. I take 3 of 10/500 Lortab it usually take 30 to 40 minutes to take effect and usually gives a burst of energy or gives the motivation to go and get things done, like washing the car, going to work, etc.

Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: I have used Lortab for years and it works better than any other pain medication I have tried and I have tried lots of them. I have Mono-neritus multi-plex (spelled wrong I think) and have been on Oxy, Methadone, and other powerful class II narcotics. I take one every 6 hours (4 a day) most of the time and up to 6 maximum if needed as over that you exceed the 4000 units of acetaminophen, which will effect your liver and I try and stay below the 3000 range. Yes, you get dependent on this drug but when you hurt so bad. It is a very effective old school medicine that works for me and many others with arthritis. I give it 5*****'s.

Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: I've been on this medicine for 9 years now. I take one every four hours, and it is a God send. I have two ruptured discs in my back, and with it I am pain free. Over time you may become tolerant to it, and need more to get the same relief.

Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: This is a good pain medication, however, there are side effects. As with any opiate the drug can and usually does cause dependency. Long period use is extremely hard on the liver due to the high levels of Acetaminophen. Some people experience drowsiness, while others experience insomnia. On a scale of 1 to 10, the pain in my personal experiences will be reduced from a 10 to a 5 in approximately 30 minutes. I recommend speaking with your doctor about alternatives if you are going to be treated in the long term.

Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: I have Firbromyalgia and I take 3 to 4 daily depending on how bad the pain is for that day. Less pain and it's way worth it.

Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Back Pain: Works great but when I stop taking them I feel really tired and I get hot then cold, very uncomfortable. I'm only 21 and I've been taking them since I was 12. I also think it has a role in my ulcer.
Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: I took this for degenerative disc disease when Percocet stopped working. It helped me as much as Percocet. It was slightly more sedating than Percocet, but at the same time, it helped me rest better. I am not currently on pain pills, but if I had to have any, and had an option, it would probably be Lortab 10.
Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: This is a great low level breakthrough pain medication for people who do not have a tolerance built up for pain medications.
Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: The only pain medicine that work for my headaches and joint pain. I am only 20 years old and have been on them since I was 14. I also take xanax for my anxiety and pseudo tumor cerebri. Works great.
Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: I have found that it gives me pretty severe headaches but it does help me get through the day and eases the pain for my healing broken leg.
Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: Due to a drunk driver hitting me when I was 17, I now suffer from precipitating migraines which is due to blood in my spinal column. I am allergic to traditional migraine medicines so Lortabs are the only medicines I can depend on to actually help me. I do not take large doses but do take it consistently when I have an attack and truth be told, I would not be able to make it through the simplest of days without it. Please drink a lot of water and fluids and it will make you constipated. Stool softeners will also help.
Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: This is a decent drug for my ills. Unfortunately it's beginning to lose it's effectiveness after a little over a year. Of course, your mileage may vary.
Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: This medicine helps my back pain a lot. Now I can actually play outside with my daughter with no back pain.
Lortab 10/500 (acetaminophen / hydrocodone) for Pain: I have been taking Lortab for 6 years since I was 13 yrs old for migraine headaches because I'm allergic to NSAIDs. I started out taking 5/500 for 2 years. Then my Dr put me on 7.5/500 for 3 1/2 years. Now I'm on 10/500. The 10/500 work the best for my pain problems. They help me get on about my day I only need to take 2 a day because they work good. Thanks.
