For a time, I was actually on
both. I suffer from Spinal Stenosis (SP?), and my doctor had me on
Lortab 7.5/500mg 5x Daily and
MS Contin 60mg 3x Daily. Based solely on that, I honestly feel the Lortab worked better for
me, anyway. I also didn't like the side-effects from MS Contin.
At the beginning of this year, I started seeing a new doctor, as my former doctor was facing legal issues for over-prescribing narcotic pain killers. My new doctor weened me off MS Contin, lowered my Lortab to 4x Daily, and in that, changed the acetaminphen component from 500mg to 325mg. I am actually doing well with all things considered. Though, different drugs affect people differently.
