"Had back surgery in May 2009, and due to scar tissue, I have chronic pain. Working now with a pain management specialist and taking Lortab. It does help alleviate the pain, but I only take it when I have to. The only side effect for me is a little sleepiness."

"I was originally prescribed this for a foot injury. Not one for pain medicines, I reluctantly take these once in a while. However, the last couple of times I have taken them at night due to body aches and pains, it killed the pain, but my sleep was filled with vivid dreams, and I could not reach the deep sleep. I woke up with a headache, hangover feeling, and totally drained throughout the next day - not worth it in my opinion with the side effects I am experiencing. Use with caution."

"Makes me sleepy, but helps with my cough due to not breathing right after some back rib injury from a fall. Kills the pain for over 8 hours, so I can sleep lying down too. Makes me kinda foggy, so I have to focus to get stuff done."

"I was prescribed Lortab for pain due to an infected tooth. I do not feel it helped the pain at all. The only thing that it definitely does is help me fall asleep. I am still in pain waiting for the antibiotics to clear up the infection so I can get a root canal. I haven't got the same results as the people who consider this magical. I really wish it was like that for me."

"It is the only medication that does not make me feel dizzy, drunk, or crazy. I cannot take the medications used for fibromyalgia, so these are all I have."

"Very good for pain, but left me very foggy and nauseous, not able to do much else but sit on the couch and watch football. The Norco hangover the next day was no fun either. Will use only when necessary."
