For Pain "I take Lortab 7.5/325 3-4 times a day for back pain. It works great. I feel like I have my life back. Before, I was in pain all the time. It only made me feel loopy the first couple of times. After that, it just took the pain away. I would recommend this drug to anyone who has chronic back pain."

For Back Pain "When I got ran over by the 18-wheeler, tried everything. Chiropractor, physical therapy, tramadol, etc. Nothing stopped the pain. Lortab 7.5 is the only thing that works. Take 1/2 in the morning, 1/2 at lunch, and 1/2 in the evening. Just watch for dizziness, nausea, and I guess that's a side effect. I feel loopy and detached a little, but it's better than hurting all the time. Most definitely don't mix with booze, it made me sick as a dog. Also, watch your tolerance. One day, I tried to take a whole one and had to lay down. Just be mindful it hits everyone differently. Hope this helps."

For Pain "Lortab is a very strong pain reliever. It takes between 1-2 hours to fully kick in. The problem I had with it was: 1) Felt like I was in a mental 'fog' effect for days. 2) Constipation - drink a lot of water. I have had 20 pills over a period of 3 years for periodic intense leg, ankle, or back pain due to work. I have switched to Tramadol 50mg with less side effects."

For Pain "I have been taking this drug for the last couple of months for severe shoulder pain, neck pain, and upper back pain... due to a recent auto accident... I had whiplash, a pinched nerve in my neck, and nerve damage in my shoulder, and it seems to work amazingly to ease pain that is sometimes so unbearable it hurts to move my head. I haven't experienced any bad side effects except for the occasional drowsiness and loopy feeling, but the benefits definitely outweigh that, and I'd recommend this medicine to anyone in severe pain. As everyone else has said, use with caution and take only as needed per doctor's orders. Don't know how I would have or would be functioning now without this drug and Zanaflex."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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."
