For Back Pain "I changed pharmacies from Walgreens to CVS. I had my prescription filled, and it’s a different brand, G037 acetaminophen/hydrocodone. This brand is making me sick. I was taking M367 acetaminophen/hydrocodone, and it worked well, just enough to get me through the day. They need to fix this because people will want to move up to something stronger. Something definitely is wrong with the medicine."

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 Back Pain "Okay, well, at first, this medication was pretty cool, it took away all my pain and not only that, but gave me extra energy as well. Before I had my son, I would not let doctors prescribe me narcotic painkillers for anything, as I had been addicted to Vicodin in the past. So, my son was born, and I then developed bursitis from years of running in the army, working out, and a combo of a hip surgery and other factors. At first, I went to a chiropractor three times a week, massage therapy, physical therapy, and finally told the doctor I had to have some pain medication, it was so bad it changed my life. I started taking these two years ago, and now they don't help me, but if I don't take them, I get sick! :( Wish I'd never started on them now."

For Back Pain "This medicine is good if you can get past the side effects. I was sick, dizzy, felt like throwing up, felt like I was on a ship moving fast, or like car sickness. I went to see a dentist, and he told me how best to take the medicine. Take Dramamine 30 minutes before, make sure to lay down, don't get in the car, and do not watch TV. Everything he told me was right."
