| 1 | Felt like I wanted to throw up a few hours after taking the pill. I was completely sedentary and was going in and out of conciousness for the rest of the day. Experienced slight hallucinations and might as well have been drunk. Stomach was in knots and cannot seem to think properly. | I would not recommend taking this pill. | M | 1 days | 4/5/2009 | 5 | Broke metacorple in half | a high, hot and sweaty feeling but not really sweating, nasuea, redused eye vision, little upset stomach.. | eat and drink while on this mediction and goto sleep when you take it. | M | 14 | 8 weeks | 1/22/2008 | 4 | Surgery on finger | It helped out a lot with pain however, I don't know if it was me but, I hallucinated quite a few times and it made me a little drowsy. I still found it a very good medicine! | M | 14 | 2 weeks 2 × 500 MG | 5/1/2012 | 3 | Swimmers Ear | Odd dreams, rambling on about random things, all muscles feeling "tingly" | F | 14 | 2 weeks | 11/2/2009 | 5 | broken wrist | tired but couldnt sleep, dry mouth, felt amazing, made body numb | they were the 5-500 | M | 15 | 3 days | 12/17/2008 | 5 | Kidney stones | Slight itchy feeling at times, dizziness, very drowsy sometimes, slight constipation. However very good pain relief. | I found that Lortab worked well in relieving the pain I had due to kidney stones, and if you've ever had a kidney stone you'll know how big of an accomplishment that is. As far as being addicted to this drug, I don't understand. I like that it helps me but I feel that once I'm done with it I couldn't care less about it. So for me it isn't as addictive as people make it out to be. Overall, Lortab served its purpose for me well, with its good well outweighing the side effects. | F | 16 | 10 days 500 3X day | 11/2/2011 | 2 | Pulled Muscle | tired and disorientation | It didn't help at all, except at night where it helped to put me asleep | M | 16 | 20 days | 4/4/2008 | 1 | knee surgery to repair torn menisus | the day after my surgery, i took one lorotab and it make me so sick. it made my chest hurt, i had alot of trouble breathing, very nausiated, severe vomiting, and passing out. i actually felt alot better not taking this medicine and my knee was hurting pretty bad. | F | 16 | 1 days 40 MG 1X day | 7/14/2010 | 3 | ligament reconstruction in ankle | sweating profusely (like to the point where my clothes were SOAKED), extreme hot flashes, light headedness, sick to my stomach, loss of appetite, itching, weird dreams, unable to sleep well | lortab helped the pain a lot but i don't know that it was worth it with all of the side effects. i was taking 5mg every six hours for about 5 days and any time i got up and walked into another room 6 feet away, i thought i was going to pass out because i was so hot. i often felt extremely sick to my stomach when i first woke up and for a couple of hours after, then it went away. the medication made me itch all over and i had a loss of appetite as well. my dreams were often very strange, like none i'd had before and i was unable to sleep well. the medication made me tired, but i laid in bed irritable. i have been off of it for 5 days now and drinking a ton of water to try to get it all flushed out of my system. i'm still having the extreme hot flashes. | F | 17 | 5 days | 8/26/2007 | 1 | Knee Surgery | Severe nausea, itching, rash | This medicine does absolutely nothing to ease my pain... all it does is make me sleepy. | F | 17 | 4 days | 12/15/2005 | 1 | wisdom teeth removal | hives, trouble breathing | I'm not really sure if it worked but I was allergic to it. I did not get much relief from my pain but I also was getting a dry socket. I only took one pill before I found out my allergy. | F | 17 | 1 days | 4/24/2008 | 1 | shoulder surgery | Extreme muscle twitching along with abnormally vivid and psychotic dreams while fading into sleep and violently waking up. All this for minor relief of pain. | I recommend strongly staying away from this particular pain medication. | M | 17 | 4 days | 7/26/2009 | 5 | Peripheral Nerve Damage in leg | Euphoria, Itchy Skin, Drowsiness, Very tired but hard to get to and stay asleep, pinpoint pupils, and of course elimination of pain. | I still take Lortab 5-500 for the Peripheral Nerve Damage in my right thigh and it helps me out A LOT! I love how it takes away my excruciating pain. :) | M | 18 | 3 months | 6/3/2009 | 4 | Fractured ankle | About a half hour after taking this medicine i would experience a muffled sensation in my ears almost as if i was wearing ear muffs. I also was more thirsty, slighty more tired, and somewhat dazed/dizzy. Lortab made it a bit harder for me to concentrate on things, however, it also made me feel at peace. Side effects were minor. | This was prescribed to me as a pain killer and it definitly did its job. The pain in my foot was gone between 30 minutes and an hour after taking this. | F | 18 | 7 days | 1/14/2009 | 4 | Tonsillectomy | Nausea (got better once laying down) and extreme drowsiness. It has alcohol in it so it BURNED when it hit the raw tissue at the back if my throat but I decided to dilute it with water and it helped. | F | 18 | 2 weeks 15MG | 3/11/2014 | 4 | Knee pain | Took Lortab for knee pain, pain was usually worse at night so I took Lortab but it usually keeps me up and I can never fall asleep after taking it. | F | 18 | 1 years | 12/11/2011 | 1 | Oral surgery (wisdom teeth | Random crying spells, deep depression , hopelessness and no sense of self before the drug.still feeling side effects even after I stopped taking them two days ago. | F | 18 | 8 days Not sure | 4/1/2013 | 5 | sprained muscle (Back) | hallucinations(enjoyable), occasional constipation, restlesness on occasion | best drug ive ever taken for pain, and as long as you enjoy the hallucinations youll be fine, take in the presence of a responsible person if on any other drugs (marrijuana, alchohol, etc.) | F | 19 | 1 months | 8/6/2005 | 5 | ACL MCL tear | dude... im stoned everytime i take this and i just dont care i dont feel any pain its just... awesome? | M | 19 | 3 weeks | 4/3/2008 | 4 | ankle surgery | I have had slight nausea but thats all. | Lortab helped me deal with my pain, and still allowed me to function and go to school. I was able to do things and not hurt all the time, all in all I had no side effects and very little pain. | F | 19 | 2 months | 5/13/2002 |
LORTAB (ACETAMINOPHEN; HYDROCODONE BITARTRATE): This combination medication is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains an opioid (narcotic) pain reliever (hydrocodone) and a non-opioid pain reliever (acetaminophen). Hydrocodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever. This product is not recommended for use in children younger than 6 years due to an increased risk of serious side effects (such as slow/shallow breathing). FDA Approval Date: 1997-06-25 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
