| 1 | Spinal stenosis herniated disks | My legs and feet became very swollen to the point that I could not wear a pair of shoes. My knees and ankles were painful to move. I had been taking Vicodin for back problems without any reactions. The doctor changed my meds to lortab and the trouble began. I was taken off Lortab and told they don't make Vicodin any more. | F | 61 | 3 weeks 1X day | 3/31/2014 | 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 | 1 | Shoulder Sprain | I felt very itchy. I disrupted sleep patterns. I had horrible headaches. My head felt like a balloon that had to much air in it. | F | 24 | 3 days 7.5mg 2X day | 1/20/2012 | 1 | Back pain | This med did help with my pain somewhat but after I used it for a while I was addicted to it and still can't get off it! I never wouldve dreamed of being an addict but it happened so fast and easy! I would not advise anyone to take this no longer than a couple of weeks because your body becomes so dependent on it and before you know it you are addicted!:( this med has ruined my life! | F | 30 | 1 years 7.5 | 1/14/2012 | 1 | after dental work | vomited, passed out, totally messed up | I only took ONE pill but I had a reaction like an overdose. Suddenly the room was spinning, I passed out, vomited and was just totally out of it. Hubby helped me crawl (I even had to have help crawling! and I could not stand) to bed and I slept for hours. I don't plan to EVER take this again. | F | 33 | 1 times 650 1X O | 1/11/2012 | 1 | Dental Wisdom Teeth Extractions | I have HORRIBLE dreams! Along with this, it has caused back pain, and constipation. I took 1 tablet for pain, had this happen, then took it back to the pharmacist for disposal. He recommended 3 Ibuprofen tablets every 4 hours for pain as needed. I have done this ever since, and have no pain whatsoever. | M | 21 | 2 days 1X day | 7/24/2011 | 1 | Oral Surgery | Nausea, Vomiting, Dizziness, Slight Itching, all in all an EXPERIENCE FROM HELL!!! | This is the DEVIL'S CANDY! Stay away from this evil!!!! | M | 27 | 2 weeks 10-500 1X O | 6/16/2011 | 1 | bowel resection | hands shook, very fatigued,vision problems, constipation, mild itchiness,nausea AND on two occasions...dreadful hallucinations (demonic evil flying around the hospital room)just prior to falling asleep. | Two things: Thankfully I do not believe in demonic evil so while I was hallucinating I was thinking, "This is totally irrational". But if someone believed in demons, I think it could be very dangerous. I stopped the Lortabs and discovered that about 85% of my post op discomfort was caused by the pain medication. | F | 61 | 4 days 7.5 tab 1X AN | 8/11/2010 | 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 | 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 | 1 | tooth replacement (abutment stage) | Extreme sweating, also dizziness. Will never take again. | I was given generic hydrocodone/apap 7.5MG/500MG | F | 50 | 1 days | 5/20/2009 | 1 | breast lift surgery | The lortab gave me vivid dreams, it would make me jerk during the night and would wake up for hours at a time. Unable to eat hardly anything at all while taking the medication. Did not get the pleasant feeling that alot of people talk about getting while taking it. Still experienced pain while on medication so I can not really say that it worked that great for me. | Took it for 6 days after surgery. Have been having insomnia for 5 days since getting off of it. Makes me feel like I am going to jump out of my skin. The withdrawal is not worth it. I will never take this medication again. | F | 38 | 6 days | 5/15/2009 | 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 | 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 | I am not; my wife did | My wife got addicted to lortab and it destroyed my family. We almost lost everything and I had to divorce her. I put my life together but she is basically homeless and jobless at this time. | REMEMBER Acute sharp pain lasts for few days at max for most illnesses and injuries so no need to stay on them any longer than you have to. Please avoid this evil. | M | 49 | 10 years | 1/19/2008 | 1 | Torn Tendon & Collapsed Arch | Horrible Nausea, Dizziness, Can't Sleep but I'm groggy, Itching, Constipation, Hallucinations, Headache | F | 24 | 7 days | 8/24/2007 | 1 | Shattered wrist, spleenectomy, back | Horrible withdrawals!!! Was on 120 7.5 per month. Stopped taking them and had insomnia, night sweats, cold chills, headaches, body aches, diarrhea, and horribly depressed. Ten times worse than the flu, and lasted about a week. Unless I am severely injured, I will never be on this medication!!! | F | 27 | 1 years | 7/18/2007 | 1 | Wisdom Tooth Extraction | Strongly anxious, general feeling of fear, very sensitive to noises and strongly irritable | Somewhat worked for the pain, but my mind was in such a state that I didn't even notice. | M | 27 | 3 days | 9/22/2006 | 1 | Post SeptoTurbinoplasty Surgery | Continued light-headedness, drowsiness, confusion, anxiety, nausea, dizzyness, constipation. | I've not taken it for two days now and the side effects are still quite pronounced. I only took it for two days. This stuff is potent. | M | 28 | 2 days | 7/11/2006 | 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 |
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)
