Takes away pain but not complete stiffness so take ibfrofen with it norm in 800 mg dose. Can some times give me energy or make me tired. Depends on eating habbits after yr found. For instance when I know ill eat something make me lethergic I. Take one keeps the ittus away. Take on emtpy tummy ill get slight dizzy and sleepy spells like I'm "too high". Most part its fine. | M | 30 | 1 years 10 | 1/26/2012 | 5 | After dental work | Made me sleepy and itch but not an extreme itch, just noticed when I actually had time to notice. | F | 20 | 4 days 8X day | 1/20/2012 | 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 | 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 | 4 | Endometriosis | Upset stomach but once you lay down a while that goes away.. | I have suffered for years with horrible cramps. I have had three surgeries and still suffer. | F | 35 | 10 years 10 4X day | 12/9/2011 | 5 | Bulging and herniated disk with spine inflammed | NONE its all good! It really helps back pain when taken as needed! | F | 39 | 10 years 10/500 | 11/22/2011 | 3 | Pain after minor surger | It does help with pain, but it caused severe itching, especially on my scalp, so couldn't take it at night. | M | 53 | 8 days 10mg 4X day | 11/8/2011 | 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 | 5 | oral surgery on tonsils | slight dizziness. immediate results with oral suspension with pills constipation | i prefer the liquid to the pill just because its easier on your system. | F | 29 | 4 days 2tbsp 8X day | 9/23/2011 | 5 | annoying leg pain, hip and L5-S1 | Normal constipation that comes with taking opiates/opioids. Tolerance seems to build up quicker than tramadol for me. These may only work for 2-3 hours max after an extended period of time. | Hydrocodone works for the little time it lasts. I've had hip/back pain and leg weakness for 10 years with no dx. I tried to tough it out for so long (drinking alcohol, using marijuana, all sorts of drugs) but I finally said screw it and got on some pain meds with a small dose of xanax (alprazolam). A doctor I trust told me I'll probably need to take pain meds the rest of my life and just to keep the pain under control to be able to function. For constipation, here's what you do. Make sure you take either stool softeners/laxatives and/or Miralax (plenty of fiber) either 2 hours before or 2 hours after your scheduled dose. I eat a fiber bar every morning with coffee also. Once I started doing that, I've been going normal again (best I've gone in years). Why don't they make extended release Hydrocodone minus the tylenol? That would be great!!!!!!!!! | M | 31 | 3 months 7.5 3X day | 8/18/2011 | 5 | Degenerative disk disease | Constipation, nausea if mistakenly take too much. | Take responsibly and it works very well. It has helped my back pain so much that I have skipped my 6 month spinal block because the Lortab allows me to do yoga, walk, and other exercise to help my muscles (girdle), to help support my spine. *DRINK LOTS OF WATER to avoid constipation and you will be fine. I have never have to worry about if I wish to stop, I have stopped several times with only shaking, then I am fine. If you can use this, just be smart. | F | 42 | 9 months 7.5 mg 2X day | 8/10/2011 | 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 | 4 | Broken metatarsal | BLOATING, gas, nausea, sweating | Lortab does what it is supposed to do - it releaves the pain. However, I have to take it with food so I do not get nauseas, hot, and feel like I am about to pass out. The only thing I hate about it is that it makes me extremely bloated. It hasn't made me constipated. | F | 21 | 5 days 5 mg 3X day | 7/13/2011 | 4 | Unidentified abdominal pain | Slight dizziness, occasional euphoric feeling, drowsiness | The medication did a great deal to take the edge off when I began experiencing mysterious abdominal pain. I was prescribed Lortab in order to lessen my pain while my doctor was waiting for ultrasound and blood test results to identify what specific condition I was suffering from. Occasionally, I felt light-headed or dizzy, especially when the pills first kicked in. I did not feel itchy or nauseous, though, which was a pleasant surprise since I sometimes have a bad reaction to Percocet (which I've been prescribed after two different surgeries). I would advise people to take caution with driving until they know how the medication affects them. For instance, my first dosage didn't kick in until almost 2 hours after I took it, and it was pretty mild, but subsequent dosages felt much more powerful and may have compromised my ability to drive long distances. | F | 22 | 5 days 5/500 2X day | 6/19/2011 |
