| 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 | Back/leg pain | Head ache, nausea, lightheadedness, drowsiness, numbness in face, make that a sever head ache, sweating (general feeling of a high fever), very thirsty and my head feels like it weighs a ton. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I didn't think that naproxyn (Aleve) worked well enough for my pain, so I tried the Lortab, but now I'm just fine with the Aleve). | It took the pain away and I felt great and functional for about an hour and a half, then everything went to hell. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I would rather have sat around in a lot of pain, on the couch, than sit on the couch and feel like I've got the flu real bad... And don't try to do anything slightly physical (or move your head too quickly), you'll regret it instantly. | F | 19 | 1 days | 10/4/2002 | 1 | tendinitis | I feel very sick to my stomach.I am feeling worse after taking the medicine | F | 28 | 1 days | 10/13/2001 | 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 | 5 | torn calf muscle | None that I know of...maybe a little hangover from it. | I must preface this by saying that I've only been taking it since yesterday, but yesterday I was on a table in the doctor's feeling practically UNBEARABLE pain. Excruciating, and I am not generally one to exaggerate. Ends up I have a small ligament rip & a torn muscle...Ouch! I took one Hydrocodone/APAP 5/500 tab ("substituted for Lortab") yesterday, one again last night, and one today. I am trying to be very careful and not take too many, as I've heard that it can be addictive. So far, it has really eased my pain beautifully. I don't feel too loopy, but realize that I'm more loose-lipped than usual, so I must watch it! But the pain relief was a necessity, as I was truly suffering. I will probably only take for a day or two, until I see orthopedic dr. | F | 39 | 2 days | 9/25/2005 | 4 | Kidney stone | Felt like I have a hangover when I woke up this morning. Also felt nauseated and weak, but that could be due to the stone. | Taking the 7.5-500 tabs. Helps with the low to mid-level pain, but doesn't do as well for the severe pain. | F | 51 | 2 days | 8/13/2007 | 4 | Post surgical pain | Allergy: extreme itching, rash | This medication was very effective, however, I developed an allergy to it. | F | 40 | 2 days | 8/13/2008 | 3 | Post ureteroscopy for kidney stones | High anxiety, restlessness, nerves, dry mouth, insomnia, light nausea and dizziness, felt like I was doped up big time and very irritable with my family. | I took it as a replacement for percocet due to the nausea factor. I had 10/10 post-op kidney and ureter pain and it took exactly 1 hour and 5 minutes to eradicate the pain with 2 pills - not good enough. The side effects were worse than just vomiting so I switched back to percocet. Even after being up all night due to the pain I couldn't nap the next day because of nerves despite being dead tired on and off. Once it started working it did take care of the pain for an entire 4 hours. | F | 31 | 2 days | 11/16/2007 | 3 | Severe pain due to viral infection | Horrific nightmares and hallucinations. At one point you couldn't have paid me to sleep. | At first I felt normal on the medication. It did help relieve my pain. However, on the second night I was taking the medication the nightmares and hallucinations set in. | M | 31 | 2 days | 10/26/2007 | 3 | Dental surgery | nausea, shakes, dizziness | It didn't really take the pain away, I felt like I was too dizzy/high to really care that I hurt. The nausea and shakiness are terrible. I don't like it. | F | 27 | 2 days 7.5 2X day | 8/5/2010 | 3 | in pain | Can't get hard or perform | M | 35 | 2 days 5 | 2/18/2012 | 2 | root canal | "drunk" feeling, sleepiness when taken on an empty stomach. No side effects if taken with food. | The first time it worked, for about 2 hours while I got some needed sleep. Now it doesn't do a thing for me. | F | 28 | 2 days | 7/10/2007 | 2 | Oral surgery | Was to take it for 5 days but after extreme nausea stopped medication. | M | 76 | 2 days 7.5/345 4X day | 4/29/2019 | 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 | 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 | 5 | 4 wisdom teeth extracted | Itching, drowsiness, hot and cold sweats. | F | 21 | 3 days 7.5 | 3/6/2012 | 5 | Tooth extraction | Exessive tiredness. Weird lusive dreams, suppressed diet, appetite | Although the side effects, it has been enjoyable. Relieves the aching pan and puts me in a different euphoria state of mind m | M | 23 | 3 days 4X day | 2/25/2012 | 5 | Oral surgery | Mild sedation. This isn't a bad thing at bedtime, but unfortunately I can't take it "every 4 to 6 hours or as needed" because I need to be able to drive and be alert for work. So I use ibuprofen twice a day, even though I'm still in some pain with only that, and use Lortab about an hour before bed. | I was worried about the side effects so I tried taking half of the 5mg pill to see how my body would react. Even at low doses it worked much better than ibuprofen for getting rid of the pain and I had good sleep - feeling rested afterwards, which I normally don't, and I only woke up once - I normally wake up several times. I also have not needed caffeine because I'm sleeping properly and have no caffeine withdrawal headaches (the ibuprofen in the day and Lortab at night probably mask them.) | F | 26 | 3 days | 11/16/2006 | 5 | After difficult root canal | Itching on skin, hot skin which felt like a rash but there wasn't one, serious nausea even when taken with food, causes sleepiness | Great for pain, but there are others just as good with less side effects | F | 58 | 3 days | 7/22/2006 |
