| 3 | Abcessed tooth | Nausea, constipation. Really odd dreams. | Sometimes I couldn't feel any pain relief from the medication other times it worked like a charm. | M | 38 | 5 days | 5/28/2007 | 3 | sprained knee | Auditory hallucinations, dreaming felt more like an | It's wokring pretty well so far. I have troulbe sleeping due to the movement of my knee causing pain. i wish it could do something about the | F | 21 | 5 days | 2/2/2005 | 2 | Shingles on back | Nightmares if I can get to sleep, wake up disoriented every 1/2 hour to 1 hour, generally felt unable to function but got no relief from pain, itching all over body, almost as if I couldn't control my own legs or arms | This just didn't work for me but might for others. I don't like the disfunctional (out of control of my body) feeling it left me with. | F | 45 | 5 days | 2/16/2006 | 2 | Breast Lift Surgery | Insomnia, muscle twitches while taking the medication. Dry mouth and constipation also. It made me very tired at first, but after a few days I had insomnia. | I recommend Darvocet or Tylenol #3 instead. They last a lot longer and don't have all the side effects and they are not as often abused. | F | 36 | 5 days | 4/22/2009 | 4 | KNEE PAIN | STOMACH PAIN, NAUSEAU, AND DIARREHA | MY MOTHER TOOK LORTAB FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS. WHEN SHE TRIED TO STOP TAKING THE DRUG SHE FELT LIKE SHE WANTED TO DIE. SHE EXPERIENCED STOMACH PAIN, NAUSEAU, AND DIARREHA. THIS DRUG HELPS THE PAIN BUT THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE UNBELIEVEABLE. I WOULD SUGGEST ANYONE TAKING THIS MEDICINE TO DO SO WITH CAUTION. SEEING MY MOTHER GO THROUGH WITHDRAWAL HAS BEEN A VERY DEVASTATING EXPERIENCE FOR MY FAMILY AND I SO PLEASE USE THIS DRUG WITH CAUTION. | F | 60 | 6 days | 5/12/2004 | 4 | Tonsillectomy | Upset Stomach, almost gave me an ulcer | I took the liquid with 500 acetaminiphon, and 7.5 lidocaine for my sore throat. I really wish it didn't ruin my stomach because it definitely took away the pain. Will have to get a different drug tomorrow after being up till 3am with bad stomach ache. | F | 39 | 6 days | 1/23/2006 | 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 | 5 | bruised ribs | euphoria, tingles throughout body, spacey/high, dry mouth | I absolulty love Lortab, it knocks my pain completly out, plus awesome euphoric feeling. Also I was very talkative, I couldnt shutup. I talked my b/f's head off. It just made me feel happy. Anyway glad I cant get my hands on these anytime I want b/c I would get addicted!! | F | 26 | 7 days | 2/6/2009 | 5 | Broken Tooth - Exposed Nerve | Light Headedness, "Drunk" feeling, nausea, itchy skin, blurred vision, sleepy feeling. | This is helping me tremendously. My broken tooth gave me so much pain, and I was trying to wait until my good dental insurance kicked in. Well the pain became too unbearable and the dentist perscribed me this while I wait for my dental appointment (the extraction appointment) This has helped out so much, I prefer the side effects rather than the horrendous pain that I was in. Its a good thing though that I am a housewife, and that my other two children are with my previous husband for a week. I can't do much other than lie down, or sit down. I stagger when I walk, I get nausea when I move to much. It basically has me immobile. But I can deal with this rather than the pain. Thankfully I am getting the tooth removed so that I don't have to take this pain medication anymore. I worry about the side effects of stopping the medication, but I can deal with that. Heck if you can quit smoking, you can quit Lortab. =) | F | 27 | 7 days | 12/29/2005 | 4 | patellar tendinitis | shallow breathing, dry mouth, and lightheadedness | This medicine really helped me walk without pain. The only drawbacks are its short lifespan and the side effects, otherwise this is a very good medication for moderate pain | M | 23 | 7 days | 6/19/2002 | 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 | 3 | Shoulder reconstructive surgery | Nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and fairly severe itching (especially in the palms of my hands). | I had to switch medication as the pain to gain ratio was too negative: too many side effects and not sufficient pain control. Medication initially controlled the very severe post op pain somewhat, but after a week - when the pain levels became more tolerable - the side effects of the medication became too cumbersome. Switched medications by doctors orders. | F | 49 | 7 days | 3/13/2009 | 3 | Recovery from ovarian surgery | CONSTIPATION!!! Itchy | Beware before you take this, it will constipate you!! Not very fun. I had my ovary removed and Lortab helped to make my body as a whole feel better, but I still had a stinging pain in my lower abdomen around where my ovary was. | F | 28 | 7 days | 9/17/2008 | 3 | TONSILLECTOMY | I was sleepy, very sweaty and felt disoriented. I did not sleep well, I woke up about every 30 min. I also had nightmares. I don't know if the above are all due to lortab, or maybe the anestesia. | It helped, but did not completly kill the pain. Also,it did not work for 6 hours. After about 3 hours it wore off. | F | 34 | 7 days | 5/4/2004 | 3 | Kidney Stones, Sprained Lower Back | nausea, itching especially on legs, dizziness, lack of appetite, drowsiness but difficulty sleeping | Ive used this medication several different times. After having my daughter 3 years ago I developed kidney stones and often have flare ups which require pain management medication often being prescribed Lortab. More recently I was prescribed Lortab for a sprained lower back, seems to take the edge off but the side effects are almost not worth it. Vicodin seems to help me much better as i was prescribed this for kidney stones as well. | F | 23 | 7 days 500 1X AN | 9/27/2010 | 3 | back and neck spasms | Extreme fatigue and drowsiness | I don't take pills unless I MUST; my pain was not manageable otherwise. I'm off them now because I worry about dependency. They do give you a great, temporary "drifting" feeling, though, that I can see could be attractive when stressed. So, "taker beware", I suppose.... | F | 53 | 7 days 10 mg 1X day | 7/15/2010 | 3 | Dental Surgery | Headache, insomnia, euphoria, constipation | The side effects were not bad enough for me not to take the medication again if I had to. The headache I would get from it was mild and you can take motrin along with the lortab for that. | F | 32 | 7 days 5/500 2X AN | 6/2/2010 | 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 | 5 | hip replacement | No side effect - wonderful results | M | 66 | 8 days 7.5 mg | 2/7/2015 | 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 |
