For constant back pain I have found this is the only one I can take and function day to day with minimal side effects.

This med takes approximately 1 hour for me to receive any kind of relief from my illness. I was diagnosed with shingles and this really only dulled the pain and did not fully relieve me.

I take this medication for lower back pain,It works very well,but not as well when taken over time.Still its much better tha ultram,tramadol.etc. which does nothing for pain.No side effects other than it can be habit forming which is why doctors are hesitant to prescrbe it.It's the only med. that works for me.

I was prescribed this drug because of migraines. I took it two different times when the pain was severe and had only a mild improvement with the pain. I then became very nausiated and vomitted for 6 hours straight! I thought it was caused by the pain but was given Lortab again after a surgery recently and had the same reaction. The vomitting was intense and I wanted to die. Will never take it again!

I originally took this medication for severe pain but found that it also helped with my RLS and neuropathy. I find it better to take ONE medication then 2 or 3 with the same kind of side effects. The only side effect was dry mouth, but this is one medication that can be addictive if not careful. Follow your doctors instructions.

I have Carpal Tnuuel Syndrome - the pain relief & ability to get a good nights sleep were very good. The nausea was less than pleasant.

I took lortab for a toothache until I have surgery. It made me so sick and nauseus until I thought I was going to die and still had pain. I even broke it in half like the doctor suggested, but still that didn't help.

I have chronic headaches as well as Fibromyalgia. I went to pain clinics and everything trying to find out what my problems were. Lortab has been the most relief I have had compared to other brands.

I take one right before class, and I can make it through a three hour class with only minimal pain. I take it due to a hurt back and hip from a car accident.

I took this for pain for an arm fracture. It worked ok for the first few days until I took it on an empty stomach. BIG mistake!! I went from cold chills one minute to the sweats the next. Along with that came nausea, stomach cramps, overall weakness, fatigue. I took it again (eating first) and had an allergic reaction with itching, hives and feeling like I drank 20 cups of coffee! This drug may work for some, but I will never take it again.

I take this med for acute migraines. It works on the mild ones but won't even touch the bad ones unless I take 1 1/2 to 2 7.5. It makes me feel a little anxious when I take it but it's not too bad otherwise.
