I've had prescriptions for Lortab, Darvocet and Ultram for back pain. Lortab works great, as Ultram does also, but not Darvocet. Hydrocodone can be addictive though, so use caution when taking it. I haven't really had any adverse effects from it, besides a tingling sensation and a little bit of itching (neither bother me though).

I have taken hydrocodone off and on for many years. I have two degenerated Lumbar discs and one that is herniated. I have also taken this medication post-op for a compound tib/fib fracture of my leg and a crushed ankle. IT IS A VERY ADDICTIVE COMPOUND! So, eventhough it has been very effective for me, you have to know when and when not to take it. Focusing and other homeopathic treatments can work ... Show Full Comment

So, eventhough it has been very effective for me, you have to know when and when not to take it. Focusing and other homeopathic treatments can work if you know how to use them. From my own professional medical experience, most people do not follow how prescriptions are written by their M.D. Rule of thumb - if a medication causes a poorer quality of life or does not have effect that is wanted, refer back to your M.D. and quit taking the medication!

I have taken this for over 3 years. I have a bad back and work construction. I dont take everyday just the bad ones. It allows me to work. and gives me a better quality of life.The only side affect is it makes you itch.

I was perscribed this for pain after a surgery(kidney). It made it worse. My lower back hurt so bad i went to the emergency room. they then told me to see my reg. dr. Spoke to my reg dr, and she said to stop use, and try to flush from my system. Took tylenol the rest of the day drank a gallon of water, and am now back to work. Has this happened to anyone else?
