I've had back pain(L2,L4 L5/S1 for years now. Sometimes the pain is tolerable and other times the pain has been severe. I have noticed and learned over the years to take this med RIGHT when I START felling the pain that is 8 or over on a scale from 1 to 10. And this med works great. However, If I wait to take this med until the pain is severe, the med is not as effective, and I'll will have to tak...

This medication is better than all the others they have tried for my chronic pain! No side effects like the rest either. The others made me constipated and would get my system all messed up. Plus, when you can't go,...that makes your pain even worse. I give this medication a 5 overall.

I was prescribed this medication for chronic shoulder pain that did not respond to steroids. It helps with the shoulder pain, but mysteriously does not help with my flare-ups of arthritis in the knees. Strangely, Mobic seems to help that condition better.

I have sever back pain---two back surgeries and cannot have any more.I have several congenitive, progressive back diseases. For 21/2 years I have been on Oxycontin which,for me, works better. However, it is difficult because you must get a new prescription every month, it cannot be called in or faxed in to the pharmacy and my doctor has to get insurance authorization because of the dosage I take--40mg 9 pills per day) So on several occasions, I have subsituted this drug (Lorcet 10650)when I cannot get Oxycontin on a timely basis. It relieves my back pain but I have to take Ibruprophen 800mg with it. I had to take this with the Oxycontin as well. This drug has three side effects which make me not use it all the time. First, I do have trouble sleeping, although I take another drug for insomnia which has always worked effectively. Secondly, this medication gives me intense hot sweats--I feel like I am burning up. This will last for about 20 minutes. But then the sweats will return periodically all day and all night long. This intense heat is usually more prevalent at night. I also lose weight very quickly--about 8 lbs. in four days. Therefore, it makes me week.I wish I could take this instead of the oxycontin because it is much easier to get (just like a regular prescription) and it is cheaper because I am given the generic form (hydrocodone/APAP 10650 tab), however the side affects are hard for me to deal with. However, I may have to stick with this medicine because of the ease of getting it (refills, call in to pharmacy, fax in, no insurance authorization).Read More Read Less

I have used this drug before and it always works. The only problem I have had is that it does not take long to become addicted. You really should not judt quit taking the drug without consulting your doctor either.

I have been taking this medication for about 2 years. It worked well for the first year,but became less effective over time. I had to raise my dosage to get the same relief. Overall it has worked well,but beware this drug IS ADDICTIVE! so take the smallest effective dose and make sure this is the right medicine for you.

Coupled with Soma, Lorcet relieves 95% of my back pain. I have been on this for several years now and rarely do I have to take more than prescribed.
