I heard the brand name is discontinued. Only the generic form is available. I use this for my chronic back pain. Since I don't have any choice but to use the generic, I find that it doesn't help much at all. Where can I find the brand name?

I had oral surgery with a large amount of infection. This drug allowed me to sleep and aided very well with the facial pain that I experienced.

I was in an auto accident in 2004 & have been receiving steroid injections every 2 to 3 months in my back for pain. Sometimes it works, most times it doesn't last very long. The doctor prescribed Vicodin ES for those days when I just cannot ease the pain with any of my personal remedies. This usally occurs about 3 times a month. It works VERY well for me.
