I struggled with a "complicated extraction" as the dentist put it on my wisdom teeth. I struggled with the pain for a while but eventually requested some meds. The dentist gave me this and it knocked out the pain very fast. It made me fall asleep instantly. WARNING!!!- Although this drug was very effective, I cut my dosage in half of what the dentist recommended. I found myself confused, my sleep ...

DO NOT USE THIS MEDICATION LONGER THAN A FEW DAYS FOR PAIN. BETTER TO USE ANOTHER PAIN MED THAN BECOMING ADDICTED TO THIS POWERFUL NARCOTIC!!!! ALSO CAUSES HALLUCINATIONS, NIGHTMARES, TREMORS, INABILILTY TO CONCENTRATE OR SLEEP. IT SHOULD NOT BE ON THE MARKET!!!

I found myself wanting more doses in shorter lengths of time. When I cut back the dosage and increased the time between doses, I experienced involuntary body movements and inability to sleep.

I have very severe migraines when ever I have pain and just try to weigh it out as long as I can and then it gets to much I take my Lortab and it helps the pain, at times I do have to say not all the time does it go away but it knocks the heck out of it.

Chronic back pain. Injury - broken/cracked vertebraes as a teenager 35+ yrs ago. Functioned throughout life with pain as I believe I have a high tolerance for pain. Of course, with any narcotic you have to be careful and have the wherewithall NOT to become addicted. Could not function on a daily basis without somekind of pain control. Personal decision not to have surgery as I work in the health care field.

WARNING!!!!This has got to be the worst pain medicine someone with cronic pain could ever use. If you take loratab more than a few months you will become addicted. They are too easy to over take. You'll find yourself taking 3 per day the 4 then 5 and so on. I almost lost everything (wife, family & job) to this medicine. Good drug for minor pain if used for a short time. Cronic pain suffers need to avoid at all costs.

It got rid of my tooth pain after a root canal but it made me so nauseous it wasn't worth it. I had a severe headache and nausea every time I took it even when I took it with food.

useful in relieving pain, but extreme nausea and dizziness, in spite of suggested measures, made med undesirable.

As everyone is different, it caused me to have nausea and dizziness. However, it definitely helps to control my pain.

A life saver, works good for a quick fix of pain relief and gives me a great burst of energy to get up and out, if it wasn't for this drug i'd still be on disability and in bed. Also works great for depression, and I've also noticed I never get sick when I'm on the medicine, not even a cold. And if I did get a cold I wouldn't even care because the medicine makes me very happy and a way more productive member or society
