Lortab 5


My dentist gave me Lortab 5 to take for pain after pulling teeth and putting in new dentures. I want to know if it is the same as vicadin. I have not taken any.

I use it for extreme back pain. It works very well, but you can build up a tolerance to it. That is my only complaint.

Most of the time it relieves my pain, but sometimes it doesn't even touch it. I can't find the reason. I have Lyme disease, and it is terribly painful. I guess Lortab has its limits to stopping the pain.
