traamazet and tramadol

but that was before i had heart problems
check with dr. first for interaction!!!

Talk to your doc about changing your meds.do it asap.and be firm a bout it.let him know exactly how u feel!

i have chronic back pain have had 4 back surgeries 3 of which were fusions. i have been in pain for 11 yrs and have been to multiple pain mgmt dr's. i have been on every opiate and narcotic from A-Z. i strongly disagree with morphine, it highly addictive and it turned me into a crazy person. i would leave the house in the middle of the night return and not no where i went, my husband said it was like living with an evil twin. i am currently very happy with my pain mgmt dr now. i am on methadone, valium, Dalmane, xanax, norco and a beta blocker for my s. tachycardia. hope this was helpful, any questions please emaill. amber

Best bet is probably Morphine, only side effect to trouble you is constipation, senacot tabs every other dose (or more) and time usually amiliearate stuffed-up-itus, Morphene can be used in whatever dose necessary to do the trick, some care to observe overdose, stops breathing like all opoids, watchout for timed release formulations, easy to use but easy to overuse if you don't pay attention, fairly wide margin for error, whole system benefits from M, sorry about the social stigma from the unknowing.

At this point, you definitely need to switch meds, because it sounds as though your body has become tolerant of the Lortab. My recommendation is that you ask to move on to a morphine pill. There are many to choose from - my first choice is MS Contin, Dilaudid, or just plain Morphine Sulfate. Stay away from mentioning Demerol, because it's a great painkiller in a shot, but is a worthless pain reliever in a pill. Percocet isn't much better than Lortab, and builds a tolerance quickly. The only other thing I can think of is methadone, but I'd try MS Contin first. It's a great painkiller. Good luck to you.

Lortab, hydrocodone, vicodin, percocet, norco, percodan are all exactly the same ingredients just made by a different company. Trying methadone for pain relief is stupid as it is a derivative made to get you off of pain medications as is suboxone. (though you can get a prescription for suboxone and you cant for methatdone you have to go to a clinic daily). My suggestion is to ask for fentanyl patches. They start at 25 mg and go up as high as 150 mg but these patches last 72 hours. For my chronic bach pain, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis this is finally what helped me. And I make the patches last 5 days instead of 3 as they are still giving out relief. Good luck to you as I truly understand pain.

ask for oxycodone or oxymorphone its a combination of oxycodone a.k.a percoet and mphine

first of all as with all people on here I want you to be safe with whatever you do, I am on Dilaudid ( they have drugs such as Norco) like Lortab, MS Contin, Duragesic the one answer that seems to ring true is what works for one person will not for another, tell your doctor the meds don't work and be as open as possible (I do with my doctor) I am trying to give you general ideas but perhaps if you tell him that what you task does not work then he will help you find a medicine that will work and that will also be safe

i myself suffer from 2 herniated discs and my doctor gives me oxycodone 15 mg @ 2 pills every 6 hours and it worked great for the first week now i have built up an immunity to them just as you have to what you take unfortunatly that happens with all pain meds i myself started out on vicodin 7.5/750 apap and went up through the ranks past lortab to percocet and now the oxy's ask for the oxycodone it comes in several different strenghts and should provide you with some relief.

I would ask about Opana ER.

pecocets are stronger then lortabs thats what works best for me is pecocets

Fetynal (or how ever you spell it)

I have tryed alot of meds,for the price and the side affects i am now on M S cotin and the only side affect so far is a little sleepy ,i also have high blood pressure and know ms is safe.I got a tolerance to oxycodone very fast and dont want to go up in dose,Isay ms contin is worth a try!

I think you should try asking your dr for either morphine , percocet, or dilauded. If you have chronic back pain and need to be on a pain reliever for a long time then anything with the least amount of tylenol would be the best thing to be on.
