Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I was curious how other people dealt with their pain meds. I take lortab and when my back pain started used to take may be one a day, am now up to 2 but I wait the 6 hours on the bottle and then take it again. It never gets rid of the pain completly but is it better to take it at the 4 to 5 hour mark when it starts to wear off ? I wait to long and then the pain gets really bad again so by the time I take it it takes a while to catch up with itself. I'm don't know if i'm stupid or a martyr and should just take it more often to stop it from getting bad as I only end up on the couch miserable. I suppose in some ways I think the pain wont come back as bad (it always does) and I really hate to take them. To make myself half way confortable would need 3 to 4 a day.
