according to my doctor, at least.

Apparently Lortab is defined as " hydrocodone 7.5mg + acetaminophen 500mg " . I

still try to call it Vicodin, don't know the difference. Maybe it's just

a plot to confuse us more. I have found what seems to work for me. I take 1

1/2 pills at breakfast and again at about brunch time. That load helps me

for most of the rest of the day, then I need more near bedtime. It might be

nice to have a drip I can 'set and forget'.
