Take Lortab For Severe Migraines. Changed To Vicodin, Not Much Helpful, Strength Same. Why?
I have taken Lortab for many years for severe migraines. After extensive texts there has not been any cause for them so the Lortab is the only med that relieves the pain. I have been put on much stronger meds yet the Lortab is the only one that truly helps. However, in January my pharmacy changed companies that supply their meds. The tablets that are given to me now resemble Vicodin both in their strength and apparence and not the Lortab by Watson. I have noticed that they do not help nearly as much even though the strengths are supposed to be the same. Can you please offer you input on why one would work well yet the other doesn't? Thanks for your help.

Hi, the drugs will have different compositions, if contain same composition also, they will work with the psychological effect that is the confidenc on that drug will work . So like wise there are so many factors which work with the drugs, like any other things. If you use the alternative for some time you may realise that the effect is the same. Thank you.
