Lortab Side Effects

The list of possible Lortab side effects can include nausea, sedation and constipation and many others. Not everyone will experience the same side effects and some can set in after first use. Other patients may not feel the onset of side effects right away. It should also be said that the opiate-based painkiller can be taken without any side effects. Lortab is the combination of hydrocodone, a narcotic painkiller, and acetaminophen, a non-narcotic agent used to treat pain. Lortab also has cough-suppression properties. The hydrocodone component can be habit-forming, leading to tolerance, addiction, even overdose. A hydrocodone addiction can necessitate a medically-assisted detoxification. The acetaminophen can be toxic at excessive levels so patients taking Lortab should do so carefully. Taking more than the recommended daily dose can lead to liver damage. This poses a problem because acetaminophen is in many over-the-counter products unbeknownst to many people.

Synthetic opioid drugs like Fentany, are to blame for more fatal overdoses in 2016 than prescription painkillers.

Common Lortab Side Effects and Serious Signs to Watch For

Some of the side effects widely reported among patients taking Lortab include nausea, vomiting, sedation, euphoria, lightheadedness, vision changes, mood changes, dizziness, fatigue, depression, tremors, sleeplessness, anxiousness, flu-like symptoms, upset stomach, dry mouth, pupil constriction, itching, hallucination, delirium, sweating, muscle and bone pain, confusion, extreme irritability and muscle spasms. Constipation is one of the most commonly-reported effects of narcotic medications including Lortab. Left untreated, severe constipation can lead to a blockage which can be serious, even fatal. Medical help should be sought immediately if patients experience any of these more serious side effects: severe respiratory depression, slow or irregular breathing, slowed heart rate, hearing loss, changes in the amount of urine, confusion or stupor, coma, clammy skin, circulatory collapse and cardiac arrest. The signs of liver damage due to excess acetaminophen can manifest as yellowing of the skin or eyes, severe nausea, dark urine, stomach pain or extreme drowsiness.

"A dear friend underwent rapid detox at the Waismann Method and all we can say is “THANK YOU”. My friend had (for years) been in a seemingly endless cycle of rehab and relapse. Even at some of the top rehabs, he still seemed to find his way back to opiates. I’m so grateful to say that it’s been almost a full year since his treatment at the Waismann Method and he is better than ever! He is finally himself again. Thank you to the caring, knowledgeable, warm and patient staff that supported and assisted my friend from start to finish! It was a blessing that we heard about the Waismann Method - our only wish is that we tried it sooner!"
