Lortab information

Drug: hydrocodone

Lortab Street Name: Lortab

Lortab Effects: Lortab combines a narcotic analgesic (painkiller) and cough reliever with a non-narcotic analgesic for the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain. Dangerous sedation, dizziness, or drowsiness may occur.

Lortab Description: Lortab Hydrocodone (related to codeine) is in a class of drugs called narcotic analgesics. It relieves pain. Acetaminophen is a less potent pain reliever that increases the effects of lortab. Together, acetaminophen and lortab are used to relieve moderate-to-severe pain.

Lortab Street Use: Oral

Lortab Dependency: Lortab is habit forming if used for long periods of time (several weeks). It causes both physical and mental dependence. Individuals develop an addiction to lortab because it produces feelings of well-being. Once an individual has developed an addiction to lortab they will often get multiple prescriptions from different doctors to support their addiction. Lortab activates the brain’s reward systems. The promise of reward is very intense with lortab, causing the individual to crave more lortab and to focus his or her activities around taking and getting the drug. The ability of lortab to strongly activate brain reward mechanisms and its ability to chemically alter the normal functions of these systems is what produces an addiction to lortab. Lortab also reduces a person’s level of consciousness, impairing the ability to think or be fully aware of present surroundings.
