I have been on Loritab for a while due to a major knee problem and I feel as though I am starting to build a tolerance to it. Please help...

There are painkillers that are stronger than Lortab (I take it too), but your problem is the tolerance. You may need to talk to a pain management specialist about this.
If I don't get relief from 1 1/2 Lortabs, I start taking Naproxen. Don't take Tylenol or any other brand of acetaminophen with Lortabs, because you can damage your liver.
When I tried taking 2 Lortabs, I got anxious and upset, so I stick to 1 1/2.
I've read that long-acting opioids are sometimes better than pills such as Lortab, which last only about 4 hours.
If your problem is chronic, you should be talking to a pain management specialist.

Moprhine or percocet are stronger.

Morphine, Oxy-codone. Dangerous stuff though. Consult your physician before use.

HELLO,
WHAT YOU NEED IS DIFFERENT PAIN MANAGEMENT NOT JUST A STRONGER NARCOTIC.
WHY?
THE TOLERANCE TO THE NARCOTICS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD UP THE LONGER YOU TAKE THEM.
LORTAB WHICH IS HYDROCODONE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP YOU ADDICTED SO YOU NEED A DIFFERENT PLAN.
