"i had a wisdom tooth extracted last year and i was prescribed lortab 7.5 and i remember waking up in excruciating pain when it wore off and even when it didn&#039;t hurt, it would still throb. the only thing that helped the throbbing pain was ibuprofen. i had another wisdom tooth extracted yesterday and they asked me if lortab was ok so i shared my experience and asked her for vicoprofen. best decision i&#039;ve ever made. no pain or throbbing, even after the 4-6 hour dose wears off."
