Lortab 10 is the strongest form of Lortab made. According to RxList the usual dosage for Lortab 10 is a tablet every 4-6 hours with no more than 6 tablets a day. Do not increase your dosage without your doctor's permission. Lortab can cause numerous side effects. Lortab 10 is a 'schedule three' drug which means it can cause physical dependence or addiction. Patients can also become tolerant to the drug; i.e. - recieve less benefits from it over time.
There are many different types of pain medications and different options you can pursue to get pain relief. You might consider getting a second opinion if you feel your doctor is not pursuing all the options possible. Good luck!

First of all your doctor is Lying to you! I get 6 percocet 10mg a day!!!!!! Sounds like your doctor is afraid to prescribe to you what you need. You might want to tell him that the lorcet does not help, and that you would like to switch to percocet. Percocet is almost 3 times stronger for pain relief and you can take less of it for the same effect on pain. And its spelt LORTAB!
