Loratab vs Methadone?
Question by : Loratab vs Methadone?
I am use to taking Loratab 10mg hydrocodone/500mg apap 5 per day….or 1 tablet every 5 hours. My new doctor prescribed me Methadone HCL 10mg dosage 2 per day…or 1 tablet every 12 hours. Since I have never taken this medicine, what should I expect? Does anybody know the real difference between Loratab or Vicodin in general vs Methadone? What should I expect and is Methadone any good at relieving severe pain. Thank you

Methadone is actually better. Plus they can up the dose in 5mg increments if needed.

Methadone is stronger, longer lasting, and more sedative. It’s better then Lortab at severe pain. The difference is two different substances.
