Pain Meds?????

My doctor prescribed me vicodin/hydrocodone 1 every 6 hours 5mg/500 mg and ibuprofen 600mg. Anyway, these prescriptions aren't even touching the extent of my pain. I've taken midol and excedrin also. I'm going to ask my doctor for a different prescription for pain tomorrow, but I'm not sure what I should try next. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks

I have to take 10/500 to feel anything. The 5mg do not touch mine either. I am NOT your doctor, but if I were you (this is what my doctor told me to do) I would try to take take 2 of the 5mg vicodins, but if you do be sure NOT to take the ibuprogen with it because that is too much (1600mg). Also, if you want to stick to pain medication you can try oxycodone products instead, like percocet. I don't like them however because they give me insomnia and headaches when they wear off.

Good luck!

I take 7.5mg percocets and it dulls the pain but doesn't really take away the pain much. I know what your going through!
