most analgesics (pain killers) are narcotics while others are salicylate and synthetic drugs.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analgesic\nhttp://www.encyclopedia.com/html/a1/analgesi.asp\nhttp://arthritis.about.com/od/analgesic/g/analgesic.htm\n\n<Best Answer> cause very few other users even knew what 'analgesic' meant until they read my post.

Generic name: Hydrocodone. It is a synthetic codeine derivative and is taken for pain. It is classified as a narcotic and is addictive.

Narcotic pain meds are extremely addictive.  For those with chronic pain, it's better to explore other means of pain relief.. like TENS units, surgically implanted pain relief devices, or even visualization.  I work with too many people that became addicted to their pain meds. Anti-inflammatory meds like Aleve, Motrin, etc. may work better for you if you add Tylenol.  They work in different ways but work well together.

hydrocodone is one of them  *ryejoe22 is technically correct, Vicodin is simply a brand name that contains the pain-killer hydrocodone.

Tylenol #3 contains codeine.   \nLortab 7.5 contains hydrocodone.\n\nLortab is much stronger.

No, Vicodin (Acetaminophen and hydrocodone) is a Schedule 2 narcotic analgesic. \n\nTypically used for pain (lol, sorry - I'm a pharmacy tech)

Doctor here. First of all accept my sympathies for the pain you are going through because of your step mother's cancer. Actually breast cancer is considered to be very dangerous ( though all other types are also very dangerous) because of its future involvement with spine and consequently to brain. From your given detail depicts that patient is in in Stage IV and in this stage cancer spreads ( metasteases) to other parts/organs of the body. Your doctor must go for Morphain Sulfate rather than for Tramadol. This medicine contains the active ingredient morphine sulphate, which is a type of medicine called an opioid or narcotic analgesic (painkiller). Opioid painkillers work by mimicking the action of naturally occurring pain-reducing chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are found in the brain and spinal cord and reduce pain by combining with opioid receptors.  Morphain Sulfate is best known pain-killer for cancer patients and I have used this for few of my patients. Only treatment is to reduce sufferings and try to improve quality of life of your step mother. Disappointment is a curse so keep miles away.

schedule 1 drugs are pills like percocet and morphine, oxycontin etc.  These would definetly not be perscribed for any psychotherapy treatment. These pills are only for accute pain and mostly perscribed for cancer or terminal illness patients.

Call the doctor.  Doctors are much more aware these days of pain management.  Stronger pain relievers are often controlled (narcotics), and may be his second choice.  He might have also spotted something in your medical history that caused him not to prescribe something stronger.

Pain is my friend.  Ibuprofen for muscle pain, Vicoden for moderate acute pain, Percocet for severe acute pain, Oxycontin if you have to take so much that the APAP ( Tylenol ) in Vicoden or Percocet makes your ears ring.  Combinations of the above are also available.   You have to sign a contract to get Oxy.  Morphine works too but it plugs you up.
