I PREFER percocet.
But I'll settle for Jack Daniels.
I love duladid. The only shit i have had that took away all my pain.
I have so hydrocodone 5-325 and its good for low level pain. but does not work on everything.
Vicodin works best for me.
Unfortunately any pain-reliever I take seems to require a relatively high dose to have any effect.

You really should take 800 if you take it.
With some significant caveats which also carried weight in reducing the OTC dose.
Mom was an anesthesiologist. Weight matters big time.
She said OxyContin was the wonder drug for pain and it was terrible what happened to it. She compared it to aspirin in terms of breakthrough drug.
When my buddy was on hopeless life support and his wife had to make the call I looked at what they were dripping him. Fentanyl and anti anxiety. I assured her he was in no pain and high as a kite feeling great. That made her feel better and laugh. He gave me a thumbs up, barely but it was there.

when i had brain surgery, morphine and vicodin did absolutely nothing for pain, but percocet worked like a charm!
i still get terrible headaches once every few months and they won't let me have any more percocet, so i have to settle for the following:
4 ibuprofen + 2 tylenol + 1 mt dew every 6 hours until the headache is gone
sometimes that can take a day or two
I don't take anything. I deal with the pain until it's gone.
