Med question

My dr recently told me that they are changing one of my meds from lortab to norco, same dosage but less acetaminophen.  They also said they would be changing from 3x to 4x per day.  I had a migraine during visit and wasn't thinking very clearly, so I didn't think to ask why the increase.  I will ask this during my next visit, but in the meantime am wondering if anyone had had a similar situation or may offer any info.  Thank you and best wishes for a great day.

Thanks for replying, I have not had imitrex before but have had relpax and fioricet for migraine attacks in the past.  And yes, the pain med has nothing to do with the migraine, but for a plethora of other issue....I only mentioned it as that was why I did not think to ask about why they were increasing my dose on the new med.  I fully understand about the Tylenol concerns and trust their treatment plan for me.

Hi Beach , I think the Dr is right to be concerned about the level of tylonol .
Has the Dr ever prescribed imitrex? I suffer migraine headaches. As well. Just a question, your Dr has you on pain pills for another ailment, right?pamela
