I've taking Lortab elixir /Hydrocododone liquid -- 10 ml every 4 to 6 hours -- to manage pain from four back surgeries over the past 5+ years. When I was told recently that the Tylenol on the Lortab was starting to affect my liver, I decided to stop taking all pain medications, a little over 10 days ago. The first 6 days, I replaced the liquid lortab with 2 Vicodin pills a day, the next two days with one pill a day, and then I stopped cold turkey two days ago.
