i got a prescription for loratab and i was wondering how long i would feel the effects of it if i only took half of one. i want to start out small so i don't over do it, you know? and what are some of the side effects? i hear that it can make you feel like puking and all that. thanks for the help

It shouldn't take too much longer than if you were to take a whole one, but the effects won't be as strong, nor will they last as long. Also, it depends on the person, as with all medications. Sometimes it helps to take it with food so it won't make you sick to your stomach, as it can be too strong for some people, depending on your tolerance and whatnot.

Do you mean"Lortab"(hydrocodone/ acetaminophen)?It is a narcotic used for pain. It should kick in within 20 minutes after you took it. The most common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, lightheadedness, nausea or vomitting. If you continue to take it, you might get constipation as well. Make sure you don't drink alcohol while on this medication, or drive/ operate heavy machinery until you are familiar with its effect!

call your doctor if you have any questions.

Eat something before it if you're worried about nausea. How many mg of hydrocodone is in it? (the first number, like it'll say 5/500 or something) Because taking half if it's already a small amount can minimize it's pain killing ability.
