My wife just had all four of her wisdom teeth out and she was hurting, but she didn't get the Lortabs filled either, just the 800 mg. Ibuproefin. Fortunately I've never had to deal with much pain. I did get to where I was completely worn out and every few days I'd take one of my wife's Percosets to help me sleep, which I can definitely see getting addicted to. If she had more than a few back then I think I might have been in trouble, but she didn't. Good news for me.
