what is a stronger pain mad??? vicoden(not vicoden-es) or darvocet 100?? or tylenol 3...i have all 3 here and have severe mouth pain, it seems the vic works best, is it more potent?? problem is, none of them work for more then an hour...the doc told me i should take too many becuase of the acetmenophen* couldnt lorcet be a better choice, 10mg of hydrococdone a 500 MILL of acte...? because i need to take them more often?

Hi Bondo, Hydro products are generally considered stronger , some folks do get better relief from Davecet though. IT's really up to you as to what helps your problem. The least amount of Tylenol in a hydro tab in a normal pharmacy will be a brand named Norco it's 10/325. They do make a generic that seems just as effective. Anything with more than 500mgs of Tylenol really means you shouldn't take more than one at a time. 2 Darvecet gives you a healthy dose just like 2 Vic ES does. Good luck, David

Kadian is..it's a new morphine pill that's out and it has really helped me. When you've been on medication a while, you build your tolerence up.

Darvacet did nothing for me. But we are all different.
