There are no 15mg Vicodin tablets, so what are you taking with the MS Contin?

The dosage may not be equivalent, so that could explain why it isn't handling your pain.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.
