SPECIAL NOTE:
The effectiveness will vary with everyone, this is only a base line.
PAIN MEDICATION SCORES: Each medication receives a POWER SCORE ranging from 0-10. A score of zero indicates that the medicine listed is WEAK in comparison to others listed, where a ten [10] is a VERY POTENT pain medication. You will notice that on a PILL-FOR-PILL comparison, many medicines are almost the same. You may even be surprised to find that Percodan is not as good as it may sound, although is much harder to get from your physician. Each listed is rated at ONE TABLET OR CAPSULE unless noted in (parentheses):
SCHEDULE V NON-NARCOTIC ANALGESICS::OVER-THE-COUNTER/NON-PRESCRIPTION
(1000mg)Tylenol/ACETAMENOPHIN=[2] (400mg)Advil/IBUPROFEN=[2.5]
(650mg)Anacin/ASPIRIN=[1] (500mg) Aleve/NAPROXEN SODIUM=[3]
SCHEDULE III/IV NARCOTIC ANALGESICS::PHYSICIANS PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED
Tylenol w/Codeine #2=[3] Tylenol w/Codeine #3=[4] Tylenol w/Codeine #4=[6]
Vicodin=[5] VicodinES=[6] VicodinHP=[7] Vicoprofen=[5.5] Norco=[6] Lortab 2.5=[3] Lortab 5=[4.5] Lortab 7.5=[5] Lortab 10=[7] Lorcet=[7] Lorcet Plus*=[5.5] (Tylenol#4 is better than basic Vicodin)
*deceptive:"Lorcet Plus" contains LESS hydrocodone than basic "Lorcet"
SCHEDULE II NARCOTIC ANALGESICS::TRIPLICATE PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED
Percodan=[6] Percocet=[6] Percodan-Demi=[4] Tylox=[6] Demerol 50mg=[4] Dilaudid 2mg=[9] OxyContin 40*=[8.5] MS Contin 30*=[9] Morphine 20mg=[10]
*Sustained Release: these are slow-release capsules designed to last 12 hours. When chewed before swallowing, a large amount of pure narcotic medicine is released all at once and this may be dangerous.
DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS FOR PAIN::NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDs) and MUSCLE RELAXANTS
Lodine 400=[3] Motrin 800=[3.5] Toradol=[3] Darvocet-N 100=[3.5]

Benzos are sometimes prescribed for pain relief as well. I'm surprised they wouldn't be mentioned at all. They helped with my back pain and migraines, but they're probably comparable in that regard to ibuprofen.

LOL! hehe, what a surprise you rate tramadol a 10. Are you sure you're not a Tramadol representative or salesman?? Just kidding. When something works for you, you want to shout it to the world!!!
