A member asked:

My doctor has had me on 800mg ibuprofen they recently switched me to meloxicam and told me to add tylenol (acetaminophen). it's not working. is there a stronger pain med that's non habit forming that may help me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Couple: Some people react better to one anti-inflammatory or another so there are other options such as naproxen, nabumetone, diclofenac, etc. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is an analgesic. Tramadol is stronger analgesic but does have a low addiction potential.
