Tramadol vs Ultracet

I had open heart surgery. At first I was on Oxycontin 10mg every 4-6hours. They agreed that Percocet would give me to much acetaminophen in a day. After the script ran out. I was still in pain for the chest re knitting. No one would refill the Oxycontin. This was suggested. What a relief. Not only have I dodged a dependence problem. This med works better that the other. No pain less tablets per day. I feel fine, not sleepy or weak. After 4 weeks I'm down to 1 every 6-8 hours, if needed, some times longer. I pleased with the results, and know that I can kick it when the time comes to stop using it. This is coming from a over 9 years recovering person.

I am taking Ultracet for Fibromylagia and Scleroderma pain. I was on Vicodin and hated how it made me feel plus it did not help that much with my pain. My Dr wanted me to try Ultracet and it has made my life so much easier, I take three a day and I dont feel weird or drowsy, it has kept most of the pain away and I am thankful for a drug that is not an opiate with all the side effects. I pray it keeps working and is not taken off the market like Darvocet was which helped the pain allot.I make sure I take the last dose by 7 pm or I dont sleep well as it tends to keep me awake. I guess you could say for now this med has changed my life for the better , I now get out more and do more with my family, before Ultracet I hardly ever left my home because of all the pain. It does not make me feel sleepy and I can function normally. It has also helped the depression which is a huge plus, not sure if it's because of allot less pain or it just has the ability to help depression. I make sure I eat fiber every day so I dont have any constipation issues. If I could only post a few words I would say Ultracet has made my life worth living again,pain is a horrible thing to have to live with 24/7.
