For my pain, drugs like percocet did nothing to ease the pain at all. The only thing I've found that works for *me* is Tramadol (Ultram). Taking Tramadol was a life-saver for me. It completely mutes my PN symptoms. One thing I've found though is while taking Tramdol along with other pain killers such as Lortab and Vicodin completely cancels out the Lortab type drugs. I have no effect whatsoever from those types of drugs while taking Tamadol. Usually they put me out like a light. Not with the Tramadol.
I started Tramadol about a year ago, I think and started at 37.5 mg. I just went up to 50mg yesterday. My doctor started me on Mirapex yesterday too for some RLS type symptoms and if my first night with the Mirapex is anything to go buy this might be a big help to my symptoms. I have idiopathic PN, that is, PN without knowing the cause.
