I just spoke with the pm doc's nurse about my concerns of the prescription that hubby and I picked up last night. She explained that I am to take 2 Ultram 50 mg. every 6 hrs just as the bottle indicates. She apologized for telling me the wrong dose by phone before we collected the actual meds.

I told her that if I follow the script, 90 tablets will only last 11 days..and I see the doc in 30 days..there is definitely a math issue here..and I started to laugh. She laughed too, and told me to have pharmacist call doc's office to get a refill on or around the 10th day! They want to see if I will need an adjustment to this medication before they increase the script tablets.

I am to stop the Ultram 300 ER. This new script is a reg. daily dose as my others meds., but also the break thru med. My reg. pain med is the Opana ER,20 mg x2 daily.

I appreciate each of your support and input to my question. I do feel better.

Hope each of you feel better,too. Maybe it is the change of season that has sent us into a group flare;odd though, I do stay inside most of the time. Walls have no barriers when one's body is a barometer

love you
