Well, I think people may differ greatly in their own chemistries with drugs.
I've settled on 1/2 tablet at bedtime very infrequently. Seems my body is used to it now. No more "tripping".
I get pretty good pain relief from it... and this relief lasts into the next day. I bought some new Dr. Scholl's orthotic insoles from that store foot mapping experience--the new machine they have. I am trying to get used to them, wearing them an hour a day, and finally went to Meijer's walking the whole store in them (one end to the other and back).
I did need the Ultram that night!
I don't have terrible pain, but at night it is disturbing enough to need some help at times.
