Thanks for all the thoughts on this, and yes I appreciate ALL of them. I am luckily in that I can sit all day at my job and with good insoles and my cane I can walk to and from my car without medication. So, I only take my Tramacet on weekends when I have to shop. Even though I wasn't taking it daily, I had cut back my alcohol intake and now I think I will cut it back even more. Not sure what I will do with all my nice bourbon and scotch.
