I take it for my fibromyalgia pain...and I like it. I take the tramadol...that has no tylenol in it if I am right...the ultracet does...I asked for the one with out tylenol, I can add it or advil as needed so I don't constantly have it in my liver...I only take 50 mgs at a time usually about 3 or 4 a day and it feels better than codeine or less sedatining than vicodin, it actually gives me a little boost of energy at times. I did notice at times I would feel nauseous a little at first when I took it. Can't even hardly tell I am on it now I can drive if I am careful, I also take xanax so I can't mess with the cell phone...keep my eyes peeled or I find myself drifting off the road! I don't like the codeine meds, and have never been on anything stronger than darvocet or vicodin. It doesn't make me go to sleep either....I have never tried 2 at a time though I am allowed 2 every 4to 6 hours. I'd give it a try when you don't have to do much else. Seemed like when I first took it I felt it more, also makes me a bit edgy when wearing off. boy do I talk enough? Oh it makes me talk alot when I first take it too!!!!! My doc said to stay ahead of the pain, if I take it when in alot of pain it takes a while to get going....ok i will stop already!

So glad you found a good neuro...My local one is a real icy one. Am thinking of changing but am in middle of SSDI case so I may wait. he is good on testing but doesn't talk much at...all, its just too weird....h'e the one who sent me to the even weirder one at Hopkins.....!!!! I am not making this up!

I do have some really good docs. Maybe the new cardio will help me..I have been reading up on sleep apnea, and such, and waking up to shortness of breath is one of my symptoms, with the heart pounding,,,,,which can be heart related, maybe not neuropathic but not pyschiatric !!! sounds like you got a good one.
