Hey Phoenix...

Pain management really is a problem for some addicts, like myself. Ultracet is milder than Ultram, but please read the part about it matabolizing like an opiate in the bloodstream and that doctors ought to prescribe it very cautiously with those who have had past addiction to narcotics.

I know the dilemma about this. I have been undergoing dental work which is painful and the dentist handed me a prescription of Tylenol #3s after a root canal about three weeks back. I gave it back to him, saying that I really didn't need it. A few years back, I would have taken the script and taken 30 of them in two days.

Ultracet is not a controlled substance. If taken as prescribed, it should help you. Just be aware of it, though.
