I have just started taking ultracet today. I was prescribed 2 tabs 4x's a day. I have taken 4 tabs so far. The pain is better but the pharmicist told me and my partner to watch out for psychotic episodes since I am taking 20 mg of Paxil a day. SCARY!!! So far just stomach upset. But not intolerable. NO PAIN!! I have suffered from chronic pain for 3 years after I tore my scapula away from the muscle and ligaments. I do feel a little wired. I was also told it was non habit forming. I have taken morphine and loritab but cannot handle the withdrawl. I think 8 tabs a day is a lot. Let you know as the days progress. Especially about the psychosis. My Dr. was informed about the Paxil and said it should not become a problem. We will see.

Had prostrate infection. Urologist put me on Levaquin for 30 days. Told all my urinary problems would go away. I am 64 with some other non-related health problems and I take other RX's. By day 20 I was gretting pains in my lower right leg at night. Had difficulty in sleeping with that pain, it get severe by morning. Took sleeping pill (Ambien) and Loritab to sleep. Found I could decrease pain by putting two pillows under my legs at the kneee joint point. Was able to get sleep. When RX ran out I didn't refill right away. Even went to quick care and they gave me a muscle relaxer. That did nothing.Pain took 4-5 days to stop. Called Doc (ending up talking to office staff) and told them the results were not as advertised. They said to refill and take for another 10 days and they made me an appointment. Did not mention (my fault) my leg problems as I wasn't sure the RX was the problem. Started taking drug again three days ago. This muscle pain in leg started again. Previously I tried heating pad and a strong vibrator without success. This morning I decided to search WEB and found this great place. Will not take any more of the drug. Will ask Doc what else is avbailable. I hear taking Antibiotics for too long can make you immune to them. Of course I am forgetting the pain of getting another exam from the Doc...you guys know...it feels like his finger is a telephone pole.
