ADDICTIVE!!! BEWARE OF ULTRACET!!!! I was prescribed Ultracet after a car accident. I had torn fascia in my back, and a leaking disk in my neck. The disk began to pinch a nerve, sending shooting pain into the entire left side of my body, to the tips of my toes and fingers. I wanted to throw myself against the wall to numb my body. The pain was unreal, and did not cease with Massage, Accupuncture, Chiropractor visits, or Physical Therapy. My last resort was to get on Medication, so the doctor told me about Ultracet. He said it was NOT ADDICTIVE, and so I trusted him. I did my own reasearch on it, discovering that it is an artificial "opiod derivative".....well he wrote a scrip for 200 of them, and I took them all. Then he wrote another and another. When I finally realized that I was not myself, which took a few months...I tried to stop taking them. The withdrawals I went through included three days of lying in bed, with cold sweats, hallucinations, vomiting, shaking, and emotional upheaval. While I was on the medication I had horrible nightmares, slept constantly, and had harsh emotional backlash when the medicine began to wear off. I lost my motivation for sex, socializing, and school. The pain was gone, but it reaked havoc on my emotion. I think that part was worse than physical pain could've been...I don't know. I was at the point of wishing I was dead due to the physical pain I was in. I began to workout, and take MSM. This seems to have helped eliminate some of the pain. I also got a really good matress. Don't believe that this is not addictive. IT IS ADDICTIVE if you stay on it for more than a week or two. BEWARE!!! I've never been addicted to anything in my life, not even cigarettes, and this took me months to recover from. I actually thought about checking into a drug rehab hospital, it was sooooo scary.
