Well, I have been taking ultracets for aprox. 3 to four years. I wasnt even perscribed them but I got them form my mother because I guess the doctors thought I was to young too have bad enough pain to be on meds. I was born with a club foot and my hips are an inch and a half off so my pain is severe . I am 24 and trying not to take them anymore but after two or three days of not taking any I have severe withdrawls. I get a burning sensation through my whole body then right after a chill up and down my bones, I cant sleep or even get out of bed half the time. So I continue to take them because the withdrawls are so severe. Unlike you I cant go to the doctor for help because they wernt perscribed for me and I'll be sent to rehab in which they make you stop cold turkey and no help for your wothdrawls you just deal with it. So if I were you I would talk to your doctor and tell him to keep setting you up with lower doses to wein you off ultracets because being on them for four years you will definetly be a canidate for severe withdrawls after all this medication is only suposed to be used short term anyway... Best of luck to you I hope I come up with something myself before this medication kills me.
