I have been taking ultracet for a year now,( off and on) and it makes me feel alive, everything is clearer I'm more socialable, I have more energy. It was precribed to me for back pain but it helps with other pains I suffer from also.
I know that it's wrong to take it just to feel " normal " but to me it's better than any anti depression drug I've ever taken.
The side effects; when I'm " coming down "from them I get grouchy, and I start getting depressed because I like the way they make me feel and now that feeling is waring off. I could take another one but I limit myself to 2-3 a day max
Is it so wrong to want to feel like a " normal " person, to feel full of energy, to enjoy talking to people, to want to do things beside sitting on the couch all day watching mindless TV.
When I stop taking Ultracet I have a hard time sleeping, my body feels old, I feel exhausted, and I don't feel like doing anything.
