My doctor gave me this medication for 2 reasons, 1.) my RA and 2.) the pain that I keep getting in my ear. Now yes it has made me feel kinda happy , but I do not take it unless the pain in my ear gets really bad, I really don't take it for the RA like I am supposed too. Last Oct. I fell in the bathroom and injured my ribs on the left side, I did use this medication , about 1 pill every 8 to 10 hrs. . I don't like to take precription drugs unless I have too! However I was glad I had it for that pain as we were traveling the next day for a week. I did in Oct. notice that it was hard even with the way I took it then to come off it. I gave it much thought and lowered the med. till I got to 1 ever other day and then I stopped it. This March I started with pain in my ear so bad that it kept me awake at night so I tried the ultracet for that , again being careful as to how much I would use. It has helped me with that. Please note I am a person who can't take much pain meds or antiinflamatory meds. I have many medical issuse. I will find herbal meds that work better. Like most of us you need to research anything you take and above all use common horse since!!! Some people have no tolorance to meds others can do better . You have to find what works best for you!! I will not take the ultracet on a regular bases. Take only if really needed and still be prudent with it. As for my ear I will be seeing an Ear, Nose & Throat Spec.. Again My side effectS as follows: Happy feeling Headache after it wore off If I took it more the 2 with in 24 hrs. I felt dizzy! therefore I know my do's and don't with this med. . To all of you out there always read what is in it , know your body and look for other things you can do .
