I have been on hydrocodone for several months for chronic pancreatitis.It works ok along with a fentanyl patch.Am I addicted?Probably.However,I am 5 months pregnant now and the drs all agree the baby will go thru some withdrawls after delivery.I am now trying Ultracet and my main complaint is the AWFUL nightmares.I have never heard of this side effect.You cant explain nightmares to a dr without sounding like an idiot,but my husband says I also twitch and scream during the night,when I finally do get to sleep.Slight itching,but lots of "creepie crawlies"when I try to relax.Ive decided to 86 the patch and deal with the ultracet,using my hydro for the more severe bouts of pain.

I am the Spouse of someone who is addicted to Ultracet. As I found another 50 pills hidden this morning I try to figure out what to do next. My spouse experiences nightmares often and I think her irritability is often due to her intoxification. I too have heard that this is supposed to be NON addicting, very false! I can only hope and pray that my spouse gets a clue and rids herself of this evil before it kills her.

have taken Bextra and when that did not help me the doctor gave me Ultracet but that made me very sleepy in the afternoon and I would sleep for two hours and have been having nightmares.
When I was taking Bextra I had this intense itching in the armpits,the groin and other parts of my body if I touched it and I noticed it also was the same with Ultracet....and so I threw the pills which the doctor has given down the toilet.....I looked it up on the Internet and found it is narcotic....Doctors dispense pills without looking at the side effects...

I am so glad to know that people are sharing their side effects for ultracet. I have been on ultracet for about 5 weeks and it has been very helpful to help me move around especially in the morning. I have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitus in my left foot and degenerative osteoarthritis which makes me feel like I have been ran over every morning by a MAC truck, but after taking ultracet I am able to function decently-- it doesn't get rid of all the pain, agony, aches or burning in my foot but it does take the edge off and the tension in my face has decreased noticeably and I am able to smile again without being so grumpy and negative about life. Although, I have the itching, anxiety, hallucinations and nightmares of family deaths and massive people dying, I too am afraid of being addicted to this med and believe that I am because--- if I don't take 1-2 pills a day that's when I experience the racing thoughts, fear, eyes feel crossed and my mind definitely feels as if I were on a high of some sort and withdrawals seem to send me spiraling downward. I also take desiryl at bedtime to help me sleep which has been helpful also. I will be speaking to my doctor about something with less side effects, if its possible.
