Be careful taking the Ultracet with an antidepressant if you do. Don't quote

me , but the reason that they switched me from this is they found out after

it came on the market that the Ultracet/Ultram will decrease the

antidepressants effectiveness. Check with your pharmacist/doctor.

Don't post much but have personal experience with this one.

,

I am SO sorry for what you are going through. I have ultracet only for pain

too, and I can take only up to 8 per day because they are tylenol based and

can hurt your liver. Sometimes I do go over if I have a bad day and I figure

I'll worry about my liver later (and probably be sorry!)

Where are you writing from? If you're in Virginia, I can try to help you

find a doctor. Have you called your insurance company (or medicare?) and

asked for a referral? It sounds like you definitely need a new doctor. That

psychiatrist sounds like a quack. How on earth could you not be in pain with

all of that you've gone through? How would the psych know what your primary

doctor was prescribing anyway? I wouldn't think the PCP would have to report

back to the shrink. I've found that most of them don't communicate back and

forth. I just spent 13 months with a gastroenterologist, and the last time I

was at my PCP, they didn't even realize I'd been under treatment by the

gastro, even though I had him send copies of all the test results and the

surgery stuff to them! I know how you feel wanting to die because you hurt

so bad. You've found a great support group here though and no one minds if

you vent.
