now Percocet seems to being doing the trick for me. I know there
is quite a lot of controversy about narcotics and RSD and I'm not
sure I understand it all especially because it seem to be about
sleep and not being able to get your REM if you take narcotics.
Even when I wasn't taking narcotics, I wasn't getting any sleep
so that one has me stumped. Trish Pennsylvania, USA
I was prescribed Percocet after enough complaining to my doctor that Darvocet did not work. I am to take this every 4 hours. I have been in so much pain lately I feel nothing is helping. I have doubled up on the dose, which helps some. The pain is still noticeable but bearable if I avoid putting weight on my legs. Amanda - USA I am currently taking 6 Percocet a day with Ultram added recently
as an "in between doses" alternative. It is helping
me but I think that I am in need of a change due to tolerance
and immunity. My doctor and I are discussing it. Mick - South
