Just wondering what the non-narcotic med. you are taking is called. If
it is Ultram I just wanted to tell you to be alert as it is not a controlled
substance but my Dr. told me that she has had several patients get in
over their head with it and that it may soon be reclassified.

Not Ultam- it's "Esgic," but I only recommended that she give me a few being that I generally just take Advil. She is probably wondering, "What's up with you?" since she has prescribed Darvocet and stuff before- LOL! Have only taken 4 though (two yesterday and two today- hurting pretty bad!)!

Finally, the appointment is almost here though!

Esgic is addictive too. It is a barbituate and aceteminophen. I used to take esgic plus which is the same thing but with caffeine added. Just be careful whith that stuff.

I have heard from my Dr. that Ultram is not narcotic, but still addictive. That is good to hear they may soon reclassify it.
