To all who posted

Thanks everyone for posting to me about this subject! Zach I was hoping that you would answer back because you are on Ultram as well. Yesterday I only took 200 mgs and slept fine. Depending on the day I hope to only take that much, thanks so much for the advice : )

So now I am taking Methadone 4 times a day at 5mgs each. Today was my first day on it, so I am waiting to see how it works for me. I am only g...

Wow, I wish I would have thought of that! It does make alot of sense. I got my new medicine today and it is way to strong for me, so I am cutting them in half, maybe I will go back to the vicodin?
