First , welcome to the forum..i just read your post, and my heart just broke when i read your story...mostly about your husband and how you feel stuck..
i have only taken ultram once and i never felt anything, and sometimes i wonder how can someone get addicted to them?? but i guess if i would have started on that instead of lortabs it would be different..i do read where withdrawals are bad..
i guess you have to make your own decision on that one, but we are always here to listen no matter what...
There was something you wrote about if an earthquake came and pharmacies would be closed...i really took that to heart and i will tell you why, where i live we were hit by all hurricanes..Thanks god at that time i was not addicted YET!! but i can tell you all pharmacies were closed and the ones that weren't were all broken into..Doctors could not be found..hospitals were so damaged it was not an option for anyone..i swear you good spot the addicts walking the streets everywhere..They were all in w/d's..now i know wht they must of been going through..i have horrible migranes , and i take imitrex, not a narcotic, and thank god i had a good bit because with everything going on i had them everyday...But if i would of been out , tough luck, i would have had to deal with them..i also read that you get them so you know where i am coming from of how bad it is...There were cops everywhere, even the national guards walking the streets..Stores were getting broken into and houses..i was always so scared..
Now that i am a addict i think back of those days..And what would i have done if i had no pills...W/d's would have been the only answer..Are what about the people that had real pain and i mean real, what they had to go through breaks my heart..But like i said i never thought much about it until i was addicted..At that time i was just worried about "when will my kids ever go back to school"? When will we ever get electricity?? ice?? water?? so thinking of all that i can't imagine going through w/d's with that...
Anyway i know i got off topic but wanted to tell you that when you wrote that it made me think alot..
i wish you only the best, and only you can decide if you want to quit..But even if you don't, we are all here for you...
God bless you

wow i thought people would just think what a crazy woman! thanks so much for your kindness and compassion, you just don't know being a nubie an all how much i appreciate everyones resonse in such a caring way. Ultram first of all gives me energy i used to snort coke about 9 yrs ago i'm soooo tired all the time. it also but not till the end of the day numbs all my pain and i do hurt all the time, had a microdiskectomy about11 yrs..ago also was in a snow skiing accident. i ran 26 mile marothons in highschool rode horses everyday ( went to boarding school and had my horse their) and played lots of sports so now i guess I'm really paying for it now I'm 45 yrs old. my lower back and both knees. I'm so scared in 10 yrs i'll be in a wheelchair, i feel old and i have 2 kids 8 and 12. well anyway thanks again. in regards to that earthquake i'm gonna have to get me and extra stash and have someone hide it for me!! thanks!!!
i have tried that med and it did nothing for me...now everyone is different..i cna tell you imitrex has worked the best for me..I have tried everything..Now i have insurance thank god..Becaue without it is 28 dollars a pill here..That is crazy..But when i get htem so bad i would pay anthing...i know you knwo what i mean..if i don't take it at the right time i will throw it up..so what i do, is when i know it is coming on and not a regular headache i take a half, then if that is not enough it take the other half,,,and go from there..
hope this helps

WOW, no doubt would not be a good thing. It is something I never thought of, but when it was mentioned had me thinking for sure. Amazing what our minds do.
Does the imitrex work well for your migraines? My dr prescribed me midrin? I have tried it twice with my migraines but really did not do much good. It seems nothing I take works for them and I just end up in bed all day sick, even throwing up the pain bangs so hard.
