I have tried Bextra, Ultram, Motrin 800 mg, Napersyn, Darvocete and
Percocete
(?sp. on all of these) My stomach is a mess and taking them with food
has not helped. I took a Darvocete yesterday and threw up blood. How
is anyone supposed to live like this? These drugs are not for long term
but if you call the doctor and complain about the pain they just seem to
give you more of them. Sorry I don't mean to sound negitive but I am at
my end with all of these drugs and I still don't have any relief.
