Hi!
I really need some good information from someone who has had experience in taking 'Ultracet'. I have severe tension headaches that my doctor seems to think are associated with the fact that I have had Viral Menningitis about 7 times in the past 15 years. I have had 5 spinal taps to determine that I have indeed had menningitis. My problem is that my doctor in Michigan had me on fiorecet w/codiene for about five years and it's the only medication that worked. But, we did try everything else before we found this drug. Anyway, my doctor now in Colorado, has prescribed Indomethacin 50mgs 3x a day as needed? (I don't understand that). Neurontin 100mg capsules 3x's a day for one year, and Ultracet 1 tab 4x's a day for pain. Here is my problem, it's not working. I have had an terrible headache for the last three days and my doctor says that I have to give it time to work. Why do doctors think they are God's and that they know more then their patients when they are trying to figure out what is best for the patient. I have been on Ultercet before and I told him it didn't work for me. But he insist that with the Neurontin, it should work great and it is non habit forming. Could someone please help me. I don't know what to do. Can I change doctors without getting into trouble? If I do change doctors, how will I know that the new doctor won't do the same thing to me. I am pretty upset right now because I am the one who has to suffer with these headaches, while they sit back and say, hmmm...., ok, lets try this one then... etc....
Please help!
