Come to think of it I do think my doctor has some experience treating chronic pain. At one point he prescribed Ultram, saying his patients with chronic pain switch back and forth between Vicodin and Ultram so they don't develop a tolerance to either. Unfortunately the Ultram made me feel really uncomfortable. Maybe I should also mention that I have a tenacious, treatment resistant uni-polar depression that we've been trying to treat for years. For some reason he's ok with a certain amount of Vicodin as part of the treatment (the only thing that helped for awhile), but has fear of doing anything else as a "mainstay". Thanks for listening.
