What medication is a step lower than Vicodin?!
Question: I am taking Vicodin for pain and it is upsetting my stomach. However, I cannot take NSAIDS or over the counter meds because they are MUCH harder on my stomach.
I looked into Tylenol with Coedine, but I am supposed to stay away from that stuff due to high liver enzymes. Another reason I am trying to find an alternative to Vicodin.
Please help! Thanks!!!

Take the Darvocets. Ultram is a narcotic/opiate and this should be common knowledge by now! The withdrawal from Ultram is pure hell and it also works on brain registries as serotonin too making the withdrawal even worse than real opiates. One of my answers give the complete low down on the crappy drug, stay away from it! A past answer;
What is TRAMADOL HYDROCHLORIDE-(TRAM uh dol) ?

One of the crappiest Opiate based narcotics ever made in my opinion. And I will say this so someone else on here can interject. It has a 9 hour half life and is a 50 to 100 mg pill. On this half life, if you take four a day your gonna have up to 400mg's in you. If half gets depleted in 9 hours that's 200 left. Than 9 after that 100 than 9 after that which would be 27 hours 50 and into the next day. So if the drug holds a 100mg to 50 mg foundation every 24 hours you can see how it can build up in you. WITHDRAW is not 21 days but it can take up to 21 days to get out of you and I have the most credible sources in the world!
This is a very weak opiate which randomly hits receptors and it gets it's extra punchy feeling of euphoria from it's anti-depressant serotonin channeling properties. Which incidentally can trigger terrible manic thoughts, depression, not sleeping, suicidal tendencies if the blood level is not maintained at a functioning level. Take it with Prozac and your done. Withdrawal can include brain Zaps. Does that sound good? Extreme blood shot ,baggy eyes.
If you are not a person physically dependant on opiates this can be a good drug. I have heard actual pharmacologists refer to it as a joke. To A person physically dependant on opiates this drug in my opinion is a death sentence. One; there are still people that believe the lie it is a non-narcotic, non-opiate. OKAYYYYYYYY! And pigs fly, right?
It is totally synthetic and on a physically dependant person and a person that was a user of this drug for a long time, the withdrawal is hell and in my opinion worse than anything I ever felt. And minded there was nothing else in me! I personally think a person is better off taking hydrocodone. I would not recommend this drug to my worse enemy. I heard a pain managment person say on here withdraw is only two days. Nonesense! The drug will not even be out of your system in two days. And half life has nothing to do with when a drug gets out of your system. Example marijuana has a half life of a few hours but it stays in you a month. Alcohols half life is a half hour per ounce but it stays in you 24 hours.
You need methadone or another opiate to get off this stuff. It is next to impossible to wean off this in the doses it is calibrated in and half life. I have wrote many things on this drug in my previous questions. Look by all means. Type in Ultram sucks on Google. This drug SUCKS! Can it help you if you never took a pain pill, yea. Do I think a person should be on it for years? HELL NO. Should I put the fear of God in people instead of tell them its just wonderful, absolutely! I am not going to lie to you like pharmaceutical giants that claim Ambien is non habit forming .

You could maybe try Ultram. I would say Darvocet, but it has a lot if Tylenol in it.
My sister took Ultram and swore by it, it is not an NSAID and is actually non narcotic.
