Sage counsel.

Problem is I DO need to take them for my knee pain. I cannot take NSAID's like motrin, naproxen, arthrotec, etc because they make me really sick. I tried tramadol but that made me hypomanic and I'm bipolar so my Pdoc said don't take them. Regular tylenol doesn't do crap and cannot take aspirin because I've had stomach ulcers.

Thing is, I don't drink because me on alcohol is not a pretty sight and I won't drink while I'm on psyche meds. The hydros give me just a little glow for a few hours and I really don't want to give them up -just keep it under control.
