Before I ask my Rheumy Doc for some
thing else to take for PAIN...

I was just wondering what every one thought was the best Rx DRUG to take for PAIN?
- (1) without sleepiness & (2) with sleep induced as a side effect.


Thanks....

I'm kinda confused - you want a pain med that doesn't cause sleepiness but does induce sleep as as side effect?

A reltively safe pain med that you could try is called ULTRAM. It works by acting on specific opiate receptors ( although it is not an opioid) and by blocking reuptake of SE & NE. It has relatively low side effects.
