Understood, and my fear of possibly beginning to "like it too much" is why I took so few of the Endocet...but now that "fear" has shifted to possibly being without the seeming anti-depressant effect of the Tramadol if something such as liver damage might become an issue.

Psych meds have never really been helpful and I do not take any, so I do not think I have any issues there.

Do you have cravings to take it?

No, no obsession or craving beyond the logical things I have mentioned, and "as needed for pain" with a maximum of two per day is how my script is written. Maybe because of my age (66), this doc seems fine with my taking fewer than his maximum.
