They are much better if you take them while not in pain.

Just woke up, but the night was rough. Got my foot tangled up in the sheets, and yanked it good. Talk about painful. So I popped a couple of pills at 4 am, and turned up the voltage on the tens unit. at about 5 am I finally went back to sleep, and now the foot is swelling. Time to ice it down and take the other meds.

I have to keep the foot elevated, and I must also use a tens unit to help stimulate healing and blood flow, as well as keep the swelling down.

The unit goes up to 50 mA, and I have had it up to 47 mA, but for the most part 37mA seems to be the best setting.

I am using mostly ultracet, a non-narcotic in conjunction with the tens unit. Last time I used hydracodone, I had a very interesting conversation with my dog, and then called my girlfriend to tell her about it.
I was on Ultracet for years. i was deperssed when it stoped doing any good.
Whben i first started takeing Hydrocodone it did effect me. though not as bad as you had it. though if i take 2 at once it really makes me feel good.
oh one time i got a shot of diludide (sp?) and man i felt great. besides the no pain at all i started playing SM3 and laughing my ass off. my wife was a little worried on that heh
