Hi . I have taken tramadol, which is also known as ultram. It has helped me with the pain, but it made me quite "woozy." Then again, I am quite petite and perhaps more affected by these things than most.

Hi ,

I just picked up the Vicadon so I'll give it a shot but I am

writing down this other one. I am very sensitive to drugs so I

am not expecting a whole lot but I think I had Vicadon when my nose

was reconstructed.

Thanks,
