I just started cesamet.. so far so good

I'm taking tramadol right now. The only other scrip I take right now is 5mg of zolpidum to sleep. The tramadol isn't cutting it so I'm going back to the doc tomorrow to try to work out something new. I quit all meds in February because I was so brain dead from them. Then the doc put me on tramadol and zolpidum. It just isn't enough and I'm taking the max dose.
my doc tried tramadol for me once. he said i could take up to four. I am thinking I am so bad with pills so the first night i took 1. night terrors . horrible. i thought maybe it was just a fluke so a few nights later tried it again. same thing. few nights later took a half. bad bad dreams, few nights later 1/4 pill, Ok no more for me. NOPE. he was surprised what it did to me. doesn't take much for me. I would be a bad druggie lol
