Pam, Ultram works well for me. I take it rarely but when my neuropathy in my feet is so bad that I can't sleep, I take one and the pain is buffered in less than 20 minutes. My onc recommened it to me and said it had very few side effects. How are you doing? I think of you often. Hope you are healing well and will be out and about by Spring. Best Wishes, Mary L
