Yep Yep! Torodal or Ketorolac is very potent for a non-narcotic (it's an NSAID - the most potent IMO - even stronger than steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs IMO).
I took it for 2 weeks years back when I had to stop taking ultram , and, hydro! It was terrible not having my regular meds but wow Toradol is very very strong - like super
Motrin - like equal to about 2,000mg of Motrin LOL (not that I would know what that much Motrin would be like). If you have musclu-skeletal pain Toradol will stop it all dead in it's tracks. Very blurry vision for me though - worse than Ibuprofen. Thanks for the suggestion .

I've never tried it (Toradol) with Ultram but I think I might if need be in the future. And darn I just got an order from Imported and had meant to get some Toradol but didn't get it. Might have to place it in next order. BTW my doc says Toradol should only be taken for about 2 weeks then stop.

My doc said Toradol isn't safe to take for very long; but it is used a lot for
post-surgical pain where narcotics aren't indicated, needed, wanted or whatever. I'm surprised more people don't talk about Toradol, what with it being as effective as it is.
Oh yeah and I keep a good supply of DarvocetN-100 around in case I run out of Hydro or feel that I need to cut down on Hydro, and cuz sooner or later circumstances will be such that I simply don't have any hydro at all.

Any body ever tried Ultram along with Darvocet in lieu of Hydro??? PM or post if you can provide any knowledge on this one. I'm thinking that Ultram should potentiate if not just activate the Darvocet. For me I can't get by on just Darvocet cuz it makes me a little too lethargic, drowsy or too unmotivated during work or other daytime activity, but Ultram, when I used to take only Ultram really has one of the best "activating" properties (increased alertness)of anything with the exception of Hydro or drugs in the Stimulant class of drugs. Too bad ultram only works on the mu receptor; or then again maybe that is what makes it so good? Thanks!

ps I will offer one prize bit of info for those who suffer and struggle with depression and how depression , somewhat like ADD zaps all your strength, energy, concentration and the like. I cannot afford Provigil (U.S. name) or Modafinil as it is known elsewhere, but it is GOOD, just way too expensive, twice as expensive as Ritilin as a rule. However an analoque of Provigil (andrafinil) which is about half the price does provide moderate stimulation. I used it quite a while and figured it really wasnt working but I kept on and found a way to make it work by taking 200mg before bed, and, it forces my out of bed after roughly 7 hours of good sleep (after about 5 hours of sleep I start waking up a little). It's sorta like taking one of the more
stimulating SSRI's like Prozac at bedtime which will take effect (in me and many others I've related this to) after about 6-8 hours, hence waking up is much easier and the mornings are much easier to deal with (mind you I suffer
from refractory depression in addition to chronic physical pain from a car wreck). Thanks Guys!
