I am looking to reduce the adictivness of pain meds I am taking currently Percoset (sp) to a lower on the addictive list. I took Tremadol in the 80 s after a femur operation and it tor up my stomach too bad. I cant find anything lower than the Percoset (sp) that does not have codeine in. Codeine in my system acts like speed as it increases my heart rate and will not let me sleep at all. Any suggestions I am enduring ongoing pain form a C5&C6 disc replacement operation 4 weeks ago and the nerve pain and muscle spasms are not going away. The percoset makes it go away but it also makes me a zombie. Help please
