    Not at all hard to take
Dosage: 400 mg Daily
Advice & Tips: Easy to take if you're already taking meds regularly. Elevates mood AND relieves pain. Tolerance builds pretty quickly, I was a max 400mg/day for a couple of years and had to move to Roxicet, but still took Ultram. It is addictive. Withdrawal can be very hard. It can change personality.
