User Reviews for Ultram oral

Has worked very well for me, I can actually move with little or no pain.

this drug is B.S.!!!!!!! You may as well spend your money on tylenol!!!!

Had severe back pain for a little bit. It worked ok but it made me wake up and dream all night. I slept way too long on it. Made me groggy even after getting 12 hours of sleep.

After 10 years on hydrocodone, I needed something new. This works well but I can only take in the daytime. At night it gave me dreams and I kept waking up.

Might as well given me a sugar pill. A waste of my time and money.

Consistent dosage of 50 mg every six hours has made my fibromyalgia pain manageable. Sometimes need to increase dosage.

my pain has been so bad for so long in my legs each year it gets worse and the tramadol will not bbut barley take the edge off if i catch it .It interfears with my everyday life and the dr.s say they cant find anything they have hurt since i was 10 years old there is something wrong .i have been diagnoced with neuopothey in my legs which my papa had . It is very painful.

I have fibromyalgia. When I take Ultram, it effectively manages my pain. The pain management helps me to focus better at my job, I have more energy, I am able to move with less pain. I also have Degnerative Disc Disease and a torn disc. My back pain went from very disruptive to minimally disruptive of my life. This medication helps me continue to work 40 hours a week. I have less brain fog. I wish I knew how it worked to reduce muscle spasm -- without the medication, my muscles are so tight that I feel like I'm fighting to grip things, my wrist wants to spasm outward, and I have coordination issues. I have some neuropathic issues in my arms and I'm not sure what the cause is. I am also able to carry on conversations more easily while on this medication. In fact, it makes me more talkative. Without the medicine, I have a harder time putting thoughts into coherent sentences. (Due to the pain, lack of concentration? fatigue caused by pain? -- I don't know.) The quality of my life is greatly improved on this medication. When I first started it, I had some nausea, some euphoria (but I knew it was happening), and slight wooziness. Over time, these effects have greatly diminished and are entirely manageable. I take two 50mg pills a day, and have been on this treatment for about 5 months. I tried to only use the pill once per day but the benefits to my work life were tremendous and so I take two pills to allow me to function better during my work hours. I use Mobic in the evening if I need to. This medication may be what is keeping me functional enough to contribute at work. I have more confidence in my ability to be a good worker. Without it, I would be struggling and I would feel less secure about my employment. Read More Read Less

Used to treat pain due to Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. I have tried using Asprin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Voltaren and Prednisone with little to no relief. Tramadol has relieved my pain and I've noticed I feel happier in general since I've been on the medication. I have not experienced any negative side effects.

I was given Ultram for tension headaches....and it does work for my headaches, but I wake up w/ a way worse headache the next morning and I have naseau. I don't take this everyday...maybe once a week...so I should not have withdrawal symptoms like I do...I have taken actual narcotics and they have never given me these awlful symptoms like Ultram does. I would rather take OVC medicine and/or deal w/ my tension headache.

I had surgery on my neck due to a herniated disk in my neck cause an extreme amount of pain down my whole right arm and into my thumb and index finger and I was on Percocet directly after surgery, then went to vicoden, and then to Ultram. At first I felt that the ultram was not all that effective, but some of that could have been the fact that I had been on narcotics for quite sometime and could have been somewhat addicted to them. Since then I have injured myself somehow and the pain was back, but on the opposite side for some odd reason. I had an MRI, no herniated discs, maybe just overworked the left side while trying to baby the right side. Now, I just take the ultram during the day, and flexeril at night(only when needed). For me the ultram does seem to give me a slight burst in energy and mood, although I have noticed without it I don't function all too well at all, extreme fatigue and irritability.Read More Read Less

Given ultram for joint paint. Was very helpful with joint pain but, I apparently had a severe muscle spasm of the heart when taking this along with lexapro. Thought I was having a heart attack. Be cautios when using with other drugs such as lexapro.

This med has been very useful for my hip and back pain. After I took it for a long time though and stopped I developed withdrawl symptoms...which went away once I started taking it again. Pros and Cons.

im Happy with the tramdol HCl it has worked vary well.i like the fact that it is a non narcotic.and works better then som of the pain meds i been on in the past.

not enough pain relief

i am so sick of tramadol/ultram. i have had a right pyeloplasty done several years back and am having trouble with my urinary system again. the first thing a dr. says is here's some ultram. IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!! why cant they just take it off the market. i agree i get better results out of tylenol and ibuprofin.

Was given this medication for a possible kidney stone by a clinic in Bayou La Batre, Al. Worse experience of my life! The stuff works No better than aspirin. I realize clinics have alot of drug chasers, but to give this to anyone with kidney problems is useless and dangerous!
