User Reviews for Ultram oral

The bad thing about being on it is as of 36 hours ago I am not taking it anymore. I have been on it with reqular increses over the last 2 years for my back. I am going through cold tukey withdrawals and am not liking it. Whish someone could tell me what else to expcect and how long these symptoms last.

due to arthritis in knees and hands also feet needed something my stomach could handle plus be effective over a long period of time.Also to mention spurs in my lower back. Tramadol(Ultram) is the best!

i suffered a severe seizure that was a direct result of taking ultram. this seizure caused me to seize so strongly that i dislocated and severely fractured my left arm. beware of this med

Please use CAUTION when taking this madication. Since it is a synthetic opiate you can develop a severe psychological dependence! I've been taking this medication once daily, sometimes twice, and I can't think about going a day without. Its no longer helping as much with my back pain and I dare not up the dose for fear of greater dependence. Its almost as if I get a very subtle up high on it. Initially the medication was a godsend for the back pain I had when I was caught in a structure fire and had to make a ladder bail. I would be very interested in speaking with anyone who has had a similar experience. Read More Read Less

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!! I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I have pain in my jaw one day and the next, pain in my knee. Then, the next, pain in my arm and so on, an ongoing every-day struggle. I never know where the pain's going to be the next day. I'll take the Ultram and it works in 5 or 10 minutes. It's truely a blessing.

Took Ultram 50mg 2x per day for Pseudtotumor Cerebri / Intracranial Hypertension related headaches. Worked miracles for a few days, but then a side effect my docter did not read up on was additional increased intracranial pressure which made my headaches worse. After two weeks, I had to stop taking and was surprised to have withdrawal that included diarrhea, neaseau and insomnia.

FEMALE, 69YO USED FOR PAIN NOT ALLIEVIATED BY ACET, IBU. DOES NOT SEEM TO CAUSE ANY AFTER EFFECTS.

I began using Ultram for pain associated with fibromyalgia. I am a 40-year-old male who works out regularly, but still experiences achy and uncomforatble sensations. Ultram makes my mood better and increases my energy and motivation. Most importantly, it allows me to sit for hours and read or grade papers without feeling miserable. I switched from 200 mg a day to 100 because the higher dose gave me headaches and made me edgy; I am now detoxing and hope the 100 mg works more effectively. The detoxing is not pleasant: lethargy, headaches, chills/hot flashes, etc. are common. I also take Mobic, and the combination for my fibromyalgia has made life bearable. Read More Read Less

Low back pain due to arthritis and nerve pinch. Have been taking 50mg 3 to 6x/day of Ultram for 14 months as I've been going through treatments and physical therapy. I've been able to conduct my normal life due to this medication. I do hope to be painfree without medication someday but until then I am happy there is pain relief with only a small chance of addiction. The effect on mental state is similar but not as strong as vicodin but is almost as strong when it comes to controlling pain. Previous Dr. was concerned about drug control but now with a Managed Pain care Dr. and she has no problems helping me control my pain with this medication.Read More Read Less

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but now that the migraines have gotten worse it doesn't help at all, and my doctors aren't increasing it or giving me a new pain pill.

I have shoulder pain and had been using a different pain reliever that caused me constipation and then the Dr switched me to tramadol. worked great.

DR. perscribed it for my endomertiosis pain. I took it like the bottlt said , It didn't even get rid of my pain.I tryed a double dose to see if that would help and still had the same paine. The ins. co. would not even help pay for the script, I can see why now. I wasted $40.00 on a script that don't work.I know other people who took Ultram , they said the same thing it was a waste of money.

Our Drs are so hassled by the thought of every person taking narcotics for long periods must be a druggie and just seeking a "high." Ultram is being prescribed for severe pain and the patients suffer because the doctor doesn't want to answer any questions. Even when they have operated on you for the 5th time.

better then nothing
