Personally, I think Ultram is for | M | 87 | 1 days | 1/29/2005 | 1 | Pelvic Myoneuropathy | ...forgot to include in my previous post: I had a | M | 87 | | 1/29/2005 | 4 | low back pain | Constpaton, occasional dizziness 7 nausea | switching back to tylenol & Codiene | F | 78 | 6 days | 8/14/2008 | 3 | F | 74 | | 10/31/2006 | 2 | pain from spinal stenosis | None | Just didn't stop the pain | M | 74 | 1 months | 1/29/2008 | 5 | Restless Leg Sysdrome, Osteoarthrit | Up to 150 mg per day no side effects | Seems to relieve pain with no gastric upset | M | 72 | 6 months | 12/27/2003 | 5 | chronic lumbar spine pain | I call this my happy med. It has worked very well for me. Recently, have noticed dry mouth but that is after taking this med for 5+ yrs. I must take it w/ibuprofen for full affect. Have needed to increase ibuprofen to 1,800 mg/da since condition has deteriorated. | I am very pleased with this med. My PCP requests blood work regularly. | F | 72 | 5 years 50 mg 4X day | 3/20/2010 | 1 | L4/L5 severe problems | Muscle spasms & tightness, watery eyes, insomnia, restlessness, headaches, frequent urination (every 2 hours 24/7/365), constipation, irritability/mood swings, loss of appetite... | Should be taken off the market! Too many side effects just to cure pain. Its just as addictive as natural opiates, so why was it invented? Will be getting switched to natural opiates, since I have to be addicted anyway. Will only suffer fuzziness and constipation, then. Will be going to pain specialist since my md its at a loss as to an alternative. How I don't know, but she is. | F | 70 | 2 years 100 3X day | 6/1/2011 | 5 | pain in butttocks left side | If taken after 5 pm it effects sleep at night If late for a dose I get a little jittery.Some times hot flashes and itchy feeling in my arms.Not anything I can't deal with. | I have tried many pain meds and ultram is the only one that addresses my pain.I take it first thing in the morning and then at 1pm.I would like to get off of ultram but on this board everyone says it's very hard. why? What happens to you? Can you cut the dose? I rely on two pills a day and use ice to help with pain if needed early evening.My pain is constant when not taking my meds. | F | 69 | 4 years 50mg 2X day | 10/4/2012 | 3 | Severe osteoarthritis (hip) | Constipation; mild euphoria; drowsiness. | Pain relief is noticeable, but somewhat disappointing. I take it to be able to play golf; usually end up taking a second dose in mid-round (about four hours after first). Second dose is fairly fast-acting (30 minutes). | M | 69 | 30 days 50 MG 1X day | 2/4/2010 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | No side effects | Only thing that relieves my fibro pain. Started taking one twice daily. After a few years went to two pills twice a day. | F | 68 | 8 years 50mg | 4/23/2015 | 3 | Pinch nerve and weight loss | When are within a few hours of taking the first pill I was itching like crazy for several hours. Wish I had had Benadryl nearby. I didn't. Now I do and will continue. I understand a huge side benefit is weight loss so I will take it for two weeks and see what happens | F | 68 | 1 days 50mg | 4/27/2020 | 5 | Variety of spine problems..a lot of | None...well, I do sweat a lot, but always assumed it was just from antidepressants. ( now, unsure) | Tramadol, with Skelaxin truly helps my pain. I can definitely tell when these have worn off. | F | 67 | 4 years 50 mg | 3/3/2017 | 3 | I can no longer take nsaids | Has any one had unexplained blisters pop out on their legs? | works sometimes, but the ibuprofen worked better. After chemo and radiation my body can't handle the nsaids. | F | 67 | 3 years 50mg 2X day | 6/4/2018 | 4 | Intense it hing | F | 66 | 1 days | 7/3/2015 | 3 | Arthritis | NOne | I have read about 20 different comments. One say's do not take this drug it is additive...and another will till you that it is great and help's with pain...so not all med's are good for everone...as for me...I don't find it to be very effective. Also some state that it interfers with their sex life..while someone else will tell you it make's them feel like 21 again...and takes them a long time to lose an erection and take's a long time to ejackulate. | M | 66 | 1 years 50mg 3X day | 8/14/2010 | 5 | back pain | How should I know? I have only taken it once. I am trying to get on this website to see other people's comments, which used to be easy. | I have filled out ratings in the past. I think this should be voluntary to get honest reports. | F | 65 | 1 days 50 mg 3X day | 3/4/2010 | 4 | chronic back pain, fibromyalga | When taken in doses exceeding recommended dose I experience some hesitancy in speech. | I have used this drug for over ten years. I took it to get off of taking daily narcotics. To that degree it worked OK. I experience no "high" from the drug and never did. It does cause some constipation. My problem is that it no longer keeps me mobile unless I take huge quantities (500 mg). If I take 10 pills before I leave my home I can sometimes keep up with my husband in the shopping mall or grocery store. Just spent two months in Europe doing all the tourist things, only about five times more slowly. On days when I do not expect to be physically active I do not take Ultram at all. I experience no withdrawal. I generally try to manage on 800 mg of Motrin and save Ultram for times I need to be active with my family. Have no idea what this abusive behavior of this drug may be doing to me, but it keeps my marriage and family working. | F | 65 | 12 years | 1/3/2010 | 1 | Postop TKR | Dizziness headache severe mouth sores anxiety restlessnass palpitations and racing heart insomnia nausea | On a total of 400mg a day postop by day 4 cut it to 200mg a day. Day 7 took 50 mg and stopped coldturkey.Experienced full blown withdrawl thathas lasted 3 days already. Will never touch this crap again should be off the market. | F | 65 | 9 days | 5/31/2018 | 1 | Pain Relief - Epidural Injection | No problems, initially. I took only one dose. It did nothing for the pain that I was having from an epidural injection. The pain from the epidural injection was extremely mild. My pain management doctor recommended that I use Tramadol or Ultram in case that I had pain from the procedure. | The day after I took just one 50 mg tablet, I became EXTREMELY agitated and EXTREMELY anxious. I did some research and discovered that I should not have taken this medication along with Klonopin and Trazodone - major contraindications. I have chronic back pain from pinched nerves and had to have an epidural injection in preparation for possible surgery. Ultram or Tramadol increased my back pain by, at least, 70%. I was in agony for 3 days. | F | 65 | 1 days 50 1X day | 4/18/2017 |
