| 5 | | 5/4/2006 | 5 | Neck/Back Pain From Trauma | Some itching at first. Energy, motivation | Started taking for a fractured jaw and neck injury. Works great on pain especially when taken with Ultram. Makes me a working machine. I feel no pain and can swing a hammer all day long with minimal neck pain. It is addicting, but who cares when you can't get up out of bed without it? I'd rather be addicted and immobilized. | 2.5 years | 11/12/2006 | 5 | M | | 4/26/2006 | 5 | back pain ,arthritis | had to take the last dose 6 hrs before bed or had trouble getting to sleep | excellent pain med for moderate acute and chronic pain. I had no trouble quitting it when I was pain free. It does raise the norepinephrine level a bit giving an energy boost. I had also read it stimulates the immune system to an extent unlike opioids which suppress it | M | 30 years 50mg 2X day | 10/30/2014 | 4 | Back Pain | I get a peculiar ringing in my ears! Does anyone else | It really does work - so much better than the Brufen and Indocid that doctors have given me for the last 30 years! | M | 6 months | 3/29/2005 | 4 | Carpal Tunnel | Dry mouth, sometime rash on face, Constipated | this med works good, helps me sleep, gives me more energy and has helped me lose weight. It does help with mood. I am sure that coming off of it can be a problem. | F | 2 years | 4/20/2007 | 4 | Pain | Sleepy | M | 2 years | 5/9/2008 | 4 | | 1/23/2003 | 4 | chronic pain | SLIGHT itching. SLIGHT Nausea. | Aprroximately as effective a codeine, but doesn't produce the mental "cloudiness" nor constipation that codeine does. | 6 months | 11/21/2002 | 4 | | 7/3/2002 | 3 | Chronic LBP | headache, inability to concentrate, horrific withdrawals | I take a very low dose of 50mg at night when the pain is at it's worst. The next morning, I wake up with a headache. If I take 100mg, the next day I have a debilitating headache. It does take the edge of my back pain, but the headaches are worse. | M | 2 months | 4/13/2008 | 3 | | 5/24/2005 | 2 | Neck pain | Sicker than a dog. Throwing up. | Was prescribed by doctor but he didn't advise of the possible side effects. I'm in Holland, btw. Ultram here is called Tramadol. I won't be taking it again. No drug is worth getting used to if you can't even stay hydrated from puking. | F | 1 days | 6/19/2009 | 1 | chronic back pain | The combination of Ultram, antidepressant & grapefruit juice can cause grand mal seizures. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before combining any meds with Ultram and/or grapefruit juice. It can be a toxic cocktail. | | 8/8/2009 | 1 | neck pain | I DEVELOPED FLEAS..YES FLEAS..IT MADE ME ITCH REAL BAD..STARTED SCRATCHING LIKE A DOG SCRATCHES..USING MY LEGS TO SCRATCH | STILL LOOKING FOR A FLEA COLLAR THAT CAN FIT A 300LB MAN | M | 245678 weeks | 4/8/2006 | 5 | degen. arthritis knee * back | little weird at first, then no side effects to complain about, beats being in pain 27/7. | The doc gave me a sample to use & it did cause extreme vomiting/headache. Thought I was dying... Went back & he gave me a low dose w/prescription and even though I was nervous about it- filled & tried it again. It worked fine. I took for about 3 months, 2 per 24 hr period then gradually cut back to 1 pill and now I only occasionally have to go on it when I can't take the pain or sleep well. It's a godsend for chronic pain- only I suggest start with the lowest dose, wait for a few days, then increase (per doc's recommendation) to maybe avoid any extreme reactions/effects. | F | 5 | 3 months | 2/20/2009 | 2 | Rhabdomyolysis | dizziness and general lost feeling 2 hours after taking. Insomnia | does not work as well as narcotics doesnt really help with the pain | M | 15 | 1 months | 4/15/2009 | 4 | taylor spatial frame on tibia | constipation, a tad "high" feeling | next best thing to percocet. Was forced off of percocet because narcotics are particularly addictive and dangerous and found tramadol to be the best option next to narcotics. I didnt find as addictive. | F | 16 | 2 weeks | 5/22/2008 | 3 | Recreational Uses for depression | While my body was getting used to it, when I took 5, i would sometimes vomit and my heart rate would get fast. I would also lose appetite and be fatigued. Even after my body was used to it, I would still have a loss of appetite and I would be tired. | It isn't addictive | M | 16 | 4 months 450mg 1X day | 3/17/2013 | 2 | scoliosis&conjointed joints in back | sick to my stomache... helps pain then causes more... | wouldnt reccomend | F | 16 | 30 days | 9/8/2008 |
