| 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 | 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 | | 5/24/2005 | 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 | Headaches | imbalance, uncoordination, mood swings,difficulty focusing | quitting was even worse. More headaches, and felt horrible. zI was not on the med for a long time, so my experience with the drug may not be typical. | 44 | 2 weeks | 8/26/2004 | 5 | PAIN IN BACK | DEPRESSION IF YOU GO OFF OF IT | F | 54 | 2 years | 9/7/2004 | 5 | Migraine Headache pain | This is the only medication I can take that does not cause stomach upset during my horrible migraines, plus it takes the edge off of my pain. | If anyone knows where this may be ordered (inexpensive, of course) please email me and let me know...This is the only med that works for me, but hard to get a prescription for...Thank you for any info! Becky | F | 40 | 1 years | 8/25/2004 | 5 | fibromyalgia | none | Have taken this med off and on for 8 years and have never had a problem with withdrawal. | F | 48 | 8 years | 8/7/2004 | 5 | cervical disk/migraines | None that I noticed | I take Ultracet and found it was the only thing I can take that works and doesn't cause allergic reactions. Took it for 2 years and got off of it about 6 months ago but am going to start up again. | F | 51 | 2 years | 7/2/2004 | 5 | Fibromyalgia/Chronic Pain | Lots of sweating, enhances my mood - works better than my anti depressants. Wakes me up and helps me concentrate without the jitters. Trouble falling asleep. | I LOVE TRAMADOL! I have suffered with fibromyalgia my whole life. I always hurt and was always cold even when the rest of the world was hot. I started taking tramadol and my pains were mostly gone. I do have days when even tramadol doesn't help but at least I have many more good days. Now a days, I'm the one who is always hot and everyone else is cold. I sweat a lot but I rather sweat than be in pain and cold. I also noticed that I feel more alert and happy with this medication. The only thing I don't like about it is that I don't sleep on days I take it close to bedtime. It completely makes my sleep go away, even without sleep, as long as I continue to take it through the day, I can function fine thanks to the effects of tramadol. Tramadol has changed my life in many wonderful ways. I would hate to get to a point where it stops working. I would hate to go back to hurting all the time. | F | 34 | 2 years | 10/22/2008 | 5 | manage back and neck pain | I had no side effects while on this drug however I am now trying to get off of it and am experiencing upset stomach, dizziness, sleeplessness just overall yucky Does anyone know if over the counter meds could help relieve this withdrawl systoms | F | 43 | | 11/15/2004 | 5 | severe back pain | dryness in mouth | Have a dependency to it and have known others that have too. Trying to come off it and am finding it quite difficult - sweats, sleeplessness, dizziness and typical withdrawal symptoms. | F | 53 | 4 years | 5/25/2004 | 5 | 2 bulging discs in back | Slight dizziness at first, slight nausea--need to take with food. Some teeth clenching at first--you need to step up to the amount you can handle. | I found that Ultram and Ultracet worked incredibly well for my chronic back pain. Out of all the medications I have been prescribed, this drug seemed to zero in on the problem area and made bending and normal tasks achievable again. I believe that the more you take, the more tolerance you build for the drug, so take the least amount you can. I have gotten some resistance from doctors to prescribing this medication because it is strong. However, I do not believe I have had problems with addiction as I have gone on and off this drug without any problems. I have taken this drug on and off for about 2 years now. | F | 35 | 2 years | 12/9/2003 | 5 | Rhuematoid arthritis | none | Only med that touches my pain | F | 53 | 3 years | 1/2/2004 | 5 | post surgical pain | just a bit sleepy | very effective when I needed somthing stonger | F | 48 | 2 days | 2/18/2003 | 5 | initally for neck pain | headache, coldness | I love ultram.....! I have been taking it for 6-7 yrs. on and off. Initially it was prescribed for muscle spasms in my neck ...but now I take it for arthritis,depression,energy and even for allergies.....one pill takes care of it all!!!! I usually break a 50mg. and only take 1/2...I find that it works almost as well as taking the whole 50mg.....I do agree that it is addictive...and I have been afraid of becoming addictive because I'm fearful that my doctor is going to stop giving me prescriptions (he's aware of the addictiveness)....I don't know what I'll do.....probably go to another doctor....or? | F | 62 | 6 days | 3/16/2006 | 5 | Endometriosis | I have lots of energy about an hour after taking it that lasts most of a day (6-7 hours) Very dry mouth. | This is the only medication that has been able to stop the pain from my stage 3 endo. I would be lost without it. | F | 34 | 2 years | 10/22/2006 |
