| 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 | Doesn't help with pain very much. Bad side effects. Makes you feel like you have to pee all the time. They took away Darvocet which had been used over 50 years and worked! Now you can choose between ultram which isn't even as good as tylenol, or opioids with the accompanying suspicion and hassels. Thanks FDA for ruining so many lives. | M | 50 | one pill 3X day | 5/30/2018 | 1 | Back and knee pain from accident | Excessive sweating, nervousness, weird sick feeling,weird dreams and sleep disturbances. | I have been taking Ultram for about a month. My pain management doctor put me on it for a slipped disc in my back, hip and knee pain. I have been taking 100mg daily and it has done nothing for my pain. What it has done is given me terrible side effects. Tramadol is more than useless. When I go back to my doctor I am going to ask him to change it to something different. I am sick and depressed from being in so much pain everyday and the Ultram has just increased those feeling.I would not recommend it to anyone. | F | 50 | 4 weeks 50 MG | 3/20/2018 | 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 | 1 | Fibromyalgia and neck pain | Increased pain and abnormal sleep pattern after several years on it. | Tramadol was the cure-all when I was first put on it. It was said that it was not addictive. It seemed to help for several years, but I found out quickly that if I missed a dose I had bad withdrawals. Over the years it actually began to cause some of my pain, and I slept very odd hours. After a torturing six months of tapering off, I am finally free of it. I am still having tremors and RLS after six months off the drug, but it's better than it was when the withdrawals were at their worst. I wish I would have known when I began this long journey that it had the potential to be extremely addictive, and eventually even cause pain. I never had the response of seeking more, or increasing my dosage. In fact, when I would forget a dose, it would take me a while to figure it out because the withdrawals were very similar to my fibro pain. | F | 50 | 15 years 50mg 4X day | 1/12/2017 | 1 | Joint pain | Helped with pain from the start. I took it at bedtime about 3-4 nights a week. About 3 weeks in, I became ill- thought I had flu or food poisoning. I was dizzy, sensitive to light, and felt like I couldn't keep my eyes open. I felt like I could only close my eyes and lay in bed- hoping it would pass. I was sweaty, flushed, and had no appetite whatsoever. I had diarrhea as well. I thought I was going to vomit every second. This went on for 2 days. 3rd day in I went to Dr. - hoping for anti emetic and relief. Dr. ordered a host of labs and did a thorough neuro exam. No answers- all labs normal. After going through everything myself to figure out what was wrong- I realized Ultram was newest RX. Read medical info- and clearly this was the issue and cause of my illness. Ugh! | I will never take Ultram ever again. What horrible side effects I experienced. Not to mention loss of work and family time. This RX should not be used lightly and without upfront discussion with Dr. and pharmacist. Research and discuss other options. | F | 46 | 4 weeks 50mg | 8/12/2016 | 1 | Pain | Nothing | This did not help at all, what a waste of money, not to mention the wear on my liver even if I only took it once. | F | 60 | 1 days 50mg 1X day | 1/14/2016 | 1 | knee injury | No side effects | Junk. My dr prescribed this waste of time to me in attempt to treat my knee pain instead of a typical painkiller (percocet/vicoden). Did nothing to alleviate my knee pain. | F | 34 | 3 weeks 50mg | 7/28/2015 | 1 | jaw bone smoothed after tooth pulle | took first dose at 4 pm, felt slightly dizzy but not bad at all as always have horrible reactions to drugs, but did not help pain at all. second dose at 10 , getting tired but couldn't sleep, got very hot sweating, stomach felt like on rollercoaster, now been throwing up all night. I give up on pain meds!!!!!!! mostly I just live with pain was just hoping for some relief for once but won't happen.... | will never take again, when will the nausea and throwing up stop, only took 2 doses... | F | 49 | 1 days 50 4X day | 4/21/2015 | 1 | impacted wisdom tooth removal | Spaced out couldnt tell if i was awake or asleep dizzy racing heart extremely moody kind of depressed | Oral surgeon prescribed this garbage it did mothing for pain i called and told them the effects i was having and it didnt help pain and they said we cant give you anything stronger lol they wouldnt be saying that if it was them experiening pain from wisdom tooth surgery. If someone jas legit pain why should they have to suffer when something that works can be perscribed RIDICULOIS!!!! | F | 38 | 3 days 50 | 2/12/2015 | 1 | Bacterial infection: Pain, Ache | Tremors, Heart feeling. "Faint" or "Fluttering." Anxiety, stress.. | F | 32 | 1 days 50mgX2X3 | 11/4/2014 | 1 | shoulder pain | I took one dose at bedtime and woke up in the middle of the night itching, but it wasn't severe and I fell back asleep. In the morning I was so dizzy and sleepy, I had a hard time getting kids ready for school. I was too dizzy to drive so someone else had to drive them to school. I went back to sleep for 3 hours. I remained dizzy the rest of the day with a slight headache and even took another nap. | This drug did NOT help my pain at all. I will not take this drug again. | F | 35 | 1 days 50 mg 1X day | 5/23/2013 | 1 | Fibromyalgia | I had seizers, horrible headaches that made my face tingle, severe sweating and so much more! I was hospitalized for a week in the ICU due to the seizures I was having as a side effect from this drug. And went through severe withdrawal when the hospital took me off of it. NEVER TAKE THIS DRUG! Horrible. | F | 17 | 2 months 50 MG | 2/15/2013 | 1 | back pain | suicide | My son (age 30) cannot speak for himself and I wonder how many other people have experienced what he did. Within 4-5 hours of taking Ultram for the first time, he picked up a pistol and put a bullet through his brain. I am the caretaker of his memory, so I'm putting his age and gender. | M | 30 | 1 times 50 mg 4X day | 2/8/2013 | 1 | Kidney Infection | Some itching on the skin. But more than anything: persistent & intensely severe headaches (felt like my entire skull was being hammered over and over). Even the bones on my face ached with pain. This drug pained my sinus cavities and caused me to have uncontrollably runny nose out of the blue. Could barely open my eyes because I was too exhausted from the pain, but couldn't even fall asleep because the drug kept me awake. So I just lie awake with the pain, or pace around like a lunatic until I became too weak to stand up. Tramadrol drove me to the point of insanity. I even resorted to banging my head against the wall to give minor relief to the unbearable headaches. Couldn't focus on anything else because the headache was constant and extreme, unlike any other headaches I've ever had. In fact, I would rather much go through childbirth than have the headaches from Tramadol. | I quit after 3 days. Yes, it concealed my kidney pain, but it caused me even more pain than that. It was a nightmare I never want to go through again. Felt like hell. Funny thing was, I called the doctor's office and the nurse acted surprised and said that Tramadol does not cause headaches. Look at the Rx warnings, moron! It says to call my doctor ASAP if I get severe & persistent headaches! | F | 32 | 3 days 50 4X day | 2/3/2013 | 1 | Crohn's disease | Dizzy - so dizzy it horrified me and made me nauseated. Fell several times en rte to bathroom. kept getting strange "hiccups" in hearing. NEVER TAKING AGAIN. Barely controlled pain. | F | 34 | 2 days 50mg/4-6 h | 1/24/2013 | 1 | Ankle injury- pain | Throat swelling, tremors, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, sweats, nightmares. Addicting. Was not told by my foot specialist of side effects. When I said, was told to stop taking. Went cold turkey due to lack of knowledge. Worst withdraw like a cocaine addict. Worst weeks if my life and thanks to it, today I'm on meds trying to correct what's was f**ked due to cold turkey withdraw and side effects. Horrible medicine for me. | F | 28 | 3 weeks 50mg | 10/7/2012 | 1 | Test Subject | I cut a 50 mg pill in half to be on the safe side to try this drug. In 15 minutes I felt like I was going to throw up and my stomach felt like it had a severe case of acid indigestion. There was at least one hour were I was writhing in bad pain then another hour before I could get off the couch and report this. It is 2 hrs & 9 minutes and I can't tell a thing other than being dead sick during the time mentioned. | Severely sick then nothing. This stuff is good 4 NOTHING! | M | 41 | 1 days 25 MG 1X day | 4/6/2012 | 1 | for pain | I also take Effexor so my doctor decreaed the effexor. I was good until the fourth week. The sweating was, terrible, my hair was wet in the afternoon, it didn't help my pain, and it made me really anxious at 200mg a day. I went back to 100mg a day, and a little less Effexor and I have been fine. The one benifit is the little bit of antidepressent in the med, so my mood improoved, so I don't want to stop it . | M | 50 | 40 days 100mg 2X day | 2/21/2012 | 1 | Pain relief after c-section | Dizziness, disorientation, nausea, anxiety, slow heartbeat, shortness of breath, muscle twitches, insomnia, sweating | Genius drug to prescribe to a new mother- NOT! I wish I'd found this site before I just took my last dose of Ultram/Tramadol half an hour ago. I was given Tramadol four times a day at 40mg starting the day after my caesarean section for routine pain relief. Initially I was happy that it worked to control the pain, and I was okay with the fact that I was also feeling extremely dizzy- I thought it might have been due to the operation that I couldn't walk ten steps without having to grab at a wall for support. After four days of increasing dizziness and nausea, I took a dose later than usual (after midnight), and for the first time I noticed that my pulse had dropped to around 50 beats per minute. I was trying to sleep while my new baby was sleeping, but I began to get the awful sense that my breaths were way too far apart as I was dozing off- like I was going to pass out rather than go to sleep. The breaths I could catch felt too shallow to do much. I lay there in an anxious sweat for a couple of hours before calling the nurse, who told me that panic/ anxiety attacks were a common side effect of Tramadol, an that's probably what I was feeling. Definitely true to an extent- my calf muscles were twitching in a really strange way, and in the end I was awake the entire night feeling paranoid about DVT. Anyway! At that point she told me to take only one tablet next time, but I didn't take any for a couple of days. My dizziness continued just as strongly the whole time, to the point | F | 30 | 4 days 20-40 4X day | 2/13/2012 |
