| 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 | 2 | lower back pain | low breathing (I would wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air, and was scared to go back to sleep because I thought I would stop breathing), low heart rate, tingly feeling, extremely nauseous, exhaustion, itchyness everywhere. | Was prescribed 50 mg. Had to stop after one day due to these symptoms. Hopefully what I get prescribed next will not have these effects. | F | 20 | 1 days | 10/21/2008 | 3 | back pain | constipation, and light headed | F | 26 | 2 months | 10/9/2008 | 1 | Pain | Grand Mal Seizure. | It relieved pain fine for 3 days, then I took it one morning and 30 minutes later - I am told that I had a provoked Grand Mal Seizure. At first, I thought that it was fine because I had been taking it for a few days, but apparently this is common with ultram. Have read a lot of other stories of seizures induced by Ultram. I have never had a seizure previous to this incident and had never taken too much. | M | 26 | 3 days | 10/6/2008 | 1 | heriated dics | VERTIGO!!!!!!!!!!! Constant Nausea, dizzy, constant pressure headache, blurred vision, itchy skin but mostly vertigo which made me throw up a lot. This went on for weeks even after I stopped taking it. | I feel this drug should be taken off the market because it made me so sick. | F | 43 | 1 weeks | 9/22/2008 | 5 | menstrual cramps, endometriosis | Clenched jaw, insomnia, dry mouth, itching | I have advanced endometriosis and my monthly cramps are excrutiating. I was having to take 3 Vicodin and 800 mg of Advil every six hours along with Flexeril every 12 hours to ease the pain. Now I only take 1 Ultram along with Advil and Flexeril and the pain is completely gone. What a miracle! To deal with the side effects I try not to respond to the urge to scratch, drink tons of water, and take 2 Diphenhydramine for sleep. | F | 31 | 2 days | 9/17/2008 | 5 | SI Joint Dysfunction | The only side effects that I have noticed is a moderate headache about 2 hours after taking this drug. | I take Ultram ER 200mg once dailly. This has been my miracle drug! I have been taking the Ultram immediate release drug(the 50mg tablets)but still had pain in between dosages. Was switched to this new dosage and I am loving it! Can be addicting and have suffered w/d symptoms before, but if you take as directed and taper off if discontinuing, it's great! | F | 29 | 2 days | 9/13/2008 | 1 | Fibromyalgia | Completely changed me as a person..made me feel like I'm not really in my body..fatigue, inability to concentrate and focus, headaches, dizziness, SEVERE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS | F | 24 | 5 years | 9/11/2008 | 1 | L5 back pain, leg pain | Nausea, no pain relief, caused two episodes of vomiting with shakes like a hangover on just 400 mg taken 12 hours apart. It seems to be different results for different people. | I have tried it several times over the last two months, and have not liked it at all. Side effects far outweigh the mild pain relief. | M | 52 | 6 weeks | 9/10/2008 | 2 | scoliosis&conjointed joints in back | sick to my stomache... helps pain then causes more... | wouldnt reccomend | F | 16 | 30 days | 9/8/2008 | 5 | 4 ruptured disks, lower back | slightly euphoric feeling when I 1st started the med (5 yrs ago) | No unpleasant side effects. Without drug back is very sore and it is very hard to function.I Have to be careful because pain relief is so complete that it would be easy to aggravate or cause more injury. Also has helped with moderate joint pain. Which was an unexpected benefit. | M | 52 | 5 years | 9/5/2008 | 1 | 3 Disk Herniations in Neck | Severe Headache, nausea, vomitting, felt as though my eyes were going to pop out of my head. This on top of not being able to hold my head upright. | I will never take this garbage again! It is horrible, with all potential side efects and the range of problems, I am getting ready to have an investigation launched into how dangerous this drug can be. | F | 37 | 2 days | 8/22/2008 | 1 | possible cracked rib | I took one 100mg Tramadol on the first day, I had some pain relief,but itching all over. The second day, I had some coffee and ate a banana for breakfast, took the 50mg Tramdol the doctor gave me as a prescription(the first one was a sample) and went to work. An hour later at work I was feeling dizzy, hot, lightheaded, and feeling like I was going to vomit. I left work, barely made it the several blocks to my house (driving) and promptly threw up all over the front lawn on getting out of the car! I was sick and dizzy all day! This is the day after that, and I still feel somewhat lightheaded and a little woozy. I will NEVER ever take Tramadol again!!! Also, I called my dad, who said just one pill made him vomit as well. I recommend taking SOMETHING ELSE! | This is disgusting stuff, and they shouldn't even give it to you without explaining ALL the side effects and symptoms! I wish I would have just kept taking Aleve, because now I feel worse than ever. | F | 57 | 2 days | 8/16/2008 | 4 | low back pain | Constpaton, occasional dizziness 7 nausea | switching back to tylenol & Codiene | F | 78 | 6 days | 8/14/2008 | 4 | severe chronic pain from scoliosis | tiredness ( is that even a word)?, lethargy, vivd dreams, ringing in my ears | I take this drug in an extended relaese form ( Called Raliva here in Canada), and so far it is working well. yes, it does have side effects, but anything is better than the pain I was in. I can function again ! I have been taking it for about 8 months now, and after being perscribed everything from Maorphine to demeraol to celebrex for pain, this works the best. | F | 36 | | 8/13/2008 | 4 | pain from knee tumor | high energy, a slight 'high', better sleep, excellent pain relief, maybe headaches? | I had severe pain from a large tumor growing within my knee joint, and then afterwards from two surgeries and a bought of radiation. I was taking the traditional narcotic pain relievers and felt like they induced too severe a high for me to function in my thinking intensive job. I mentioned these concerns to my doctor and he prescribed Ultram. While I was still very high I liked that it gave me more energy than the other medications which allowed me to complete a lot of work...though not tasks that required my full brainpower. I am very conservative in my use of these kinds of pain killers and only take one or two pills a day when in severe pain. Now that I am fully recovered I take about 1 or 2 a week to deal with the persistent arthritic pain from the radiation. I suffer from chronic insomnia and this actually helps me sleep while keeping my energy high during the day. I get headaches from time to time that may or may not be related to this medication [or a few too many pints : | F | 28 | 2 years | 8/8/2008 | 1 | SHOULDER SURGURY | GREAT HIGH, YOU LOVE EVERYONE. HEAD ACHE AT FIRST, BUT GOES AWAY. HEART RACED AND FLUTTERED. SLEEP DISTURBED, I HAD TO TAKE A SLEEP AID EVERY NIGHT. | I DID NOT TELL MY DR. THAT I HAVE HAD DRUG AND ALC. ISSUES. HAD I SHARED THIS INFO. WITH HIM HE MIGHT NOT HAVE GIVEN ULTRAM TO ME. I BECAME VERY DEPRESSED AND MANIC. I WAS ALSO TAKING 7.5 VICODIN AT THE SAME TIME, WITH MY DR O.K.. I STOPPED TAKING THE ULTRAM AND VICODIN 2 DAY'S AGO AND AM HAVING TERRIBLE RLS. EVEN WITH A LUNESTA TO PROMOTE SLEEP, IT IS UNBEARABLE. THE A.M. OF THE 3RD DAY I WOKE WITH AWFUL COTTON MOUTH.I THREW THE ULTRAM AWAY SO I AM NOT TEMPTED TO RESUME IT EVEN AT A LOWER DOSE TO GET OFF THE DRUG. I WILL RIDE IT OUT! I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS DRUG TO ANYONE. IT NEVER DID ANYTHING FOR MY PAIN IT JUST MADE ME FEEL HIGH.I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT OTHER GREAT WITHDRAWL EFFECTS WILL REAR IT'S UGLY HEAD BUT I WILL DEAL WITH THEM AS THEY PRESENT THEMSELVES. | F | 55 | 2.5 years | 8/6/2008 | 3 | Pain management | feeling "high" this lasted longer than I thought it would last.It lasted into the next day. | Took it for chronic pain but have researched the cause and am working on eliminating the cause rather than the symptoms. It was effective. The only thing that bothered me about it was the fact that it works as a mild SSRI as well as a synthetic narcotic. | M | 39 | 4 months | 8/2/2008 | 5 | Pain managment from groinal injury | slight euphoria, some itchy red eyes the day after, intense dreams, orgasm took longer due to decreased sensations, also being an insomniac i was a little concerned with those side effects but it allowed me to sleep very well. | I suffer from chronic pain from severe back and neck injuries, also have regular migraines, 50 mg every 8 hrs seemed to help me find a great painless state which allows me to function well beyond my normal ability. I think, as with all drugs it always related to individual body chemistry as to how these things affect each person. | M | 35 | 2 days | 7/18/2008 | 5 | sciatica from degen. disc disease | sleeplessness if taken after 4 or 5pm | i think this med is great for a nonnarcotic. i take no more than 2 x daily. very easy to get online. i have tried most opiates/opioids ranging from hydrocodone to fentanyl. These obviously work better but are very addicting. | M | 28 | 5 years | 7/17/2008 |
