| 1 | Fibro Pain | I fell like I'm on a bad high. This is the worst pain med I have ever taken I took 50 mg lastnite and I still feel like crap. When does the effects of this goes away. | F | 36 | 1 days | 7/3/2008 | 5 | neuropathic pain | none | F | 41 | 10 months | 6/29/2008 | 2 | post op pain | lightheaded, dry mouth and severe headache- NOT a migraine | i usually get migraines so i wasn't that surprised when i developed one after a few doses of ultram. however, imitrex, which is not a pain killer and actually does help my migraines, didn't do anything for this headache. the ultram induced severe headache lasted for a full 24 hours and of course, didn't want to take more ultram even though my shoulder that was in a great deal of pain from surgery, was still bothering me. I'd rather have the surgical pain than the headache. | F | 32 | 2 days | 6/29/2008 | 1 | chronic pain | elation, "wired feeling", when you quit: complete inability to function, severe Restless leg syndrome, extreme pain in legs | HIGHLY ADDICTIVE- Really hard to stop taking- withdrawls worse than herion. | F | 43 | 2 years | 6/23/2008 | 4 | Herniated Disc Pain | Constipation, a little "itchy" when "coming down" | Ultram rocks, first and foremost - it's a great pain reliever without making you feel like a lazy bag of crap. It also acts like an SSRI so it has anti-depressant like effects. I very rarely have back pain any longer but I still use Ultram (judiciously). I use it recreationaly for my favorite vice of all - sex. It can make it a challange to reach orgasm - which I leverage and love. You have to find what dose works for you because it can make it impossible. I'm happily married, monogamous, christian "family man". And this drug is great. Instead of trying NOT to have an orgasm you have to try TO have one - which changes the game dramatically - it's a blast. Wifey likes it too for the same reasons. I don't abuse it because I don't want to build a tolerance to it. I never take it more than 2x per week. I take 1-2 tablets aprox 4-6 hours before "show time" and it gives me great control. I discovered all of this anecdotally and know I'm reading that doctors are now prescr | M | 36 | 8 years | 6/9/2008 | 1 | migraines pain | SEIZURES! Grandmal seizures and peti mal seizures. Tired. | F | 31 | 4 days | 6/5/2008 | 1 | chronic back pain | not effective for indicated need as well as highly phsycally addictive,to the point of extreme | frind it hard to beieve this drug is more available than other schedule pain meds,scarry as hell | M | 52 | 30 days | 6/3/2008 | 4 | Neck pain | Why do so many people post comments and ratings here when they have only taken the drug for a day or two? You really don't know *anything* after such a short time and shouldn't be commenting and possibly misleading others. | M | 53 | 2 years | 6/1/2008 | 1 | for pain from pinched nerve in neck | Initially, mild euphoria and some lessening of pain. Developed severe tinitus that has not gone away after quitting. Also had severe short-term memory loss. | Don't believe your doctor about it being a nonadictive painkiller. After I had been using it a while, the pain killing effect went away, but I now needed it to keep opiate-like withdrawl symptons at bay. I finally woke up and quit when I lost the opportunity for a major job advancement. I failed to finish the qualifying test in time because of an Ultram induced stupor. Ultram is bad news for some of us. I am still having insomnia problemsn because of my adiction to this medicine. Be sure you don't become a victim by staying on this drug long term. | M | 54 | 8 years | 5/26/2008 | 1 | cervical pain | After taking one 50mg pill at 11:00 at night, I woke up promptly at 2:30 am wide-awake, tossed and turned for another hour and took another pill at 3:30 (pills t/b taken every 4-6 hrs.) Did not go back to sleep until 8:00 am the next morning with severe dizziness, nausea and almost a migraine-type headache. Stayed in bed until 11:00 that night when I started feeling semi-normal again. Still feel a little stoned the next day. Upset that I lost a whole day stuck in bed. NEVER NEVER will I take this medicine again. | When I look up this pill there seems to be a lot of concern about addiction. How anyone can become addicted to this med. I'll never know. | F | 40 | 2 times | 5/25/2008 | 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 | 1 | Back pain from scoliosis | I took 1 50 mg tablet, the first I've ever taken in my life. Upon first taking it, I experienced, slight pain relief. Then after 3 hours, a moderate headache came on. By hour 5, it turned into an intense migrane I could not shake. The intensity of the migrane was the worst I've ever had in my whole life, to the point where I was vomiting. | I don't know why I had such a bad reaction to this medication. I took it with food. It was the only time (and last) I used this medicine. I will NEVER NEVER NEVER ever take it again. The back pain that I originally took this medication for is nothing compared to these side effects. | F | 36 | 1 days | 5/11/2008 | 4 | Pain | Sleepy | M | 2 years | 5/9/2008 | 4 | severe fibromyalgia flare up- | A little spacey, light- headed, itching, nausea, bad dreams | Despite the side effects, I take this medicine because it's the ONLY drug I can take for severe fibro flare-up pain i.e.intense burning. It helps knock the intense pain down a bit. And, it helps me fall asleep. I don't over do them,though--they are addictive, make me forgetful and really nauseous. I don't need more symptoms that make me uncomfortable-I have enough! | F | 51 | 2 days | 5/5/2008 | 3 | LBP | Dry mouth and extreme itching all over body. Hearing was extremely sensitive. Insomnia. | M | 36 | 3 days | 4/28/2008 | 2 | chronic back pain, sprained wrist | I had been taking a low dose of 50mg when my back pain was very bad, just some times. It worked good, taking away the pain. And I felt like I had extra energy. But maybe too good, because I really wanted to use it all the time. I had no bad side effects then. But when I took 150mg twice a day for my sprained wrist for a week, I experienced some of the withdrawal symptoms, dry mouth, jitters, unable to sleep, crying jags, constipation and extra amounts of urine, when I stopped "cold turkey". That part has scared me away from using Ultram. I will ask my doctor for something else. | My doctor warned me Ultram was addictive and only to use it when my back pain was extra bad. She didn't mention withdrawal reactions. I was surprised I would get these after only a week of using it in the higher dose. | F | 56 | 7 days | 4/22/2008 | 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 | Crohn's pain and 6MP side-effects | A "stoned" feeling. Severe insomnia. "hangover"! | It really didn't do anything for the pain but it got me so "stoned" that the pain did bother me. Can't say if this is a good thing or a bad thing but the insomnia and hangover is killer. This drug is only a temporary band-aid until my doc can figure out the extent of damage the disease is causing and then give me an alternative. One thing I know is that this drug needs to be kept under lock and key since it is a sought after "street-drug" so if you carry it around do NOT let on that you have it. Sad but true, the "high" feeling was a welcomed break from the severe pain. been taking it on & off for about 2 years. I guess I'm lucky that the "addictive" effect hasn't taken hold | F | 26 | 2 years | 4/8/2008 | 1 | chronic Dislocated rib | BEWARE!!! Great energy at first, "crash like" feeling when it wears off. Highly addictive (never thought it could happen to me)My doctor didn't even warn me that it was additctive, I felt completely abandoned and had to wean myself off from it on my own. I healed much faster as I honestly think it was contributing to my muscle spasms. Please, do not take this medication!!! | F | 34 | 2 years | 3/28/2008 | 3 | fibromyalgia&osteoarthritis | constipation, other than that none. | It works for all pain but not for fibromyalgia. My dosage is 100 mg three times day.But I have other pain meds I take. This is just to keep the edge off. I take other pain meds orally, use patches, and other methods of pain relief | F | 38 | 2 years | 3/25/2008 |
