| 5 | Low back pain | When I started taking it, I would feel a nice relaxed feeling in my legs and hands. Some Euphoria. After I quit cold turkey I developed horrible flu like symptoms, and terrible hip pain and I was unable to walk for 2 months. I finally had to buy an electric wheel chair. I had several cats scan done after that. My Doctors think that it could have been a bad allergic reaction to tramadol. By the way I also developped bloody stools. | Tramadol is great. It is the best non-narcotic medication I have ever used. I love it!!! And aside from the horrible withdrawal symptoms I would recomend it to any one!! | F | 32 | 2 years | 7/15/2006 | 4 | chronic back pain | extra energy and irritability, also not quite as sharp mentally. | This drug is addictive-do not be in denial about this fact. The withdrawals were the worst thing I have ever experienced. I took narcotics in the past as needed for back pain. I NEVER experienced the level of negative withdrawals like I had while taking tramadol-ultram. I have been off of tramadol for 6 months-I needed a medical detox to do this. | F | 45 | 7 days | 7/15/2006 | 1 | Fibromyalsia | Grand Mal Siezure which caused injury to my brain. Minor siezures. Dizziness. Feeling spacey. Headaches. Blurred or double vision. Hearing distant voices. Difficulty urinating. Psychotic episodes following siezures and suicidal tendencies. Huge weight loss. 170 lbs. to 127.5 lbs in 2 months. | Of course I was placed on 630, 50 mg. pills for 2 months. However, Ultram did help the pain. | F | 37 | 2 months | 7/10/2006 | 1 | Severe acute back pain | none | Might as well just take a placebo. Anyone who says this medicine works for pain... it's all in your head I promise. Ask your doctor for some real pain medicine. | F | 34 | 6 months | 7/3/2006 | 5 | chronic myofascial pain | Occasionally: dry mouth, eyes, fatique-especially when taking more than 250 mg./24 hours | I take an avg. dose of 150 mg/24 hrs; sometimes up to 400 mgs (bad breakthrough pain) or as low as 100 mgs./24 hours, in combination w/physiotherapy and rehab. exercises. I have gone through a chronic pain clinic as well. No feelings of being 'high,' I am not pain free, but can tolerate it quite well most days. I also take Neurontin (now only 1-2 300 mg. tabs/24 hrs.) for some nerve pain. Ultram is the only med. that has worked well for me and I would be in absolute despair without it. I am averse to taking medications, and hope to someday not need anything. | F | 47 | 7 years | 7/2/2006 | 4 | migraine | no particular side effects | F | 41 | 2 years | 6/26/2006 | 3 | cant take coedine based pain killer | i get the flu like symptoms when i stop taking it.Im frightened I may becoming addicted to it. | because i cant take coedine based pain killers for severe pain,this is all the doctors want to give me.Ive needed it for sinus trouble,kidney stones and arthritis but it makes me nervous using it.Do i have the flu or am i in withdrawl?Have taken it on and off for 3years. | M | 43 | | 6/6/2006 | 4 | degnerative disc/ neck | only side effect is constipation | I actually take ultracet which has tylenol added. I have been taking this on and off for the last 4 years- it is the only thing I can take that doesn't cause an allergic reaction and does NOT make me groggy. | F | 53 | 4 years | 6/3/2006 | 3 | low back pain | Good pain relief, but horrible stomach problems--like I ate rocks. | My doctor gave me some samples of Tramadol ER today--evidently the new, improved Tramadol (Ultram is the generic of Tramadol). this is a time-released pill, 200 ml., taken once a day, as opposed to 50 ml for the Ultram I was taking every 6 hours. According to the literature, it takes 4 days for the levels to build up in your system, then you maintain the level with once-a-day dosing. Evidently it's for long-term chronic pain. He said there would be fewer stomach problems because it dissolves as it passes through the intestines instead of immediately in your stomach. I haven't tried it yet, because I'm trying to let my stomach recover from the regular Tramadol. Has anyone had any experience with it? It's so new that I couldn't pull it up on this website. Any input would be appreciated. | M | 48 | 3 weeks | 5/31/2006 | 5 | | 5/4/2006 | 2 | shoulder, neck pain and headaches | This med gave me a headache and made me severly sick to my stomach. I was throwing up for several hours and almost 24 hours later I am still very nauseated. Not worth the sickness | F | 43 | 1 days | 5/3/2006 | 5 | M | | 4/26/2006 | 2 | Menstrual Cramps | Slight dizziness, sleepy, a little loopy. | This medicine hardly touched my menstrual pain. This is only my first month on it, but my pain was worse than ever. | F | 40 | 3 days | 4/14/2006 | 4 | endometriosis pain, restless legs | The only side effects I have ever noticed are mild euphoria, and really horrible withdrawal. I definately have to taper myself off of tramadol and even then I get body zaps, insomnia, really bad restless legs, irritability, etc. | Ultram is the only thing that works for my endometriosis pain and it also seems to make me happier in general. I love the effect it has on my restless legs syndrome but I just wish it didn't have such horrible withdrawal symptoms. | F | 28 | 3 years | 4/11/2006 | 4 | chronic leg pain from surgery & DVT | It makes me tired, woozy, and a little "loopy/ditzy" sometimes. Increases distortion and ringing in my left ear. | I take Ultracet every day to keep chronic pain down and to stay mobile. Works on some things, not on others. It doesn't take all the pain away, but does take the edge off of chronic pain in my leg/feet/tendons when I walk. It also helps with the ache from valves damaged by a blood clot. It does nothing to tame the shooting/burning neuropathic pain from post clot nerve damage. I feel a little nausious and loopy sometimes, but nothing like the narcotic pain killers which wipe me out. I think I have adjusted to it and take more when I need it. Tried the new extended release version recently and it was not as effective. | F | 38 | 1 years | 4/11/2006 | 2 | joint hypermobility syndrome | Started to take the generic form on a tuesday night bf bed. Helped ease the pain but kept me up for over 65 hrs. Finally had to stop taking it. | F | 28 | 3 days | 4/8/2006 | 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 | Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome | Tiredness | Cleared my agonizing pain, this drug is a miracle. | M | 18 | 3 days | 4/1/2006 | 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 | Spinal fractures & broken ribs | Very slight euphoria, more relaxed, and overall increased happiness. Just developed (today) a weird ringing in my ears that also makes high pitched voices sometimes sound like they are talking through the spinning blades of an electric fan. | I started taking Ultram about 7 months ago after a bad car accident. I had major internal organ damage, broken ribs, spinal fractures, a concussion, etc. The doctor refused to prescribe opiates, and instead gave me Darvocet. Darvocet was worthless. Then we tried Ultram. It worked OK by itself, but combined with ibuprofen it is fantastic! I take 2 50mg Ultram and 2-3 200mg ibuprofen once in the morning and once in the evening. The pain relief lasts 6-8 hours. My pain is mainly low to medium level abdomenal aches, neck and back pain. | M | 35 | 7 months | 3/9/2006 |
