| 2 | joint pain from chemo drug Taxotere | indigestion, nausea, vomiting | F | 56 | 3 weeks | 1/29/2005 | 1 | Pelvic Myoneuropathy | None | A couple of swills of Gentleman Jacks works MUCH BETTER for me. Personally, I think Ultram is for | M | 87 | 1 days | 1/29/2005 | 1 | Pelvic Myoneuropathy | ...forgot to include in my previous post: I had a | M | 87 | | 1/29/2005 | 4 | migranes | takes away headaches gives feeling of euphoria/overall well being. | M | 22 | 1 months | 1/28/2005 | 3 | back pain | Moderate pain relief, then a few months of wonderfully energizing mild hypomania. Rare side effect, I later learned. Was amazing, not speedy but very energized, clear thinking, libido returned, etc. Burned out after four months, depressed. | As a chronic depressive who has tried many head meds with few lasting results, I thought I had found my miracle cure in this odd place -- a pain pill. | M | 43 | 4 months | 1/28/2005 | 4 | pain | speediness | somewhat addictive | M | 27 | 3 months | 1/21/2005 | 4 | back pain | buzzed, seems like a speed, foggy thinking | M | 26 | 60 days | 1/16/2005 | 4 | back/leg pain, can't take nsaids | none at all, except recent memory loss which could be unrelated to the drug | My gastroenterologist started me on this to replace the ibuprofen I had been taking for my back pain, I have had good results but sometimes it is not enough to take care of my pain and I need to supplement with 1/2 of a 5/500 hydrocodone tablet. My husband has been prescribed ultram also but doesn't like it--says it turns him into a | F | 45 | 8 years | 1/11/2005 | 3 | pain from a spinal abcess | none so far | just doesnt seem to be doing very much for the pain | M | 43 | 1 weeks | 1/11/2005 | 3 | ulnar nerve surgery | headache, flu like symptoms when I stop, inability to concentrate | It works wonders on the pain but it is addictive for me. When I stop taking it I get sweats and shakes, aggravation etc... my doctor just upped my does but I won't take more. | F | 32 | 1.5 years | 1/4/2005 | 4 | Scoliosis | Hi My friend was taking Ultram for 7 years as she has Congenital Scoliosis, she has just had her 5th surgery and has decided to come off Ultram now. However she has been experiencing what she thinks is the flu, but after reading some information I believe it to be side effects and withdrawal from the drug, is this normal and how long does it last for, does she need to see a doctor about her current feelings of flu, hot and cold, muscle pains and very tired? I am concerned about her and would like to put her mind at rest. Thanks all Simone | F | 28 | 7 years | 12/11/2004 | 3 | chronic pain | Restless legs, other mild serotonin syndrome type effects at first... perhaps interaction with previous antidepressant med? Not happening now. Some daytime sleepiness. | Certainly better pain relief with Tramadol than any of the NSAIDS or Cox-2 Inhibitors. Still hurting though. Combining with tylenol or ibuprofen helps. Truth be told, my standards are higher now that I know what it's like to have a day with considerably reduced pain - I didn't know I had it so bad. | M | 42 | 8 months | 12/1/2004 | 3 | pain | Shaky | M | 54 | | 11/26/2004 | 4 | Sciatica/Back problems | It made me feel spacey at first. | It works well for me to take the edge off of my leg pain from sciatica. I don't think its as effective as some of the other opiates for relieving pain. However, I find it helps to take the burning/nerve pain away better than any of the over the counter meds you can get. I've been taking it for about 6 months and usually take it in the morning and at night. I do think I'm somewhat addicted to it...I don't really crave it when I don't take it, but I do feel uneasy and anxious when I don't. I do think it has an anti depression effect for me. I just feel better when I take it than when I don't. It's worked for me..it's allowed me to keep working when otherwise I wouldn't have been able to. | F | 44 | 6 months | 11/20/2004 | 4 | chronic headaches, shoulder pain | sometimes it causes minor itching, rarely much of a problem. | Effective when taken BEFORE pain gets too bad, when it is coming on. If taken constantly as prescribed it loses some effectiveness. Only take the minimum amount, when you have to. It does improve the quality of life and mental attitude. | M | 43 | 1 years | 11/18/2004 | 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 | 1 | Because of the severe pain in head | From taking 2 Tramadol in a day, I have experience Nausea, dizziness and drowsiness. | i woldn,t wanna try Tramadol again to ease the pain in my head for it only annihilate my trust into that medication. | F | 26 | 2 days | 10/27/2004 | 1 | RSD | none | Would rather just take advil. Ultram did not touch my pain. | F | 36 | 3 months | 10/24/2004 | 3 | Chronic Back, Bladder Pain | Dry mouth, constipation while taking drug. Seizures, insomnia, withdrawal after ceasing the medication. | This medication worked to some degree for me in controlling my pain. Several physicians who prescribing the drug to me did not bother telling me how dependent the body can become on it. In addition, I was told nothing about possibility of seizures with long-term use of Tramadol. When I did have seizures, I stopped taking the medication immediately-and suffered withdrawal symptoms as a result. Be extremely careful in using this medication! | M | 47 | 3 years | 10/17/2004 | 4 | Herniated Disks, temple, psoratic a | IN the begjing a bit dizzy, goes away in short time. ONly lasts for about 3-4 hours | Works well. Not as good as other pain medicines but this one is good for moderate pain BEFORE it happens. I found that this medicine taken every four hours (2 pills, 100 mg)is the only way it helps manage the pain. If you have an onset of severe pain, I suggest to take another medicine stronger and more for severe to modereately severe pain (even percocette or something along that line).. Good as a pain managment system along with your Dr and managed prescription. PS...do not take yourself off suddenly..very unpleasant. I was very surprised. But it lasts for about 1-2 days and gradually you feel better. Not at all as bad as trying to get off opiods though. I was so pleasantly surprised that this medicine worked and it was not a narcotic or anything like it..but it tells you if you are allergic to those type of medicines be cautious. Does not work well with strong pain at all. LIke I said...this is a management pain medicine. | M | 44 | 4 months | 9/20/2004 |
