| 4 | pain | dizziness, euphoria, constipation | Works very well for pain, have never had any seizures from it. | M | 25 | 30 days | 2/9/2004 | 5 | bone spur pain | felt a calming effect | M | 54 | | 2/2/2004 | 5 | Rhuematoid arthritis | none | Only med that touches my pain | F | 53 | 3 years | 1/2/2004 | 5 | Restless Leg Sysdrome, Osteoarthrit | Up to 150 mg per day no side effects | Seems to relieve pain with no gastric upset | M | 72 | 6 months | 12/27/2003 | 5 | 2 bulging discs in back | Slight dizziness at first, slight nausea--need to take with food. Some teeth clenching at first--you need to step up to the amount you can handle. | I found that Ultram and Ultracet worked incredibly well for my chronic back pain. Out of all the medications I have been prescribed, this drug seemed to zero in on the problem area and made bending and normal tasks achievable again. I believe that the more you take, the more tolerance you build for the drug, so take the least amount you can. I have gotten some resistance from doctors to prescribing this medication because it is strong. However, I do not believe I have had problems with addiction as I have gone on and off this drug without any problems. I have taken this drug on and off for about 2 years now. | F | 35 | 2 years | 12/9/2003 | 4 | muscle injury, spasms, pain | Relaxed, euphoric. Helped a great deal with pain. | Only problem is it works very good for a 4-5 days then effects rapidly dimenish. | M | 52 | 15 days | 9/25/2003 | 4 | rotator cuff syndrome/bursitis | sweating when I first started taking it and now I could not live without it. Im hooked be carefull. | Im in australia here it goes by the name of tramal I take 150mg every night and vioxx with some 50mg tramal during the day. works well with the pain, not like codene..gets into your head more. by the way I feel sorry for you folks in the states having to pay the crazy prices you do just to feel normal. lol | M | 37 | 12 months | 9/17/2003 | 3 | fibromyalgia | First few times I took it, I became dizzy, sweaty and very weak. After I got used to it, the effectiveness (pain-killing) seem to wane. | F | 49 | 1.5 years | 8/29/2003 | 4 | restless legs syndrome | euphoria, like I was getting a nice chemical hug, but without dulling my mind. | Works perfectly on RLS, but after taking for over a year, I had unpleasant withdrawals. :( However, a cocktail of naproxen, immodium and dextromethorphan helped immensely with the withdrawal symptoms. | F | 32 | 2 years | 7/14/2003 | 2 | myofascial pain syndrome | Vomiting for about 8 hours after taking each dose | Yes, it did help with my pain, but spent my pain free time throwing up every half hour. Tried three times with time in between, all had same effect. | F | 26 | 5 days | 6/25/2003 | 4 | arthritus | M | 55 | 2 years | 6/19/2003 | 4 | Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia/AVN | None | I've been on this medication for 7 years, switched to Ultracet when it came on market (lower dose of Ultram with Tylenol). It gets rid of a great deal of pain and makes it easier with daily activities. It does not cause the grogginess and lethargy you get in taking a conventional narcotic prepartation. The only drawback I've noticed is withdrawal symptoms when discontinuing this medication which has happened on several occasions over the last 7 years. I had been taking narcotic-based meds in the years prior, and never have I had such symptoms of withdrawal as I have had with Ultram. These include inability to mentate, bodyaches, jitteriness, and basically feeling mentally and physically incapacitated. It has worked better for me than the other mild narcotics such as Darvocet, etc, and when I've asked numerous doctors in regards to addictiveness, they deny it being a problematic drug. Yikes! Still, on a scale of improving my pain it has worked wonders! | F | 37 | 7 years | 6/13/2003 | 5 | post surgical pain | just a bit sleepy | very effective when I needed somthing stonger | F | 48 | 2 days | 2/18/2003 | 3 | fibromyalgiz | F | 57 | | 2/1/2003 | 4 | | 1/23/2003 | 5 | back/neck pain | M | 63 | 5 days | 1/18/2003 | 4 | back pain | sleeplessness; irritability | M | 43 | 3 years | 1/8/2003 | 1 | back spasms and pain | IMMEDIATELY I went into anaphalactic shock..... within 15 minutes of taking it. Cold sweats, turned white as a ghost, stomach pain, cramps, dizziness and almost fainted. Rushed to the doctors office and put on oxygen and given a shot of adrenaline I think. Horrible!!!!! While sitting in the doctors office, 3 other people had the same reaction. amazing.. | Add this to my list of allergic to meds. | F | 53 | 1 days | 12/10/2002 | 4 | chronic back pain | onset itching which went away, dry mouth | I chose this drug over narcotics because I didn't want to walk around doped all day, it works quickly but it only takes the edge off of my pain. Uncomfortable withdrawl symptoms, don't want to run out and go cold turkey, need to taper off of the drug. | F | 35 | 10 months | 11/29/2002 | 4 | chronic pain | SLIGHT itching. SLIGHT Nausea. | Aprroximately as effective a codeine, but doesn't produce the mental "cloudiness" nor constipation that codeine does. | 6 months | 11/21/2002 |
