| 4 | Fibromyalgia Pain Control | No side effect for me at all. | The only bad thing is that I am about to be moved up to a much stronger drug for pain management because it no longer does the job. But if you are in need of pain relief and haven't had Fibromyalgia for 20 years like I have when no one had ever head of this sydrome and those who had wasn't for sure it was for real. It will take the edge off but be aware.....nothing will take away all the pain ever in my experience and I have been on so many different medication over the years and up to 8 at one time. I have cut back on almost everything and try my best to live each day dealing with the pain but it does get very depressing but I elected not to stay on anti-depressant for long periods. WARNING: DO NOT allow any doctor to put you on any BENZOS (klonopin, ativan, xanax, valium, etc) these are diabolical drugs and I learned the hard way what they do to you and how dependent your brain become on them and how long it takes to recover. I feel like they stole 10 years of my life and didn't realize I had changed so much. Google Benzo withdrawal and go to you tube and you will never do allow a doctor to put you own these. When I was given BENZOs was prior to the internet so the info was not available but the doctors knew back then how bad these drugs were because they have been around since the 1950's and 60's. They lie. Don't lose your life to the Benzos. If you need help with Benzo withdrawal you may email me and I will support you. | F | 47 | 8 years 100 mg 3X day | 9/7/2012 | 5 | Back pain, fibromyalgia | None | This has been a miracle drug for me. I usually get horrible side effects, but it's helped me so much without any problems at all, even at such a low dose. | F | 44 | 30 days 50-100 mgs 1X day | 8/17/2012 | 5 | i feel like i can tolerate life better after taking ultram. i need it the first thing in the morning and i am happy that it lasts longer than norco. ultram will save my marriage | M | 35 | 6 years 150 | 7/4/2012 | 5 | Back injury | Euphoria, happy, calm, high and feeling light and good | Think of it, the doctor I visited actually who introduced me this drug actually wanted me to feel good, I remember him telling me,"let me prescribe you with a very good pain killer" and that's it, I am quite addicted to it now. It makes me high and calm, feel good and got the "fly" feeling... now I know how they derive the name "Dr Evil" | M | 38 | 1X day | 5/23/2012 | 4 | Shoulder and neck pain | Does help with pain, I tried Vicodin before this and feel this is more effective for pain. This does make me dizzy about 3 hours after taking,and I really can't sleep until it has worn off which is very frustrating, Vicodin does the same thing...wish Darvocet was still on the market. | F | 45 | 7 days 50 mg | 5/16/2012 | 3 | Moderate back pain | Increased energy, lower libido | I would only recommend this medicine for short term use. I am addicted to this Ultram. I have taken it on and off for at least ten years. I quit taking this medicine about 3 years ago but started again last year for pain but mostly for the good feeling that I get when taking this. I am stopping today and know the withdrawal period will be awful. My whole body will feel heavy, and I will be extremely tired for at least a week. This drug changes your perception of things and should be more closely monitored. | F | 43 | 10 years 50 mg 2X day | 5/6/2012 | 4 | back pain | Does help with pain but it is horrible to come off of. Feels like shocks of electricity if I miss a day | M | 33 | 4 years 50 mg | 4/22/2012 | 4 | fibromyalgia | nausea if you take w empty stomach, | F | 33 | 2 years 300 mg | 4/12/2012 | 1 | Test Subject | I cut a 50 mg pill in half to be on the safe side to try this drug. In 15 minutes I felt like I was going to throw up and my stomach felt like it had a severe case of acid indigestion. There was at least one hour were I was writhing in bad pain then another hour before I could get off the couch and report this. It is 2 hrs & 9 minutes and I can't tell a thing other than being dead sick during the time mentioned. | Severely sick then nothing. This stuff is good 4 NOTHING! | M | 41 | 1 days 25 MG 1X day | 4/6/2012 | 4 | severe pain from endometriosis | constipation, drowsiness/dreaminess, withdrawals (diarrhea and general crappy feeling) if taken continuously for more than 24 hours. | I only take this drug WHEN I ABSOLUTELY NEEDED IT, and IN ADDITION TO a non-narcotic anti-inflammatory. I recommend it for occasional severe pain, since it is habit forming and you can quickly build up a tolerance for it, and withdrawal symptoms are inevitable if you take more than a few doses in a row. When taken as I do, though, it is effective at making the worst pain of endometriosis more bearable. If I take it continuously, though, my body doesn't get a chance to re-regulate my digestive system and the constipation/diarrhea from withdrawal makes everything worse. Like most drugs it depends on the person, and it depends on how you use it. | F | 26 | 3 months 50 1X day | 2/22/2012 | 2 | Removed wisdom tooth & abscess. | Dizziness, Panic/Anxiety Attacks, Dilated Pupils, Shallow Breathing, Extreme Drowsiness, Inability to fall asleep, Trouble Urinating. | The first night I took this pill (8pm), it worked for a couple of hours and then the pain came back shortly after. I popped an extra one (12am or so) and I was unable to stay asleep. I'd wake up every hour on the hour, but I was able to fall right back asleep (unless I had to pee, which took forever to do). Finally, the next morning I popped another one (8am). By Noon, I was experiencing the signs of an overdose and ran back to the hospital. | M | 22 | 2 days 50 MG 1X day | 2/22/2012 | 1 | for pain | I also take Effexor so my doctor decreaed the effexor. I was good until the fourth week. The sweating was, terrible, my hair was wet in the afternoon, it didn't help my pain, and it made me really anxious at 200mg a day. I went back to 100mg a day, and a little less Effexor and I have been fine. The one benifit is the little bit of antidepressent in the med, so my mood improoved, so I don't want to stop it . | M | 50 | 40 days 100mg 2X day | 2/21/2012 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | The first dose or two made me tired so I only took it at night initially. Now I am able to take it during the day. It relieves my pain and elevates my mood and increases my energy level. Some dry mouth, slight loss of appetite, and mild itching when I take it before bed. No bad side effects at all and no sense of being addicted. | It is short acting so although it helps the pain when going to bed I do wake up with pain. Some days I may take just one or none at all. No withdrawal of any kind. | F | 55 | 2 months 50 mg 2X day | 2/17/2012 | 5 | severe arthritis | Drowsiness, must take with food or milk. | F | 49 | 8 years 50mg 6X day | 2/16/2012 | 1 | Pain relief after c-section | Dizziness, disorientation, nausea, anxiety, slow heartbeat, shortness of breath, muscle twitches, insomnia, sweating | Genius drug to prescribe to a new mother- NOT! I wish I'd found this site before I just took my last dose of Ultram/Tramadol half an hour ago. I was given Tramadol four times a day at 40mg starting the day after my caesarean section for routine pain relief. Initially I was happy that it worked to control the pain, and I was okay with the fact that I was also feeling extremely dizzy- I thought it might have been due to the operation that I couldn't walk ten steps without having to grab at a wall for support. After four days of increasing dizziness and nausea, I took a dose later than usual (after midnight), and for the first time I noticed that my pulse had dropped to around 50 beats per minute. I was trying to sleep while my new baby was sleeping, but I began to get the awful sense that my breaths were way too far apart as I was dozing off- like I was going to pass out rather than go to sleep. The breaths I could catch felt too shallow to do much. I lay there in an anxious sweat for a couple of hours before calling the nurse, who told me that panic/ anxiety attacks were a common side effect of Tramadol, an that's probably what I was feeling. Definitely true to an extent- my calf muscles were twitching in a really strange way, and in the end I was awake the entire night feeling paranoid about DVT. Anyway! At that point she told me to take only one tablet next time, but I didn't take any for a couple of days. My dizziness continued just as strongly the whole time, to the point | F | 30 | 4 days 20-40 4X day | 2/13/2012 | 1 | back pain | Itching | I have taken this drug ONE time and have done nothing but ITCH! It is miserable. I itch so bad I can't even sleep. | F | 26 | 1 days 30mg 2X day | 2/9/2012 | 1 | back pain | scene of awareness was lost, body aches, muscle cramping, and withdrawal when missing a dose. Also very very bad withdrawal when coming off of them. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION!!!! | F | 20 | 2 years 50mg | 2/7/2012 | 4 | Chronic Foot/Ankle Pain | Headache, Inability to fall asleep when taken at night, Sleepiness when taken during the day. | F | 20 | 1 years 150 MG | 2/1/2012 | 1 | Abscessed tonsil | Severe headache, nausea, dizziness. Confused/foggy feelings. Leg cramps. | F | 27 | 1 days | 1/31/2012 | 1 | Kidney stones | WORST headache of my life. Will NEVER take again !! | F | 20 | 1 days | 1/29/2012 |
