Avatar n tn If I taper slowly off of tramadol, can I avoid withdrawal symptoms all together? Or will I feel withdrawal pains no matter what?
Avatar f tn I found this on Wiki and it does say it is and opiod and also says this - Tramadol is associated with the development of physical dependence and a severe withdrawal syndrome.[59] Tramadol causes typical opiate-like withdrawal symptoms as well as atypical withdrawal symptoms including seizures. The atypical withdrawal symptoms are probably related to tramadol's effect on serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am a 24 year old registered nurse, and I have read all of these postings and researched tramadol, and have realized that I am addicted to it. I have recently been experiencing dizziness, a feeling like I'm coming out of my skin, diarrhea and nausea. I never would have believed it was tramadol withdrawal. I just took my normal dose of it, and my symptoms are gone, I'm taking that as a big sign of addiction.
Avatar f tn A few months ago I had to get some serious dental work done and I explained to my dentist that I could not take narcotics and so he prescribed me Ultram. To make a long story short, the withdrawal symptoms that I feel when I am out of Ultram are far worse than I felt with Lortab, Percocet, etc. I tried suboxone for these withdrawals and felt completly wiped out and dizzy. I thought Ultram was safe and non-addictive. Apparently I thought wrong.
Avatar n tn ULTRAM is associated with craving and tolerance development. Withdrawal symptoms may occur if ULTRAM is discontinued abruptly. These symptoms may include: anxiety, sweating, insomnia, rigors, pain, nausea, tremors, diarrhea, upper respiratory symptoms, piloerection, and rarely hallucinations. Other symptoms that have been seen less frequently with ULTRAM discontinuation include: panic attacks, severe anxiety, and paresthesias.
Avatar f tn I have taken Ultram (tramadol) on and off for 10 years. When I have gotten off the Percocets, Ultram stopped all withdrawal symptoms. Problem is, when you stop taking Ultram, you will go into the same withdrawal symptoms. I know what you mean about everyone on this site saying Ultram is so terrible but I have never had any problem whatsoever. The good thing about taking Ultram in place of the Percocets is you don't crave taking them so you take less.

Avatar m tn What's the difference between Ultram ER and Tramadol? I've been taking/abusing Ultram ER 200mg. To get off these things my Dr switched me to Tramadol 50mg. 1-2 4 times daily w/2 extra strength Tylenol. I'm feeling lethargic. I slept fine but I'm just tired and I'm jumpy. For those who have not read my journal this all started after being struck by lighting in June. I'm assuming what I'm felling is a difference between Ultram and Tramadol.

Avatar f tn Lona11 Member since Jun 2008 , Jun 30, 2008 08:27PM As someone else on here said, I use Ultram (tramadol) when I don't have percocet to avoid the withdrawal. When I take the Ultram, I won't have any withdrawal at all but if I didn't have any percocets or Ultram, I would go right into opiate withdrawal. The good part of the tramadol though is I don't crave them the way I want the Percocets.

471344 tn?1228755027 Tramadol (Ultram is the brand name) has very little data regarding usage during early pregnancy. Although animal models have shown some toxic effects, there is virtually no human data. The general class of pain medications that include tramadol do not have a high association with fetal defects. They can sometimes be associated with withdrawal symptoms in the newborn baby, although this is not common.

Avatar n tn Ultram (Tramadol) is going to do nothing but prolong your withdrawals. Tramadol, whether it's in Ultram, Ultracet, or Ultram ER, is a nasty drug to detox from. It has properties that make it almost like a benzo and an opiate combined into one little nasty pill. There's things to take that are not addictive that can help with withdrawal symptoms such as clonidine (Catapres) and hydroxyzine (Vistaril, Atarax). Please, steer clear of the Ultram.

Avatar n tn Yes, you may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms. The withdrawal is unusual with tramadol; some people have very uncomfortable symptoms, and others have none at all. Starting the Cymbalta may reduce your withdrawal to some extent, as Cymbalta is a serotonin (and norepinephrine) reuptake blocker, and some of the withdrawal from Tramadol comes from changes in serotonin activity. The withdrawal is not 'dangerous', so do your best to avoid concentrating on them.
Avatar f tn Hi and welcome to the forum! You'll find so much support here as others are sure to post soon. First,I'm so sorry to read of your diagnoses at your young age :( You must be so strong!! Happy you've stopped the lortabs but unfortunately you've traded one addiction for another by taking the tramadol. Looks like you take 12 a day. Is that right? Tramadol/Ultram is an addicting narcotic. I've not ever taken it (yes,there's one I've actually not taken!!!

484857 tn?1208588868 I discontinued a drug called "Ultram" (tramadol) about eight months ago. I did it gradual and with a doctor's support. Ultram is a serotonin reuptake inhibator, similar to anti-depressant medicines) and so the withdrawal symptoms can be similar even though it is used for pain relief. It is one of the most difficult drugs to get off of. The withdrawal is just horrendous but I now feel great except for the sleep troubles. It happens just as I am dropping off to sleep.
1649704 tn?1402778437 Oh yeah, tramadol. The stuff is POISON. Yes, it was my DOC for a long time (years) and getting off of it was the worst experience of my life. I also quit xanax on the same day - and omg the withdrawals were horrible. The other poster is right - there are chemical components in this drug similar to an anti-depressant (very similar to effexor the hard ad to come off of) and that makes the withdrawal all the more difficult.
