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 Let me explain better.....he was weening me off of Ultram and I was doing really, really well but my insurance would not pay for as many Ultram as I needed. So, He didn't want me going c/t so he wanted to give me something that was like Ultram to replace it. He told me that the MS ER was the same "kind" of med as Ultram. He said that it is the "sister" to Ultram. Right now I'm on the next to LOWEST dose there is so it is a very, very low dose.
Avatar m tn I do not need to get a buzz from the meds. So I have these Ultram ER - extended release @ 100 mg; one pill per day. Has anyone used these before and what about them? BTW - I have cut down on travel considerably but this has been going on and off since April and surgery in June...I have to work.
Avatar m tn was doing some reading and it seems the dol hcl is like the hydrocodone and the regular dol is like ultram--- however the ultram er is totally different than the regular ultram??? anyone know the diff on these nightmares??
783281 tn?1259691431 Using a Fentanyl patch 50mcg/hr for a year or so.......My back is giving me problems and I am wondering about a script my doc gave me for Ultram ER....He says this is not an opiate but I have read a lot about Ultram on here....not seen that much about the "extended release." Any info would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to go down that road if it will lead to disaster (again).

Avatar f tn NOW, THERE IS A PILL CALLED ULTRAM ER ,,,,, IT IS LIKE OXY BECAUSE IT HAS THAT TIME RELEASED COATING OVER IT. COULD SOMEONE TAKE OFF THE COATING (LIKE THEY DO WITH OXY), CRUSH IT UP AND SNORT IT AND GET HIGH? I ASK BECAUSE IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THOSE TWO PILLS DONT HAVE OPIATES IN THEM SO COULD U GET HIGH? BOYFRIEND GOT SOME OF THOSE AND I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT THAT????
Avatar f tn So I went in for my appointment today and it felt really good to have all my questions and concerns written down so I didn't forget any of my questions. He ended up prescribing me zanaflex for my muscle pain (was on robaxin, but it didn't work well) and Ultram ER for daily pain. I know a lot of other people on here take Ultram, but I have never taken it, so it should be interesting to see if it helps me.
Avatar f tn He was horrified had mo clue this drug was so toxic On a small taper w Xanax to keep bp down I know one drug for another but it just makes me sleepy not speedy like ultram with the er dr and my pcp I was getting the best of both worlds pain control from herniated disks and happiness that the ultram gives u I was at a point that 30 a day was making me lethargic and wasn't doing whatbit used to I have had a history of depression some shrinks said bipolar I was self medicating with this crap in
449842 tn?1214362266 I have been abusing vicodin for a year now, my worst point I was taking 25 10/1000 mg daily, my lowest point is now, taking 5-6 10/1000 mg daily. I do feel withdrawal syptoms, which for me makes it the hardest to stop my use of Vicodin... The WORST withdrawal symptom is the ICHY-SCRATCHY bone chilling constant feeling, I can't stay still, it is HORRIBLE. I can handle the fatigue, the chills and sweats, but the crawling out of skin feeling is TORCHURE.
Avatar m tn I took ultram for over 6 years and quit cold turkey over 10 months ago (along with xanax) and the withdrawal was horrendous - worst experience of my life. The problem with ultram is that it contains the same components found in an anti-depressant (very similar to effexor) and that makes withdrawal that much worse.
Avatar m tn but he gave me adivan and a shot and gave me an ultram and norco..by their determination it was withdraw from my ultram that adivan is doing great. I wont take tnose again..
Avatar m tn But, I checked with our nurse and she asked how your are trying to d-tox from it? Tramadol and Ultram are the same drugs. They also have Ultram ER which is the extended released. It is a controlled substance. A lot of PM docs use this for patients to take all day long, every day. My employer and doc tried to put me on Ultram ER and I refused to take it. Good luck and if you need any suggestions for the d-tox, let me know and I will check.
Avatar m tn I was going so nuts I called my sis from 40 miles away to come help me at home I was losing it ( God give her soul her peace ) She came down but I had already jumped in my car and drove to the er by then. The er doc gave me that med they give for nausea and the nerves cant remember the name green capsule. Before I got home I was back on Oxycontin and here I am after switchin to Morphine. Sorry about telling my story lil at a time just the way I am. Will confess more later if I think of it.
Avatar f tn the mental takes a lil longer but with support you will get thru it.. do not be scared ok Take control of your life and kick this addiction to the curb.. You can do this You really can..
Avatar f tn You may not be out of the woods entirely. The ultram has a much longer half-life than your standard opiate so it's still in your system. But I do agree with the others, given the short amount of time you were on them, you'll probably only experience a few uncomfortable days. I am SO happy you realized this so early on and stopped. Tramadol is poison. Such a bad drug.
Avatar f tn The half-life of a drug is how long it takes for half of it to be eliminated from the bloodstream. Hope that helps.
6298176 tn?1380134459 It has a very long half life, though I can't give you specifics. The dose and how long you were on it does factor in. Your doctor should be able to help you with your questions on this.
Avatar f tn I AM NEW HERE AND I HAVE BEEN ADDICTED TO ULTRAM FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. BEFORE THIS I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH DRUGS.FOR THE PAST WEEK I HAVE BEEN GETTING OF THE PAIN AND SICKNESS IS UNBEARABLE.I AM AT MY BREAKING POINT AND I HAVE 3 KIDS THAT NEED ME.WHAT DO I DO HOW LONG DOES THIS LAST.I WAS TAKING 15-20 ULTRAM A DAY.
Avatar f tn The problem I have is that before when I was taking 100 mg Ultram ER twice a day with the methadone as listed above my pain was controled, but since I have tried going down on it I have pain all the time again. I was wondering if there was any other long acting medication out there that works simular to the Ultram ER?
Avatar f tn I have just been prescribed, Ultram ER, Did some searches and read on here, That it shouldn't be mixed with ADs that serratonin affected, I am on Effexor, The last few months I have had terrible sinus headaches and migraines. Appreciate any info on this!
606078 tn?1247264553 I plan on keeping my Zoloft, and I have to have my blood pressure meds and cholesterol meds. He has me taking Ultram ER, flexeril, Restoril, another muscle relaxer I have to take in the am, and I still hurt like he!!. I'll continue with my vitamins and supplements but I've had it with the rest. I've told him several times that the Ultram ER has stopped working, he wants to keep upping the dosage. I already take 400mg a day.
