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.
176495 tn?1301280412 Ultrams are a big no no. Even on their site it says to not use if prone to opiate addiction. There are a bear to get off of. So you are right to be cautious. Sorry about the back pain.
Avatar m tn is anyone switching ultram tramadol for pain management, How does itseem to be working fro you?
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 f tn I have a unique story to tell how I got into my current job or what drove me while being a bio and science major. My father got cancer when I was 4 years old from -- osteosarcoma. I watched him stay in bed when I was a little girl. He layed in bed for 1 ½ year after got his leg amputated. He was in a bad pain. Pain meds were not as advanced back in the late 70’s as they are today. I remember my mother counting the hours to give him his next 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 n tn 3x a day). Can I take both together safely? I wondered so for the past 2 days I haven't taken my lexapro. I am experiencing extreme sensitivity to sounds and lights, irritation and brain zaps as a previous posting described. What is the most sensible approach to managing the back pain with my depression medicine?
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 Is Ultram ever used for a person to quit using alcohol? Can it be addictive too like alcohol if misused? Can it interact with Cymbaltal, the anitdepressant?
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 I knew this was coming since darvocet was pulled by the FDA, now the drs. are going to start prescribing ultracet/ultram/tramadol alot more. I made sure to tell my friend to pass the word on that this drug was hardly new and definately wasn't a "new darvocet." Also, my mom is seeing a pain management dr. so she can get epidural steroid injections soon. She had told her dr.
Avatar f tn Help!!! I have been taking Ultram for 6 months. I gradually had to take more and more for it to work. I am up to about 18 50mg pills a day. I tried quiting cold turkey once and ended up in the ER with severe pain, headache, nausea, chills, creepy crawlies...it was like torture!!!! I want off soooooo bad. I have small children, a full time job and can not go into a treatment facility. I just started to ween myself off but I know nothing about doing it!
376940 tn?1241682007 I was going to give you the reason for the Pharmacist's warning, but as I kept reading the posts, I see you've been given more than enough information. I'll just add my own experience. I have taken Effexor ER for years now, as my SSRI of choice. I also took it with Ultram. The pharmacist is obligated to print out an interaction sheet any time a RX is given that has the potential for interaction. And it should be paid attention to.
Avatar f tn I am currently on ultram for fibro,has anyone elso tried this med? It seems to give me energy at first but then it makes me very sleepy when it starts coming out of my system. Anybody else have that happen to them.
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 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.
392042 tn?1200844860 i am getting scared. now how can i go to the ER and tell them i took.. 200 mg ultram and 200 mg darvocet.. and a tizantidine... of which only the ultram i have a perscription for. i know i should go. becuase its not going away... has anyone of you had shaking like this with ultrams?? i am hoping its not the ultrams..
Avatar n tn There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. ULTRAM ER should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Neonatal seizures, neonatal withdrawal syndrome, fetal death and still birth have been reported during post-marketing reports with tramadol HCl immediate-release products. Labor and Delivery ULTRAM ER should not be used in pregnant women prior to or during labor unless the potential benefits outweigh the risks.
Avatar n tn Her psyciatric doctor and the local doctors keep prescribing more ultram and she keeps abusing the doses to the system failure level. We live in Norwalk Ohio could someone tell me of a center for addiction the is near here. We are about 65 miles west of Cleveland.
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 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!
1445110 tn?1388209711 I recently was prescribed Opana ER was on methadone for two months and Norco for breakthrough pain. I had trouble tolerating the methadone. It made me feel horrible, couldnt function and didnt really help my back and hip pain. I am chicken to take the Opana. I need to get started on it and try it but I am so afraid of stronger pain meds. Anyone familiar with it and did it help with the pain without sedating you too much?
