Avatar f tn I am currently waiting for disc replacement surgery on my neck at C2-C4 levels, I am fused from C4-T1 already and I also need a disc replacement in the low back. I am taking methadone 5 mg tablets 3 times per day and Ultram 100 mg in the morning, 50 mg in the afternoon and 100 mg extended release in the evening. The reason for the mixed up dosage on the ultram is I am trying to get off of the extended release due to the cost.
Avatar f tn If you can talk to your doctor before taking this medicine...espically the er ultram....It is highly addictive and despite what people say it is hard to get off of.
Avatar f tn Her husband was addicted to oxycontin and the doctor knows this so this is the only pain medication he will prescribe her because it is not on the same level as the opiate pain killers that so many become addicted to and to not have anything stronger in the house with a former pain pill addict. So I wouldn't worry to much about it...it's not anything near what the other opiate pain pills are capable of.
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 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 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 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.
176495 tn?1301280412 I am new to this forum and also know nothing about Ultram except what I have read here and it is not good at all. I think, I am not sure but two people here, avisg and malenurse, I think ultram or tramadol is what they had to withdraw from and it was very hard and painful so be careful and maybe even ask one of them about it.
Avatar f tn Been on Vicodin( for the daily severe pain) but now they want to put me on Ultram because Vicoding is a narcotic-addicting. Isnt Ultram/Tramadol addicting also?? I read the side effects and they scare me. Can anyone tell me if they have used Ultram and what was the outcome?
Avatar f tn My question is, I wanted to know how much ultram of the 100mg er I would need to take to keep up with the norco I was taking. Or if it even is comparible to the norco......
Avatar m tn The is whats is in ultraest.Tramadol is the generic form of ultram . Then there is the ER that is extended realse .
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 ve GOT to have something for pain! My doc prescribed Ultram ER for me. I know what to expect from the vicodin withdrawals but I have no idea what to expect from ultram. Im not sure that I even want to try it (depending on the responses that I get here). I don't want to put myself through anything worse than the vicodin withdrawals but as I said, Ive got to have a pain med... Im also currently on Lyrica (about 3 weeks now) and so far, its done NOTHING for my pain. What should I do???
1435895 tn?1304291241 Pamelor is Nortriptyline right? I really could tell it was helping when I was on a titrated dosage and when I got to 35mgs at bedtime is when I had a major reaction. Throat closing up and all that... and yes one more trip to the er!! Seems the things that may help I cant take for one reason or another.
Avatar f tn So, I took my first dose of Suboxone yesterday, and my last dose of Ultram was about 550mgs, 12 hours before that. I had no idea how the Suboxone would make me feel, since Ultram is not a "complete" opioid. Well, here is what I have pieced together so far. Ultram is a triple threat, meaning that parts of it act on the mu opiate receptor, part of it is an SSRI, and it is ALSO an SNRI, which means it produces Serotonin AND Norepinephrine.
Avatar f tn I HAVE READ THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE HERE ARE CUTTING DOWN OR TRYING TO GET OFF THE PAIN MEDICATION........ WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR ALL THE PAIN THAT YOU WERE IN? I DONT LIKE TAKING PAIN PILLS EITHER BUT AS LONG AS MY PAIN IS AS BAD AS IT IS , WELL I'LL BE ON PAIN MEDICATION THE REST OF MY LIFE AS LONG AS THE DOCTOR GIVES IT TO ME. I REALLY DONT WANT TO BE BUT I WILL.... AS LONG AS THE PAIN IS THERE. JUST WONDERING... CAUSE IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I DONT KNOW ABOUT .. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW!
