Avatar m tn ) And find something else for your knee. Ultram is NOT a good pain killer. Good luck!
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.
176495 tn?1301280412 Please be careful with ultram - I have been on it for back pain for 2 years now. My doc is anything opiate based , so was given this as a non addictive alternative. Well it gets rid of my back pain - but for me it is addictive. While it doesn't give me the high, or rush I get from oxy, it does give me a nice warm feeling of well being. If I am not in a lot of pain - the feeling is a bit more intense.
449842 tn?1214362266 The first guy nicked my Dura and you dont do that. The 2nd sewed it up but I think that is what made me a candidate for a morphine pump. With no insurance now that isnt going to happen. I have some Clonidine which is supposed to help with withdrawals but I have taken it B4 and didnt do much. I read what the others above are saying, Tramadol is mysterious, can be worse, screws with Serotonin, you name it, bad drug. How about Methadone?
Avatar n tn I had lost sensation to my right leg, as well as control of my bladder and bowel (equina caudina is what term they used.) I went into the ER and from there into emergency surgery to repair what was causing the paralysis, a rather large fragment from the L5 compressing vital nerves in the spine. After the surgery, the pain lifted but it took many months for partial recovery of the leg, and to develop the muscles to control the bladder and bowel.
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.
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 Toradol....I believe is another name for Tramadol/Ultram. If you look up Ultram it comes up under many different names. I could be wrong...but i remember seeing this on wikipedia or some other site.
392042 tn?1200844860 go to the er and be honest...ur life is not worth it...can u taper down each day for a little while and stop the ultram eventually but slowly...
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 f tn The only medication they sent her home with was Librium and Ultram for pain. The Librium is supposed to help with tremors and other side effects that come with quitting alcohol. I just hope today we can get some help.
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???
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
Avatar f tn My Doctor suggested Ultram or tramadol as a new scrip for me for my kidney pain. I have stones. I do not konow what these drugs are and I really dont want to go the narcotic route, as I have had addiction problems. Are these highly addictive and narcotic?
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 m tn you are probably thinking about phenergan for nausea. i have withdrawn from ultram also and it is pure hell. the doctors think that is not addictive but they are completely wrong!!
Avatar f tn Hi Pajo, I'm so sorry you are feeling bad. Try to hang in there and know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. When is your next appt? They should be able to give you a proper taper schedule to help minimize your withdrawals. I'm a little confused about the Ultram. Is this the first time you've taken this? It's Ultram ER, and they are telling you to take 1/2 pill at a time? In addition to the Oxy?
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 .
Avatar f tn Yes I'm on Suboxone. I don't know how it works for Ultram though. You would still have to taper off the Sub. It is addictive also. Did your doctor say if he wanted you to be on it short or long term ?
