Thoughts
Ultram no longer relieves my severe headaches, but works for other pain I used to take OTC painkillers. I am mentally and physically addicted and I hate myself for it. I take two 50mg tabs in the morning combined with my coffee, gives me a buzz for several hours. I start withdrawing by the afternoon and feeling sleepy, irritable and useless till pm dose of six 50 mg tabs. I now take this only for the "high" and am an abuser. I hate myself and I'm scared to get off. Withdrawal symptoms are unbearable. Sometimes on weekends, I take six and the other two a couple hours later. Please be careful. My husband or friends don't understand how serious my problem is. I'm really hooked like a doper. I've overdosed just to get my high. I never though I could have this problem. This happens to other people but not me.
