I hate this ultram with passion..my hubby is so addicted to it and can't get away from it.. and he has had 13 grand mal seizures from this drug.. Its horrible..and I hope to god it gets taken off the market.. It is a very addicting narcotic...

Additional Thoughts
the way this drug works..is when you start tqaking them..the next day you hurt even more so you take more and more of this meds until you start have really horrible seizures wondering if your spouse will make it.. Oh its the worst thing ever seeing your hubby look dead on the floor from a seizure. Please try something else..this is the worst drug ever.

nothing but good ones

Additional Thoughts
Since being on Ultram I have felt like a healthy regular person. I have increased energy and I have very limited pain if none at all. I have taken Ultram for many years now, and my doctor has informed me tonight that he wants me to get off of it. Why? I wish he would leave me alone. With him prescribing it I don't have to pay for it. Now I wonder about the online tramadol/Ultram I can order. Is it the same thing? P.S. You would never know that I was diagnosed with MS by looking at me.

Reason: MY husband was taking Ultram for chronic knee pain Date: 18 March 2008
Side Effects
My husband was taking it for chronic knee pain. He said it really helped control his knee pain. It also took away other little aches and pains

Additional Thoughts
My husband started taking Ultram about 3 years ago after having knee surgery. For the last year, I knew he was taking more than he was in the beginning. It was so easy to order online and could be here the very next day. Well, this past Saturday, my husband suffered a Grand Mal Seizure. Our 3 children and myself saw this happen. He stopped breathing and I adminstered rescue breathing. He was taken to the hospital via ambulance and was admitted for observation. He was told this was due to Ultram and that he should never take another one again. I ask the doctor would there be withdrawel symptoms and he said \"NO\" He would crave them but no actual withdrawel symptoms. My husband has not slept in three nights. When he lays down his whole body jerks and twitches. He cannot get comfortable. He is so totally not himself and it kills me to see him like this. I\'m afraid of what the next weeks hold. This is all because the doctor that first prescribed this and 2 other doctors that he had asked about Ultram all told him this was non-habit forming. I just want everyone to have this knowledge. Seeing my husband, whom I love so much, convulse from a seizure, stop breathing, and turning so gray that he looked dead, was the worst day of my life. Please do not use this drug for a long period of time. It is habit forming, it is dangerouse!!!!"

Elevated mood swing (like drinking 3 Red Bulls)Little itchy feeling, dont take at night! It will keep you awake.

Additional Thoughts
I find the ULTRACET works better then the ULTRAM. The ULTRACET has 37.5 mgs of ultram and 325 mgs of tylenol. A very effective combination. I only take it 1 or 2 days a week and have no side effects. Love this medicine! It's better then getting addicted to narcotics.

Side Effects
SEVER WITHDRAWAL if I don't take every day even if I don't want to. Mood elevation, energy, euphoria, relieved symptoms of depression, vomiting if too much taken, sometimes sleepiness, difficulty achieving orgasm and if it is achieved it's not fulfilling. Have to have sex before first dose of day. Strong desire to smoke. Only smoke cigarettes after pm dose.

Additional 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.
