Tramadol-Ultram is terrible

50mg, weaksauce..hahah.

I know somebody who took 950mg within a few hours whilst drinking alcohol.

Hes dead now, i ate him.

omg I'm certain I would die if I took 100mg.
I'm surprised he lived through it.

I was joking, i have had one of the 200mg slow release capsules before, made me tired.

I took that stuff for a few weeks all the while getting worse too, and perhaps also the "patch" for pain that was taken off the market, I can't remember the name, probably also brought me harm. Vicodin is not so great either. Mother nature provided us with medicines that are safe, they evolved with man here, and believe me, having learned the hard way, we should not even use man's laboratory pain relievers or any other drugs created in the lab. Do not use the drugs for diabetes either.

Darvon has been taken off the market, another pain reliever I used many years ago. Do not use anything not of the Mother. I had terrible problems also with the NSAIDS that are NOT of nature.

yeah right, what was I thinking 950 mgs would kill a horse.
I guess I'm just in that severe side effects group.

I just took 3 tramadol. They don't do much for me. Percoset makes me sick. I hate it. Fortunately, the chemo has been working for me. So I haven't had to take much of anything.

run from that stuff.....
sucky synthetic shit No benefits, just big Pharma BS

I was on tramadol for a few months and never got any painrelief to speak of. Lots of cramps and itches thow. Now on Dulaudid, it's synthetic but much more affective.I have to take fenegrin or fenerin(not sure of the name ) to combat the vomiting it causes thow.

if your on an opiate an take tramadol it will send you into withdrawl,make sure you aint taken codeiene or any opiate if you take tramadol. and yes they are last i sacked them on day one same reason

tramadol hydrochloride and grapefruit juice!!

liver does not breakdown tramadol until it has finished with the grapefruit. allowing the blood level of tramadol to increse.

have fun but be careful!

thats the problem

I have access to various UK medical journals and (reading them now...) Tramadol isn't exactly top choice for prescribing Physicians any more.

Get off it if you can mate.

Try some Pethidine ....

Im trying to remember if Ive ever been prescribed Tramadol. If it's what Im remembering, I slept for 20 hours, and woke up feeling like a zombie...I threw the rest of it in the trash.

Im on Gabapentin for my phantom pains, but really it just keeps the pain at a liveable level. I add a pill or two if the pain gets bad, but luckily that doesn't happen too often.

Hate morphine too. I am extremely depressed on it. The only good that came of it was that it helped me forget some really awful pain, in spurts anyway. I actually got better once they got me off that crap.

Also, hydrocodone is some evil shit. It works, at first. Then you need more and more for the same effects..like most pain drugs..The withdrawals are just awful. Prepare for sleep, sweating, depression,no sleep, ...

yeah, I actually meant to say in lieu of real narcotics

I'll have to look at some natural alternatives. My kidneys have several stones in them. The pain makes me dizzy.

Ahh, I'm sorry. I feel like a dweeb for talking about pain relief from kidney stones.
Wishing you the best.

you know that's funny, cause it seemed synthetic narcotics are the first choice, (talking with a nurse at the er) due to problems w/addiction and all that. Yet tramadol can be just as addictive.
luckily I'm not addicted. I was worried maybe it was due to Pharma kickbacks or something. But this drug isn't really new.

I could do with some of those.

Do Doctor get rewarded by the pharmaceutical companies for pushing certain drugs?


I'm thinkin' yeah, they do.

Tramadol-Ultram sounds like a planet I have been to, near beta Pisces. Nice place, not terrible at all.

hydrocodone makes me crazy nauseous, dr prescribed me tylenol 3, same problem....so then he tried me on tramadol..at first it worked really well, but now it too makes me effin' nauseous, and i'm starting to have trouble with my memory....*sigh* oh well...i reckon i'm destine to a life of pain...

Codeine gives me terrible migraine headaches, nausea and vomiting.

I told the doctor this, next thing I know he's written me a presciption for 90 of the damn things.

WTF.

I told him I'd rather beat myself to death with a rock.

He just blinked at me.

I repeat, WTF.

Speed + Opiates = Heaven on Earth <3

What a waste.

Get hooked on smack then call me.

Your either old or you have 0 tolerance if any of the drugs mentioned in this thread is giving you problems.

Oxy should be the only prescribed opiate that should give you any real trouble.

Or your 70's drug use killed your liver by now.

I live a life where I have out lived my usefullness. I am married and have three kids, one grown and just married and two still 11 and 12 to raise. I got my neck broken on a oil rig years ago and have had surgery's on it three times. I Have have had the worst pain and headache for a love time, to the point I am sick of it. I see a pain doctor and I now take 5 methadone and 7-10 loratab 10Mg a day. I was just told my liver is starting to show signs of trouble. I am in a bad place, I hurt so bad and need the meds but at the same time they are killing me. I didn't start out on so much but as the years go by it takes more and more to get the same kind of help from it.

All opiates are converted to morphine in your liver btw.

I am sorry you are going through this. I was on 50 mg for 4 years. I didn't really realize it was causing issues. The first couple years I didn't notice much. It would help my back pain somewhat but then give me headaches, like you I would take a few more. I was prescribed to take 6 a day and would sometimes take 8 or even 10. I know it was stupid but I became addicted to them. The last year I was taking them I couldn't breath. I couldn't sleep because I couldn't breath while lying down. I quit them about a year and a half ago and it took about 6 months or so for all the effects to go away. I wish you luck and hope you break free form this crappy drug.
