User Reviews for Ultram ER oral

this stuff is the best have a bad hip and cant go with out it. The problem is I think it will be very tough to get off of.

it speeds me up

Only took for 30 days and then stopped. Expensive and couldn't renew. Wasn't advised to gradually stop. Withdrawal-restlessness, inability to sleep, out of sorts and Diaharrea have been horrible.

Had all the usual side effects for the first 3-5 days. But hung in there with it and glad I did. Pain is managable and I'm able to "live" again. ALWAYS take at night and at the same time!!!!

took 300mg recreationally, Caused 2 week psychosis & seizure. may have caused serotonin syndrome. I also take (prescribed) effexor xr, mirtazapine & 10mgs of Zyprexa (olanzapine). DO NOT ABUSE THIS MOFO DRUG I HATE IT!!

This is a great drug to use to get off of narcotic pain killers once the pain has begun to subside. I found 200 mg needed for any real impact and I take another 200 late in the pm to help with night activities. There is some itching but not bad. Regarding stomach, it depends what you eat. If you eat rich or gasey foods it does not work but basic fiber and fruit etc tend to make things tolerable. Experiment with diet. I have found that the effect wears off with time BUT there is still an impact and much fewer side effects than with narcotic pain killers etc. A good drug overall. Start with 50 going to 100 a week later and 200 a week after than and you will not notice the side effects. At lease for me. Good luck to all.Read More Read Less

I use this for chronic pain, but works wonders during that time of the month. It actually cuts down on pms symptoms. Works great!!!!!!!!

I am going to get off this drug because the side effects have been too much for me. It does however,lessen my pain. I have been having hot flashes,itchy skin, constipation,frequent flushing,dry mouth,feeling cranky,and hair loss.

i have been on this drug for almost 8 years . it has worked great for me, at first i was taking 2 50 mg but just changed to 100mg once a day. other then control my pain it has changed my emotional state. i use to worry alot and could not turn it off. since being on this drug i am able to think clearly, i know longer yell at my kids (who are grown now) i do worry about addiction so i have times reduced it down to 50 mg twice a day or once a day so can you be addicted to a drug and reduce your use??Read More Read Less

Just went back to Ultram from Suboxone for Fibromyalgia. Got a full night sleep for first time in a looooong time. No side effects that are bad enough to outweigh the benefit of pain management. Love it!

Having the sweats, increases anxiety, itching of the skin

I have many of the side effects from ultram er 300mg. I have anxiety,flushing,and constipation. The lessening of my pain however far outweighs the side effects for me. I was an 7-8 everyday and now I'm at a 4-5..which is huge for me.

Have not been on this medication long enough to rate satisfaction. It is extremely expensive. Don't know if I will continue after taking the 8 doses my dr. recommended.

I fractured 3 ribs and couldn't do anything without excrutiating pain. This med killed the pain so I could function and could sleep thru the night while I healed. My only complaint was after 30 days on it, an abrupt stop to the medication when I finished the prescription did result in withdrawal symptoms: chills, sweats, and slight tremors that lasted for about 4 days. Not horrible, but noticeable. People should be weaned off it.

serious allergic reaction after taking for 2 months. Swelling face, throat, rash, itching, difficulty breathing,

I have dealt with back pain, both upper and lower for many years. I take the epidural treatments, which help. Nothing seems to stop it completly. I have no side effects, but was disappointed that my experience isn't as glowing as other reports. However, my doseage is lower and thanks to all the comment, fully intend to ask my doctor for a higher dose. Thank you all for your time!

I have severe leg pain & am getting a hip replacement in the near future. The first time I took Ultram ER 100,it was 5pm - I didn't get pain relief until 8am. It took my pain completely away but I felt sleepy. For me, taking one every other day works fine. for me. Also, an added benefit for me is that it took my lowered my appetite, especially for sweets. I have dropped a dress size.

I have been told this drug may be the cause of my sezures. I have stopped taking it.
