#63301 - 02/14/04 10:24 PM Tramadol - Ultram
lemongrass lemongrass Board Addict Registered: 09/23/03 Posts: 363 Loc: IL	Does this stuff really work for people? I find it completely ineffective for my pain, which can be moderate to severe. To me, it's nothing more than Ibuprofen. Does seem to give me a bit of a headache though, which I don't understand. Thanks for any of your replies out there. lemongrass Edited by Melody (03/04/04 05:07 AM)

If someone offered me 20 Hydrocodone or 20 Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) but told me i cannot have both, i would choose the Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) because it works better

Given the type of pain and other individually mitigating factors such as physiology, tolerance, other medications being taken, etc. either has the potential to provide greater pain relief than the other in a given circumstance. Despite its relatively new existence in the U.S. market (10 years or so), it has been widely available in Europe as one of the preferred analgesics, even among the available opiates at the time. I certainly wouldn't discount its potential out of hand.

Thanks for any of your replies out there. lemongrass My doctor gave a presription for Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) HCL to me and the dose was 1 to 8 (50mg) tablets per day as needed for pain. Well, I took one about an hour before bed and noticed a mild headache that would not go away. It zonked me out. The next morning, I wake up and I am feeling disoriented, confused and I could not concentrate for 30 seconds. I was also having mild hallucinations. This lasted for about 4 hours. I called my doctor and told him I would never take that junk again. It seems some people do have bad reactions to this med. You won't know till you take it, so take the minimum dosage at first. If I had taken 2 tablets, I might have gone on a trip I was not expecting. By the way, it didn't do anything for my back pain.

gregR gregR Member Registered: 02/06/03 Posts: 107 Loc: Southern U.S.	I've noticed quite a few U.S. sites now selling Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars). Which is great for me. I happen to be one of the lucky few that this med helps. You really have to monitor your dossage. I had a horrific experience with Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars). I hadn't taken any for a few days and when my order came I took three 50's. (was in bad pain). Well these things hit me like never before. I felt disoriented and confused. Kinda like taking a mild hit of acid for those of you who participated way back when. Even though I felt like a walking zombie my pain had totally subsided. Just be very careful with this stuff. Don't take more than 400mg per day. Many people have had seizures. Which can be deadly. If you are a legitimate pain patient and have the right body chemistry you're in luck!!!!!!!

Hi, I've been taking Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) lately, but I'd like to stop. At first it was helping my pain (barely), and it gave me a little "boost" sort of like oxy's do, but then it started doing weird things like some of you are describing. Such as, headaches, "floating" feelings like my head wasn't connected to my shoulders, (yes, sort of like a mild acid trip, which I don't need at WORK), and sometimes nausea. I'm getting ready to register with NWW so I can get Hydro, which at least doesn't make me feel "disconnected" Have a pain free day!

Winter Winter Member Registered: 04/08/03 Posts: 124	When I 1st started taking Ultram in 1995 they helped me alot, in fact as another poster said I would have taken the Ultram over the hydro because they lasted so much longer. I have taken them off & on since 1995. And they just dont work that way for me anymore. I also didnt have TMJ pain in 1995 either I knew I had it but it wasnt hurting all the time like it does now. I believe on some types of pain like my neck pain they helped that, but not for my TMJ jaw pain. I think its time for me to take a break from them & maybe they will help again like they used to. I also think the US Ultram/Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) works better for me it seems stronger then the stuff overseas.

Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) seems to have strange effects on people. for me, it is close to perfect and has 0 side effects, then again i am extremely major depressed, so depressed that it must make me go from depressed to closer to normal, rather than from normal to strange side effects like others. no i dont get headaches, no nausea, no floating feelings, none of that. Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) has horrible withdrawl. It does a good job on my physical pain. and the doctor was right, it is a good alternative to full opioids for pain

twinsane1051 twinsane1051 Newbie Registered: 02/08/04 Posts: 43 Loc: Da' U.P.	Ultram never did anything for me. It was like taking an over the counter medication. My sister was prescribed them once after my short encounter with them, and she said if she took two, they would make her a little sleepy but that was it. For my level of back pain,in the past I've taken Vic Es or now the Norco 10/325. Good Luck finding some relief~ _________________________ Twincerely If I could walk on my hands, I'd have a big breasts and a small behind.....

Curtisd3 Curtisd3 Newbie Registered: 01/29/04 Posts: 49 Loc: Michigan	I was prescribed Ultracet at my first PM visit yesterday. NSAID's DO NOT work for me in pill form at all. I called the doctor and told him and he prescibed Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars)/Ultram 50mg. I've taken 100mg twice today and I have to say I really like the stuff so far--nice, easy, calming pain relief. I'm impressed. Is this a C-III--I assume that it is. Does it have Codeine in it? I know it acts similiarly to opiates. Thanks! I'm very grateful I found DB. Curtisd3

hilarylp hilarylp Member Registered: 07/06/02 Posts: 113 Loc: Corporate Droneville	Well, a lot of unscheduled meds aren't available OTC. Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) is recognized as having a high abuse potential, thus it will probably be scheduled soon.

night_shade night_shade Threadhead Registered: 08/26/03 Posts: 907 Loc: The State of Hockey	Quote: Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) is recognized as having a high abuse potential FROM THE ORTHO-McNEIL WEBSITE: DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) may induce psychic and physical dependence of the morphine-type (µ-opioid). (See WARNINGS.) Dependence and abuse, including drug-seeking behavior and taking illicit actions to obtain the drug are not limited to those patients with a prior history of opioid dependence. The risk in patients with substance abuse has been observed to be higher. Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) is associated with craving and tolerance development. Withdrawal symptoms may occur if Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) is discontinued abruptly. These symptoms may include: anxiety, sweating, insomnia, rigors, pain, nausea, tremors, diarrhea, upper respiratory symptoms, iloerection, and rarely hallucinations. Clinical experience suggests that withdrawal symptoms may be relieved by reinstitution of opioid therapy followed by a gradual, tapered dose reduction of the medication combined with symptomatic support. WARNINGS Seizure Risk Seizures have been reported in patients receiving Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) within the recommended dosage range. Spontaneous post-marketing reports indicate that seizure risk is increased with doses of Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) above the recommended range. Concomitant use of Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) increases the seizure risk in patients taking: • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI antidepressants or anoretics){EFFEXOR, et. al.}, • Tricyclic antidepressants {triptylines} (TCAs), and other tricyclic compounds (e.g., cyclobenzaprine {FLEXERIL}, promethazine {PHENERGAN}, etc.), or • Other opioids. Administration of Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) may enhance the seizure risk in patients taking: • MAO inhibitors (see also WARNINGS – Use with MAO Inhibitors), • Neuroleptics, or • Other drugs that reduce the seizure threshold. Concomitant use of SEROTONIN re-uptake INHIBITORS and MAO INHIBITORS may enhance the risk of adverse events, including seizure (see WARNINGS) and serotonin syndrome. ------------------------------------------------- Funny that I was given this med considering I take Effexor XR, Flexeril, Amitriptyline AND Phenergan... Makes me wonder if doctors even read these prescribing info documents??? Anyway, it doesn't work for me at all. Tylenol by itself is as effective in my opinion. But I also take methadone, so maybe that cancels out the Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) effectiveness? _________________________ Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

actonbell actonbell Journeyman Registered: 09/08/03 Posts: 82 Loc: Oklahoma	I am also one of the lucky ones for whom Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) is a lifesaver. I prefer it over opiates any time. BUT........, it is not good for acute pain, it needs to be taken on a regular dosing schedule to be effective, and it does have weird side effects on some people. I took it daily for nearly 9 months, ordered from good old click mostly, but I have become so paranoid about it, even though it is not scheduled, it could get me into some trouble is the LE decided to press the issue, because it is illegal to order ANY med overseas thru the mail, so I went cold turkey about 2 weeks ago. I was prepared for bad withdrawal since so many had mentioned it but there was none. I just felt a little more tired than usual. There is one terrible drawback tho, I suffer from restless legs, and the Tramadol (Click here for TramadolX180tabs for only 99.95 dollars) controlled that perfectly, but when I stopped it came back with a vengence. Triple vengance. _________________________ All it takes to fly is to hurl yourself at the ground....and miss.

mikalis51 mikalis51 Stranger Registered: 03/10/04 Posts: 1	As I understand it, you can import 90 days if you walk over a land border. Importing through the mail from overseas is illegal. Regardless of the schedule of the drug, even if you have a legitimate prescription from an american doctor. I could be wrong, but that is my understanding of the law.

The 90-day claim for travelers carrying meds used to be generally true, but not any more ... not exactly. And the FDA's 1988 Pilot Guidance for mail imports of legend drugs was never rescinded.
