tramadol: I take three tramadol per day: 1 with brunch at 8am; 1 with a snack at 2pm; 1with a light snack at 8pm. This schedule keeps me pretty much pain-free all day. Cons to using this medicine: I am hypoglycemic, so I can’t take Tylenol for any type of pain. Also, tramadol doesn’t help with any kind of headache, so to treat headaches, I use Advil. If I use Tylenol with tramadol, I have a hypo attack with much sweating and dizziness. But I like this medicine, because it keeps my fibromyalgia pain manageable and I suffer no additional side effects.

Ultram (tramadol): Tramadol saved my life. Fibromyalgia had just about taken my life away. I was constantly in pain, tired, and often in a mental fog. It was causing major problems in my marriage, because the pain, fatigue, and fog made me a horrible husband and father. I wasn’t doing my part around the house because of the pain, fatigue, and lack of cognitive clarity. My wife was resentful, and rightfully so. I finally ended up in a Doctor’s office in tears – I told him I was “crazy”. He said I was not crazy, I was ill. He prescribed tramadol and Cymbalta. My life has completely changed: no pain, no fatigue, and no fog. My life and marriage are restored, and we are happier than ever. Daily, I thank God for a good, knowledgeable doctor, Cymbalta and Tramadol.

Ultram (tramadol): I started taking Tramadol for undiagnosed knee pain about ten years ago. It was a miracle. I was actually able to walk for most of the day without pain. I finally had knee surgery, so I only had to take it a couple times a week. Then, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 5 years ago and had brain surgery, which I have had many bad effects from. The tramadol and also Percocet get me through my days. I want to kiss whoever created the tramadol.

Ultram (tramadol): Ultram has helped me greatly, it doesn’t always take all of my pain away (of course!) but it truly takes the edge off and helps me to function. I have not noticed any side effects besides sleepiness especially when I take more than one tablet.

tramadol: I am being treated for “fibro like” pain. After suffering with these unexplained pains my doctor put me on tramadol and amitriptyline. After 3 days on the medicines, I feel like I have my life back. I am sleeping so much better, I am able to do everyday activities with very little pain and my overall mood has improved! The only side effect I have noticed is wicked headaches.

tramadol: I started having symptoms of degenerative disc disease at age 19 – and was told I would have to learn to live with the pain; since then it has become worse and I now have other areas of my back affected, my hips and knees – and an injury to my ankle that will not heal due to the fibromyalgia, and I keep re-injuring it (they will not operate). In addition I have arthritis and bone spurs in various places. Tramadol is one of the first medications to help with my chronic back pain.. but it gave me the most intense headaches.

tramadol: Let me break it down really simply, Tramadol is an excellent pain reliever but is addictive! DO NOT take this medication through pregnancy. Wean off of it before you give birth and let your baby withdraw in utero. My son was in withdrawal for 10 weeks and I never told the Doctor I took the drug, so no one knew what was wrong with him. He didn’t sleep, trembled, and cried for 8-10 weeks straight. He has no developmental delay or physical impairments, but the first 2 1/2 months of his life were brutal. Wean off, please!

tramadol: I have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. While waiting to find a medicine to work on the RA, I have been in severe pain in every joint and every muscle in my body. My doctor prescribed Tramadol to be taken with 1000 mg of Tylenol every 4-6 hours. (I didn’t see many posts that mentioned the Tylenol). It has been a miracle for me. I’m mostly pain free but very fatigued, which could be from the diseases and not the medicine. I have a headache upon waking but it goes away as soon as I’m up and about. Getting going in the morning is the worst part, but the medicines are helping.

Ultram (tramadol): This medication did nothing for my pain. Had to stop taking Ultram after 5 days due to extreme agitation.

tramadol: I have fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid arthritis, and have had two back surgeries, the second one 22 years ago. Tramadol did not reduce my neck, shoulder, or lower back pain noticeably. I hadn’t recognized that my increased symptoms of nausea, headaches, lethargy, irritable bowels, or poor sleep might be related to the drug. I took myself off Tramadol (no warnings from my doctor about side effects taking Ultram or going off Ultram) and felt worse. More nausea, pain, irritable bowels, headaches turning into migraines. Desperate, I changed my diet. Low carbs, lots of green veggies, high protein, healthy fats, small amounts of whole grain rices. Pain is still there, but I feel more in control. I still take Voltaren and Flexeril.

Ultram (tramadol): Hi, I just thought that I’d add this comment for you. I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, hepatitis, and lupus. But before my diagnoses, with no insurance, I went to the hospital when I couldn’t take the pain anymore and was prescribed Ultram 50mg 2x a day. At first I took 1 and then another and so on until I reached six in a 4 hour period. When it finally started working it hit me like a ton of bricks. Needless to say I was pain free. So my advise is start with 2 and wait, it just not an instant relief like codeine. Unfortunately your body does become immune to its effects within abut 3 months. Now I am taking 4 roxicodone a day and also adjusting to that quickly too. Good luck to all of you.

Ultram ER (tramadol): I have had great success taking Ultram ER 100mg once a day and 300mg gabapentin 3 x day. They seem to cancel each other’s side effects out.

Ultram ER (tramadol): It helps me a a lot. I can move around more now. The only time I can’t move is when it’s raining. But other than that it helps my fibromyalgia greatly.

tramadol: I have had fibromyalgia for about 10 years and Ultram really helped for the first 5 years. After that the effect started to decrease until they had to change me to something else because it is not a long term drug. I loved it because you could take it and there were no feelings of sluggishness. It just took the pain away. I wish I could still take it with the same relief as when I first started.

tramadol: This drug did absolutely nothing for the level of pain I’ve been experiencing. The doctor’s “group” would not allow him to prescribe anything stronger or more effective. This unfortunately is not the magic bullet for chronic pain.

Ultram (tramadol): Over 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with myofacial pain syndrome. This was before fibromyalgia had a name. I tried everything with no relief. In the 90′s, I ruptured a disc and the doctor prescribed Ultram. It not only gave relief for the disc problem, but felt like a miracle drug for fibromyalgia. I have allergies to most medications, but amazingly, I could take Ultram. Without this medication, I would not have a life. I have never suffered from any side effects. I take three tablets daily. I do not take any other medications for fibromyalgia. The only other medicine I take is for under active thyroid.

Ultram (tramadol): Ultram was helpful for my muscle pain associated with the fibromyalgia. It did not make me feel ‘dopey’ or ‘high’ or more tired, etc. However, I would have to eat a substantial meal before taking it and then eat an apple or something after I took it or I feel on the verge on vomiting. It made me so nauseated if my stomach was not completely full.

Ultram (tramadol): I was taking Ultram ER 100 mg once a day along with Lyrica with no real relief. My doctor upped my Ultram to 200 mg once a day and I feel much better. I can’t believe the difference the dosage makes. Off course, being time release it does take a while to kick in, but I found I can work a longer day sometimes.

Ultram (tramadol): I have been using Ultram (tramadol) for over 8 years for my fibromyalgia pain. I started on it for a shoulder and neck injury, and it worked so great, I have been able to stay on it. In those 8 years I have actually lowered my dose by less than half, and get through a day on 75 mg. It keeps me working. I can not take it late in the day or it keeps me from sleeping well. If you are in pain, moderate to BAD days, I suggest you try it in moderate levels. It will not help for headaches for me. Stopping to take it will produce withdrawal symptoms after a time. Be prepared to go through a miserable, cranky day. Good luck, and feel well.

Ultram ER (tramadol): I have had Fibromyalia for years and have been prescribed many different pain medicines. I have also been seeking less pharmaceutical ways of dealing with my pain. One doctor prescribed tryptophan to me and I thought it was great and have had to use less pain medicines because of it, however I did not know that it was classified as an SSRI so when my new doctor prescribed tramadol to me and bumped me right up to the highest dose and I took it with my tryptophan I got really really sick. It took me a few days to figure out what was going on but I was having a major drug interaction called serotonin syndrome. Be careful. Yes, this drug works wonders on pain but can be dangerous with many other drugs.

Ultram (tramadol): This medicine was useful at first then your body adjusts and you need more to make it work. Well they gave me more and I was also taking Prozac for anxiety, and Trazadone to help with sleeping. Turns this combination of antidepressantss and Tramadol can cause serious drug interactions, so if you feel that something is just not right speak to your doctor as I did. It saved my life.

Ultram (tramadol): This is definitely my miracle drug. It allows me to continue working and even seems to have a slight mood elevator. I have suffered from fibromyalgia for years and the only other pain relievers I have found to help also made me drowsy and unable to function mentally. The only thing I notice from tramadol is relief. I have a sister with fibromyalgia and it doesn’t help her in the least so you just have to try it and see.

Ultram (tramadol): I have been taking ultram for 5 years now. I take it to help with the chronic pain caused by fibromyalgia. It is the only drug that I have taken that allows me to perform tasks without experiencing extremely intrusive pain. I am 27 years old and without this medication I do not believe I could have reached the goals that I have today.

Ultram (tramadol): I have been in pain for more than 18 years and used to live on Ibuprofen when I wasn’t diagnosed. Finally 2 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and prescribed Tramadol (Ultram). It was wonderful. I could move so much better than ever before. My pain seemed to be controlled. However, I quickly realised that the medication only lasted for 4 hours every time. Then the pain would creep back stronger than before.
