I took Ultram-ER for months awhile back. Ultram (Tramadol) is used for moderate to moderately-severe pain. It is best when used for long term treatments.
It is NOT an nsaid nor is it a narcotic. However, it is similar to a narcotic in how it works. Go to www.ultram-er.com for more info.
It is NOT addicting, however it can be habit-forming. Big difference. It if it used as intended, within prescribed dosages, it should not be a problem. Dependence on any pain medication only causes difficulties when the patient either takes too much, too often or continues to take it when the pain receeds. True addiction to medication does NOT occur with any medication if it is ONLY used to treat pain.
I know numerous pain patients (including myself) who took morphine, dilaudid, oxycontin, etc. for years without any addiction. They quit taking the meds (or switched to non-narcotic meds) without any problems or withdrawal when their pain was relieved/lowered from other treatments.
Ultram-ER does have some side effects. Most common are nausea, dizziness and constipation. You also have to be very aware of what other meds you take with it. It interacts (severely) with some medications (esp. some antidepressants).
Ultram is an NSAID (Non Steroidal Anti Inflamatory Drug). It is not a narcotic, but it will help your pain.
I used it for a few months about 2 years ago when i had ovarian cysts and then again for a few weeks after my knee surgery. It makes me feel fine except making me really sick to my stomache. It doesn't relax me at all. Vicodin is the only narcotic that relaxes me; the rest make me jumpy.
This drug is a narcotic. Opiate. Look it up. I do not no why people still believe it isn't. It's withdraw is horrible because it also works on serotonin. Personally your better off taking hydrocodone. It is one of the worse pain -pills ever made in my opinion.
It was prescribed for me but had exactly NO pain relief.
I had no benefit at all.
