Ultram Addiction

seven years ago i hurt my back again, the trend was ever so present. i had been to the doctor more than a few times in the past years over the constant pain in my back.
on the way there i was thinking about the medication he had perscribed the last time i was there,it was ultram.
i was hoping that he would give me one hundred of these pills so i could feel as pain free and as uphoric as i did when he last gave them to me.
he gave me a years prescription for 90 tabs per mounth........the bastard.
now im so toxic that i stink ....my intake of ultram had reached 16 per day but now in back to 5 per day and trying to get off of them complety.
im reducing by 1 pill per two weeks and it seems to be working but look out, theres some bad pills out there, they make you very sick, your mussels twitch and your very disoriented, you have a strange taste in your mouth, if your immobile its worse.
you have to keep moving untill the strange taste in your mouth goese away then you need to get to your doctor and tell them about your experiance right away.
i dont know what your doctor will say but the experince will surely be one you can explain.
these enternet pills are not reliable, be carfull!!!

Being "addicted" to ultram in my opinion is miserable....I have been taking anywhere from 15-30 a day for almost 5 years. If I do not take them one day I get very sick and just want to "die" I wish that I had never been introduced. Before ultram I took vicodin and I feel thet the ultram is actually better and a whole lot easier to get, almost to easy. Perhaps thats why I am where I am today...Please if you are easily addicted to meds...stay away from ultram..

i was taking 20 pills a day.and me too i wish my family didnt get me them when i was in so much pain,now i am on medication to stop my cravings im taking on step at a time.

i was given ultram for restless leg syndrome after many other med failed. it worked...but at a price. i take 2 every morning before i even get out of bed. i take another 2 every night around 5 pm. if i dont take them, my legs twitch, i feellike bugs are crawliing inside my skin...like restless legs-only ten times worse. if i drink, the skin crawling is so bad i have to take double the pills. when i take my first dose in the morning, i get a euphoric feeling about 20-30 minutes after, only to feel"let down" within 2 hours. if you take more than 4 a day, you feel"ill".its like any med, you keep looking for the high that never comes aghain.
my concern is what would happen if the world was to have a natural disaster,,,what would all these addicts do for meds? doyou realize how intense the withdrawl would be????Just like all the antidepressants, everyone would have to go cold turkey,,,scarey thought. if you are on this med, ween yourself off.im trying now. one pill less every 2 weeks is what im trying. its SO hard.(by the way, im a nurse.)Good luck to all. stay away from this med...

I understand completely where you are coming from. I have been given Ultram on & off for over 10 years and have weaned myself off of them one time only to be put back on them again. I have severe fibromyalgia, along w/ migraines and a myriad of other health problems, so my rheumatologist keeps me in supply of Ultram. I take 2 pills 3 times a day but my problem is that the Ultram is giving me disabling rebound headaches. I have been in denial about this for years because I actually need the Ultram for my fibromyalgia pain but I have finally admitted that it is time to come off of it. I have an appt w/ my PCP in 2 days to start me on a program to "detox", I guess. I am really stressing about it & no one around me seems to understand. My husband, who rarely takes Tylenol and has never been in the hospital a day in his life, has no clue what I'm going through. I have a 6 year old daughter that is my main motivation for doing this. I am SOOOO ready to be out from under the weight of this "addiction" but SOOOO afraid at the same time as to what I am going to do when the pain that I am taking the medicine for returns. It is so ironic that doctors give out medicine to cure one thing then 3 years later you, the patient, end up with more problems than when you went to the doctor in the first place. Here's praying that all goes well.

I also have had bad addiction to this drug. I started takeing it after 2 years of being clean from opate addiction. I spent a year on ultram taking as many as 10 a day the addiction came very fast. I weened myself down to half a pill a day and just stopped taking it all togeather. There were still withdraw from taking it but I feel it was much less then when I tried at 3 pills per day. I developed restless leg as a result of my opate addiction took Requip to combat that for a couple weeks and it was gone till the ultram addiction. now its back and doesnt seem to be going away I have been clean for 5 months now. And plan to stay that way. its not easy the first 2-3 days can be the tuffest after that it does get easier you have to stay commited to quit. one of the tools I used to help with withdraw was to keep my mind occupied with activities I injoy like fishing,hunting the mind connection to the drug is the hardest to overcome even when I was feeling the withdraw effects I was constantly thinking of taking that pill. go to your doctor and get a good sleep aid a weeks supply of ambien did the trick to help me sleep at night durring the day I just kept myself busy even tho I was cold sweating ans trembling at times. STAY COMMITED TO QUIT the pain will subside in a few days and everyday after will get easier I prommise. I have no desire to take ultram anymore and infact was offered some last night while at a friends house. Dont fall to temptation I forgot the word ultram till last night. When asked if I wanted it I thought I would get those old feelings again and drop a tab, but honestly I felt nothing and just said no thanx. I then told my friend what I went through being addicted. He promptly flushed 60 pills.

Well i will share my story with yall hopefuly it will help, I had a lumbar punture done a couple a years agao so after i got off the ER they prescribed percocet 10 ml ( yes really strong) so i started taking them and withing a week a was hooked so i went to this "Doctor" and explained that i had back pain( which of course wasnt true and he didint even checked me i guess im a good liar! so he prescribed percoset 60 7.5 ml and then 2 days later i told him a was still in pain so yeah he went 60 on 10 lm i was in heaven so i thought! I went to other doctor and got more pills, my appt came to see the same doctor that gave me the original 120 pills and to my surprise i got more and more narcs.. So by this time i was already on narcs 24/7 for about 3 months never stoping taking 15 ml of Vicotin every 4 hours or so i went back to my doctor and to my surprise he was gone anyhow i got to see this other doctor she said that she didint wanted my in addictive narcs so we should try Ultram and i quote " these ones are not as addictive and you dont have to take more the 3 a day and there was the prescription for 240 pills and guess what since its not labeled as a narc i was able to get all 240 pills in a trip to my pharmacy. So i was bumbed i was like humm not addictive means no high. anyhow i researched Utram not because i was concered about getting addicted but wheather i had to switch doctor yunno to get vicodin. So i was heck ill try it and i did , and here where my real nightmare took place, i remember getting a hight with vicodin but it would usually end in a crashing feeling like when u take too much caffeine and when i tried Utram i had no crashy feeling i had all this energy not a high but an energy that felt like i could do anything so theres where a got hooked it wasnt so much about the hight cause its not intense its more about the energy i remember getting the flu and i was cleaning , cooking just all this energy and then i realized i had a problem i was taking seven-50ml pills a a time just to be able to get outta bed to do my every day stuff, it got to the point where i had 30 pills in my puese and was thinking which doctor i was going to go today cause i was always making sure i didint run out, i could go back to my doctor cause she had given me 240 so i couldnt say im dome give me more! SO i went to god knows how many doctors to get it when with vicadin if i was out i would wait till i felt like going to get more , i so bottom line what hooks you its not the high but the non stop energy u get from it, and trust me once u try it it wont get any better i was taking about 20 pills a day and just think that ultram can make you have zizures with taking 6, i have 3 kids and i remember my 12 year old saying mom why do u take this pills, why do u chage ur last name when u go see a new doctor that was it for me one day 1 year ago i was like im done i let myself run out of those darn pills and the pain was so terrible that i ended up in the ER they gave me 15 Lortabs 5ml to take home and i was like well im tired of having to think nothing but ultram so i took them 1 every 4 hours and i can say that i was pain free for most of thr day but hell when night came around gosh i was literally pulling my hair out i had never felt such desperation, i wanted to literally die and i that night i told my husband what i was going thru and he was so kind with me and helped my through it, Now im not going to lie i wonder what ""if"" i go make a quick run to the doctor to get ultram but i know darn well that i will never put myself thru that again i went thru hell and back with this med and i cant blame anyone but myself i know im an addict and now i realize that i still have the same energy ultram claimed to provide to me now if i need energy i set my music high i clean till i cant do it anymore once you are an addict anything you subtitute that addiction with will become extreme and now that extreme is my music.... I know this is long but i just wanna let yall know that its hard and only us that been there know too well that its an everyday battle i still get craving but i try to remember how ultram was taking over my entire life, i was spending $80.00 a visic to a doctor evey 3 days and yeah that adds up but take aside the money it was my mind i couldnt think of anything else but Ultram... Be careful, because i think that ultram can be more deadly that other nacs only because gives u a boost everybody is looking for in this crazy hectic world we're living in....

well, 30 50mg per day for 3 years and the beast got me in the wallet. I am clean 5 days, but its the worst horror i have ever been through. please know that times are much better wuthout the Ultram

I have been taking pain killers on and off since my c section a yr ago. My dr started giving me ultrams for "back pain". I didn't have any back pain. Then I found out you can get them online. It got bad. The most I ever took was 20 in one day. Hid it from my husband. Then one day I took 8 at a time and four more a couple hours later. I ended up blacking out at the wheel. I drove right into someones else and don't remember any of it. Luckilly no one got hurt. But someone could have. Be careful with those things they really can cause seizures. The police came I had to go to the er. It was humiliating. I quit. Not worth it. I thought nothings gonna happen but those pills are really dangerous.
