This drug has helped very much with my chronic back pain. It doesn't take it all away but does alleviate it enough so that I can continue to function through out the day. Depending on my activity I take 2 tablets 2 to 3 x's per day.With out it I am only able to be up for about 4 hours before the pain has me sitting or laying down.

This medication works well with minimal side effects. It mutes the pain levels down to a point where you can concentrate on daily activities without feeling "drugged".... There are two very important points to this medication that cannot be ignored without side effects. Overdosage: From all the blogs I've found, overdosage often results in sleeplessness. Headaches and stomach cramps are also widely reported. Abruptly ceasing use: If you take a moderate to high dosage of Ultram each day (5 to 8 tablets), then abrubtly stopping Ultram results in some fairly severe withdrawal symptoms...particular at the 36 to 48 hour mark after your last dose. In my particular case, I lost my prescription and went a weekend without it which resulted in some of the most horrible overnight symptoms I've ever experienced. Restless leg syndrome and/or acute insomnia seem to be the primary complaints. The symptoms persist on and on and do not let up, no matter how tired you become. You cannot sleep - and when you do manage to doze off for 15 minutes, you wake up with RLS/Insomnia in a sweat. Headache and acute dizziness are also complaints associated with Ultram withdrawals. Exaggerated pain as well. It all adds up to a strong desire to do whatever a person has to do to relieve the insomnia and just sleep - especially when this cycle drags on for a number of days. Step down dosage over a long period of time i.e. a month. Depression is also a widely complained about symptom - even for those who dose down slowely. Make absolutely sure a doctor knows what you are doing and can help treat the symptoms. You may very well need the help.Read More Read Less
