I hate Ultram.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

That is all.

1. It works pretty good for me.

Been taking it for about three years now and it still works pretty good. Kinda makes me a bit sleepy on a slow afternoon, tho'...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. Makes me puke EVERY TIME

sorry. but it does. Doesn't really touch the pain either. Glad it works for you...want mine? :D

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

5. Interesting- I always considered it fairly harmless stuff.

It's mostly aspirin, so I always drink a glass of milk with my pills, but other than the sleepy effect it doesn't do anything else to me. And it really does help my arthritis pain.

I hope you find something that works for you.

6. I think I have an ulcer...

that might be part of the issue :shrug:

I am going to ask for vicodin next time I see the Doc.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

7. Yep, that makes sense.

Aspirin and stomach ulcers don't play well together.

11. You have to eat something right before taking it-preferably bread

but anything that's at least a little filling will work.

12. not for me...tried it ...

puke it right up x(

[FloridaJudy]

2. It's effing worthless

In my experience, both as a patient and a nurse. Save your money and buy generic ibuprofen, if you're able to tolerate it. If you really need a narcotic painkiller, demand that your provider prescribe one that works.

4. truth to the power...

and besides that ...it makes me puke!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Does that stuff Do anything?

I don't recall ever getting even the slightest buzz much pain relief at all from it.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. not for me ...it doesn't.

besides puking.

fricking worthless crap x(

18. and vicodin does nothing for me

Ultram is a synthetic codeine analogue. And codeine always worked for me when vicodin didn't. So it's nice to have a safer, less addictive alternative.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. I will swap you my

ultram for your vicodin :D

[Lorien]

10. I love Ultram

hand it over!

;-)

[Tuesday Afternoon]

13. got something for a trade ? --

:D

be glad to do a little swap-er-rooo ;)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. What is it?

And scuse the copycat. I couldn't resist!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. no problem

Orrex beat you to it ....look further down the page. :D

Ultram is a pain releiver...of sorts.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. "Other purposes" eh?

Hmmm... :D

[Tuesday Afternoon]

20. haha...

17. I just started on it yesterday

and it fucking RAWKS!

9 weeks of excruciating back pain - today I can walk. I can sleep. It's unbelievable. Vicodin did absolutely NOTHING. Now I'm a different person.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. I did not know it was codeine (ultram) Hell ...I can't take codeine

either. It makes me throw up, too. I am going to try the vicodin...and seems like there is something called Lortab...does that sound right?

[Lil Missy]

21. I'm glad you feel better!

:bounce:

[MonkeyFunk]

23. oh, so am I

I got a cortisone epidural and the ultram - between the two, things are a LOT better.

I go in thursday for another shot.
