Ultram Information

Ultram

Tramadol (Ultram, Tramal (see below)) is a centrally-acting analgesic, used for treating moderate to moderately severe pain.

Tramadol is a synthetic stripped-down piperidine-analog of the phenantherane alkaloid Codeine and, as such, is an Opioid and also a pro-drug (Codeine is metabolized to Morphine, Tramadol is converted to M-1 aka O-desmethyltramadol). Opioids are chemical compounds which act upon one or more of the human opiate receptors (the euphoria, addictive nature and respiratory depression are mainly caused by the Mu(μ) 1 and 2 receptor. The opioid agonistic effect of Tramadol and its major metabolite(s) are almost exclusively mediated by the substance's action at the μ-receptor. This characteristic distinguishes Tramadol from many other substances (including Morphine) of the opioid drug class, which generally do not possess Tramadol's degree of subtype selectivity.

Recent Ultram Side Effects

I was prescribed Ultram for chronic back and neck pain because I had been on Vicodin for a long time but did not want to be on a strong narcotic long-term. Ultram is effective, but i have been on it almost a year and if I run out and don't happen to have any more, after about 12-24 hours I start sweating and I feel weak and can't sleep, plus legs twitch uncontrollably. I guess all pain meds have their problems.

Drove 500 miles from home...forgot to renew my ultram. Doctor would not renew without me coming in (have taken it for over two years). After 3 days could not sleep, my arms and legs would jerk uncontrollably, I wanted to cut them off. After six days I went to emergency. They gave me a five day dosage of Ultram. After one day back on...everything was back to normal. Over the phone my doctor told me to take Motrin!!! As soon as I see him (today) and get a prescription,,,I will change doctors.
