Ultram symptoms and conditions

I started taking Lamictal for a seizure disorder a little under 1 year ago. It was difficult to tell how it effected me because I was going through xanax withdrawal at the same time, which I am sure is the reason I had the seizure to begin with. I did not realize this was the case at the time and so i cannot really tell you what my initial reaction to Lamictal was. Now I am noticing some side effects. Difficult to fall asleep (but that's always been the case.) Nightmares (they have gotten less intense, though). Occasional nausea, although never to the point of vomiting. I recently cut my super-long hair b/c it was falling out a bit. It' not as bad now that I got some of the weight off of my hair. I definitely have trouble finding words and often find myself feeling embarrassed when I'm in a social or professional situation and I'm not able to contribute as much to a discussion. I will probably stay on the med til I have been seizure free for a couple of years. I only had the one grand mal seizure. I am 31 and trying to decide if I want a child within the next couple of years, but have to consider the risks associated with the Lamictal. Good luck to everyone. Just do your best to be healthy and take care of your body.

I am in really bad pain from my fibro. The Ultram quit working, lyrica caused weight gain and violent nightmares and did nothing for the pain. My husband was given lyrica for his numbing feet and had the same problem with nightmares and woke up yelling and one night punching the wall. This is stopping now that he has got off the stuff. This lyrica is bad stuff at least for both of us. I need some help for this pain. I don't know what to do.

Nightmares, weight gain, headaches.

I just got a root canal because my tooth is "dying" and it was causing severe pain throughout the whole right side of my face, head, and ear. I asked the Ortho not to give me Percocet or Vicodin because I get nauseous / puke profusely. I took an Ultracet and luckily I only felt a twinge of nausea... just on the brink of nauseous but I could live with it. It also made me feel really dopey and high. I liked the feeling because I had been days of severe pain and finally it was gone after the numbing from the dentist and the Ultracet... However, when I took one just before bed (4 hrs after 1st dose) I did get nauseous. I also felt twitchy and restless. My mom takes Ultram religiously for her headaches, and takes two at a time... I don't know how she does it. She is dependent on them. I went to work today and took one because my face started pulsing again. It was interesting because I didn't get nauseous and I felt more productive. I did get dopey for about 45 minutes but it went away and the pain stayed gone well after that. So in my short experience with this drug, I've noticed the side effects aren't as bad during the day (maybe because I'm moving around more and not concentrating on them). I've also noticed that if taken during the day I got a little bit of an energy burst after the 45 minute dopey phase passed. Now it's night time again and my face hurts again, so instead of taking a full pill, I broke it in half (Verified with pharmacist that it's okay), and took an 800mg ibuprofen. Hopefully, I won't get sick and I'll sleep through the night without a pounding face alarm clock.

I just use Ultram er 200m one time in my life, last night for my back pain ,I am very happy because the severe back pain I had getaway, but now since this morning went I wake up I fell to bad with nausea, dizziness , itching, vomiting I can't drink even water because i need to go and throwout. I do not think I will continue with this medication. Just one pill was an off for me to discontinue the medication.

I am in worse pains since I am taking Ultram Er 100 mgs. The pain Management Doctor can not understand that I am having those lower back pains if I am under the medication for three Weeks already.
The Doctor, who is on vacations, suggested that I should go to the emergency room of any Hospital. I will finish the story later.

I have been taking Ultram 50mg 3 times daily for almost 8 years. I had severe back pain that extended down my left leg. I went to a Neurologist and he performed back surgery. I did quite well for about 3 months and then was experiencing the same problems. He then prescribed Ultram ER and it has worked great. The only side affects I have recognized have been sleeplessness, hot flashes, nausea that goes away in about 1 hour after taking it, and super energy. The benefits far outway the side affects. My 34 year old brother was prescribed the 50 mg. tablets and he had to be transported to the emergency room because of a seizure. Needless to say he was advised not to ever take another pill.

I've taken Ultracet for about 4 years almost every day, morning and night time and sometimes in the afternoon depending how severe my pain is. I take 2 pills each time. It does help take the edge off my pain. My doctor said my Fibromyalgia is as bad as it can get, plus I have severe arthritis through my whole body. I can hardly stand up straight and trouble walking. Ultracet seems to help better then Ultram for me. I'm concerned about how long I've taken Ultracet and damaging my liver or other organs. Does anyone know how long you can continue using Ultracet before it does damage. I'm very concerned about that issue because it does somewhat help with pain. I haven't noticed any side effects using Ultracet. If anyone knows how long you can stay on Ultracet without any harm, please post your knowledge or experience. Should I also have my blood monitored periodically?

Three days into the ultram 200mg, once a day, I experienced a "tonic clonic seizure" what is formally known as a grand mal seizure.

From what my husband tells me it was so severe that he had to call the paramedics. I don't remember the entire seizure at all. I faintly remember seeing 4 heads coming to me down the hallway, and that was all I remember. John, my husband told me that was the paramedics and the fire department. Since they did not see the seizure taking place I was not taken to the emergency room or hospital.

I do remember laying on the bed for 4 days after the seizure unable to move, eat or drink. I was completely exhausted. I've a follow up appointment with my primary care physician on Tuesday, as in required by law to be seen and I believe I may have to sign a paper requiring me not to drive for the next 6 months.

I'm worried to say the least. I'd never had a seizure before in my life and I'm 47 years old now. I'm still experiencing nausea, inability to eat...even though its been just 2 weeks since the seizure.

I have been going through depression and extreme exhaustion and not wanting to be alone in a room since the seizure. The abdominal pains feel almost like when a menstrual period will start, severe enough to make one bend over double and an aching inside as well. Having had a hysterectomy over 7 years ago, I know that is not the issue.

I got into a car accident several years ago. I now have severe arthritis in my legs and shoulders and arms. Lifting weights has helped with the pain in my arms and shoulders, but nothing helps with the pain in my legs. When I first got into the accident I was put on soma. I stayed on it for around fifteen years at eight pills a day. When ultram came out I quit taking soma with no problems. Additions not a problem I have. After a few years on ultram it wasn't cutting it so my doctor put me on lortab 700. This helps a great deal and I find that if I take at least two of my doses during the night and only one during the day,I'm much more alert. I don't know what I'll do when these drugs quit working because my husband is selfemployed and so no one will give me insurance so that I can try the new very expensives meds that are out on the market. As of right now, I'm thankful for Lortab.

I have been taking Lyrica for 2 monthes, and now I.am prescribed Ultram ER 200 mg one time per day. I have had 3 nights of complete insomnia. Of the last night, I was up vomiting and felt terrible. I am not sure if any one else has had this same interaction, but I would be curious to know. The Lyrica dosage is only for 150 mg per day, split in balanced intervals. I really cannot deal with the pain, but I cannot be experiencing insomnia and vomiting.Please help!

A little over a year ago, I had muratic acid pured on both of my bare feet, causing 2nd and 3rd dagree burns over 75% of my feet. This has caused irreverseable nerve damage, and poor blood circulation, and keeps me in pain 24/7. My doctor prescribed 25mg Amitriptyline, and said it would help with both the pain, and the sleep. Before that they had me on Neurontin, Hydrocodone, and Ultram (which does nothing for any type of pain, regardless of how minor). As far as the pain goes, it does help a little, but as for the sleep, it does not make me sleepy what so ever. Instead, it makes me feel wired out, like I got to be constantly doing something or I will go crazy, which is hard to do when standing and walking are both very painful. Has anyone else had this side effect from Amitriptyline?

iIhave taken ultracet/ ultram before and had the same reactions. Last night I had nothing else to take for my awful awful headache, so I had to take the ultracet. First of all it did not ease the headache at all. I woke up this morning and felt like I had the jitters, I got hot and started sweating, then I started vomiting. Now my head feels like I am in a tunnel and I have cold chills. Anything with quick movement makes my head spin and I have to vomit again! If I had not known what this medicine made me do before I would have went to the ER, but fortunatly I know just to wait it out and hopefully it will be out of my system soon.

It makes me feel like I'm drunk. I get all hyper and start cleaning stuff and I'm the nicest person to everyone even if their my enemy.

I am one of those who take Effexor XR 150mg as part of a pain management regimen, as opposed to depression. I've had two major back surgeries that left me with arthritis and some internal scarring that causes acute, long-term back pain. Apparently, certain ani-depressants are also starting to be used to treat pain in combination with drugs like Vioxx and Ultram.

I have been on Effexor for nearly two years now. I never noticed any side effects until about a year ago when I thought I was coming down with the flu. My symptoms got steadily worse until I started to fear meningitis or even West Nile virus. I had terrible head and neck ache, neausea and dizzyness. It wasn't until I went to my pain management doctor that we figured out my symptoms started about the same time I had forgotten to take my Effexor and when I started taking over the counter cold medicine I had decided to stop taking some of my meds since I was unsure of the interactions. This turned out to be the wrong idea with the Effexor.

I was suffering from seratonin withdrawals and by the time I saw my doctor I was nearly passing out on the floor. They had neglected to tell me NOT to stop taking the Effexor. Now, I notice that if I miss a dose by even a couple of hours, I start to get dizzy and a headache.

Conversely, on a recent international trip, with jet lag I made a mistake in the time difference and took two doses within 12 hours of each other. Again, I had many of the same symptoms, but this time, even when I waited an entire 24 hours to let the extra drug exit my system, the symptoms pesisted for nearly a week before I stabilized again. Turns out the chemical(s) in Effexor have a half life of 7 days. Consequently, I had a hard time getting back on it without throwing everything out of balance.

I plan to have myself weaned off during my next visit with the doctor. I just feel fortunate that I have that option when so many others do not.

I started taking Levaquin for 14 days for a culture they did of my nose which indicated a bacteria. After taking for eight days, I began shuffling my feet and could hardly walk. At work I walked very slow, which is not normal for me and I could not bend down. My kees and ankles hurt so bad I could hardly stand it. I asked the nurse about it when I went in for my allergy shot, as I thought it was the shot. She said no it was not the shot but the antiobiotic. I ignored the fact as I had never heard of that happening and the side effects weren't listed from the pharmacy receipt. I took Ascription and Ultram at the same time it hurt so bad.
I still have infection and called the Dr's office again and they gave me the same thing. When I went to pick it up, I asked to talk to the pharmacist and told him about the side effects I experience and he said they don't give the medication to anyone under 18 years of age because of tendon and ligament damage. He told me to take it easy while I am on it. I've decided I'm not taking it. I'll have to risk my infection.
