Ultram Feedback

If you have used Ultram, please help others by adding your feedback. What would you tell someone considering using this pain medication?


Subj: Addicted to Ultram
Date: 9/18/2009
I am a recovering opiate addict. In treatment my roommate was a physician who will of course remain nameless. His drug of choice was Ultram and Ultram only. The consequences of his addiction to the medicine were quite severe which included the suspending of his medical license. I realize this is not a personal experience, however, I do think it shows the seriousness of becoming addicted to Ultram or any other opiate or opiate-like pain medication.

Subj: Depression and crying
Date: 9/20/2009
I have been taking Ultram for about a month for a plantar fascia tear injury in the arch area of my foot and joint pain. Every step I took and being on my feet all day at work was awful pain. I was taking all kind pain pills and was inactive all summer due to the pain and/or medication which made me gain 10 pounds. So the doctor tried me on Ultram. It does help the pain but fatigues me after work starting at 5pm. I don't even want to do anything. I was taking 50mg 3 times a day. I stopped cold turkey the other day and I was ok the 1st day but had total pain to walk on my foot. The next day I woke up with total join pain and horrible back pain and fatigue after sleeping 9 hours solid. I could hardly walk to the bathroom. I also experienced depression and crying just watching TV trying to rest cause I had no energy to move. So I looked up these symptoms on this site and I came to the conclusion to take 50mg and within 45 minutes I started to feel better. I just took another 50mg because the pain in the foot started returning to walk on it. I think this lower dose should help. We will see...

Subj: Drug test
Date: 9/23/2009
I am asking about Tramadol (Ultram). Can Tramadol cause a false positive on a drug test for Methadone? I just failed a routine drug test and the only thing I have ingested is Tramadol. Please Help

AskDocWeb: Tramadol has not been reported to show up as a false positive for Methadone or anything else on a drug test.


Subj: Kidney problems
Date: 9/28/2009
I had been put on ultram 8 months ago for right leg pain from falling and a total hip replacement. My Dr put me on it over the phone and did not tell me the side affects. I at one time asked him if I would have possible kidney problems with no answer. I now have a spot in my right Kidney that was found from a CT Scan test. I have had severe pain from urinating and have been put on many Antibiotics and yeast creams with no avail. I have gone off the meds only to find out I am depressed, anxious, cannot sleep, have panic attacks etc. I finally got some answers about this med by reading what other readers have stated and was never told to go off if slowly. I am still waiting to find out about my kidney issue.
