If not, Don't!

Ultram - Waste of time!

I have been on this for pain two weeks now and it does nothing!

I tried it and agree. What a waste and it made me too sleepy to drive. If it can make you drowsy it should at least clobber the pain. It also made it hard to think.

I have Ultram for my neck pain. It helps somewhat, but only for a very short time.

I've been taking it now for six months and it has helped me. I'd much rather take Ultram than any other narcotic but that's just me. It does take the edge off of the pain.

It also helps me with the rage I get from Bart.

I wouldn't say not to take it. What works for one person may not work for the other. We are all different.

The advice I give, should not be considered medical advice. My opinion comes from years of research and experience.

My insurance only covers one 100mg per day but I also tried two a day.

Ultram's generic is Tramadol. My family takes Tramadol for pain relief. My husband takes 50 -100 mg per/day. I usually take 300 mg/day and my kids take 300-400 mg/day.

We also take 500 mg of Tylenol with each 100 mg dose of Tramadol.

Tramadol is not expensive and we don't have any side effects from it.
