RE: To anyone.. Have a question about ultram.??

[Guest guest]

I have both AIH and PBC, and take Ultram daily for fibromyalgia and

costochondritis pain. The only problem I have with it is if I do

not eat enough before taking it, I get a bit " high " , which I don't

care for. As long as I eat at least a muffin in the morning, it's

fine.

I'm allowed to take up to 8 50mg tablets a day, but usually don't

take more than 4 unless it's a really bad day and I can just blow

off everything and lounge around.

It really does work!

Thanks, Sandy,

I hope it works for me, but I really don't care to get "high".(lol) . I think its from the opium family.

I always eat before taking meds as I do get side affects..

Blessings,

Lyn

Lynn,

Yes I have taken it. It is non narcotic and doesn't make you drowsy. I think it works wonders. I rarely have to take anything though as I am very fortunate regarding pain. Occasionally I have a headache which I will take 1 if needed. This doesn't happen much and my Hepatologist has said its OK to take.

Hope this info helps.

Hi ,

Thank you for this e-mail. I have been a bit hesitant to take the ultram, as I have had very few meds for pain over the years.

Since I am having bone and joint pain , I do need something on the "bad " days. So. I will give it a try. Plus it might help the dull ache and pressure of my liver under my ribs.

I hope you are doing as well as you can.

Take care of yourself, .

Blessings andbest wishes,
