Guest guest Posted December 22, 1998 Report Share Posted December 22, 1998 In answer to L Gibbons question about Ultram I have been taking it for 2 years. It only comes in one strength (50 mg). I take 2 tablets a day one at lunch and one at suppertime. My RLS bothers me mostly during my waking hours. It is 85-90 % effective. Maybe if I took 3 a day it could be 100 % effective. So far I haven't noticed that it is any less effective now than it was when I first started. As far as side effect I can't say I have any I can blame on the ultram. I have been dizzy lately a good bit more than the dizziness you experience if you sit up quickly. It only bothers when I lay down or get up. My lower back has been sore for a couple of months and I think gee is that my liver or kidneys giving trouble? I had my yearly check up last Thursday and the doctor says no. When I get my test reports back if anything shows up being connected to ultram i'll report it to you. I do feel a little blah or have slight palpitations in my chest now and then and am more tired than I would like to be but whose to say these are caused by the ultram. Hope this is of some help.

It works better with 10 mg of Elavil, however Elavil is such an insidious drug, I have weaned myself off of it. I tkae Klonopin along with Ultram, 2mg per night. I also take serazone, and go to massage therapy 3x per week. Riaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I CAN NOT live without it. The combination of my drug regimen has hardened my stool and resulted in bleeding hemorroids, which is no laughing matter. Such is RLS !!

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Helen, Even a man who is pure at heart and says his prayers at night, may become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms, and the moon is pure and bright. I hope that doesn't describe your furry kid! Les Re: [alldiabeticinternational] Digest Number 65 Hi Robin, I am really glad that you found us.
