Cold turkey..I had chronic daily HA that were disabling....my doc had

suggested daily narcotics and I had refused when I was diagnosed with

crohns, dercums and RA wala I now only get migraines when there is a change

in barometric pressure specifically a hgh. Are your sure that your HA is

not cervicogenic in nature. I from experience got HA;s from ultram. If

the HA's are from nsaids,,,,,,,after a week they should be gone..Deb RN

I've tried the tramadol and ultracet/er the strongest made, and after a few

times of pain relief, I got nothing but a killer headache. They are the worst in

my opinion for me, now they don't work no matter how long it's been since I have

taken them, all I get is the headache. 

This happens to me, so don't get me wrong I'm not saying not to take them if

they work for anyone.

Thanks all.   I don't know the cause of these headaches, the ultram actually

seems to help.  My cervical spine is filled with flattened discs, spondylosis

and stenosis. I just feel so lousy all day everyday anymore.  The lower neck

pain and tingnling in my right arm and hand. I've lost about 15 pounds over the

last 3 months from the stress I guess. I have to go a week without the

antiinflammatories before I have a medial branch block but can't imagine

skipping the ultram at the same time. Maybe I can try..   IJ

Ivan,

With medications like Tramadol, it is best to taper. Tramadol can be physically

if not mentally addictive and your body needs time to get used to not having it.

If you are considering discontinuing one of your prescriptions, I suggest

discussing it with your doctor first.

Ultram has a side effect of HA " S. Ultram is not a controlled substance

because there is supposed to be no physical addiction. It is not a narcotic

in the typical sense of narcotics....that's why its not controlled. As far

as tylenol and NSAIDS contained in those drugs.these are the things that

need to be eliminated immediately..and yes you will go thru a week of H..but

it needs to end sometime. Ivan.your brain does not know why you were taking

the drug even if it is for HA's rather then for arthritis you can still get

CDH. I can not take Tylenol because that happens. I am assuming that

ultracet/ultram was prescribed PRN as needed..am I incorrect?

Hiya Deb,

  The ultram  was prescribed as needed every six hours.  The ani inflammatory is

Naprelan 2 375 mil. once a day. I'm not sure these are the culprits. The

headaches began during chiropractic adjustments to the cervical spine.  After a

week of that the chiro stopped

adjusting my neck.  All my docs agreed that I should keep my vertebrae moving

(the two md's, one a spine doc are chiro friendly and go themselves).  I went to

a neurlogist for a head mri and mra and all was fine.  I take meds for

cholesterol, gerd and for hypertension i take hctz.   The headaches  start in

the back of the neck and head  go around the front and up a little. Goggling

this toild me its a " cervogenic headache " from th eoccipital nerves around c2. 

Neck and back pain coupled with these headaches  are just too much for me.

I complain to the docs but don't seem to get anywhere.   I'm having a medial

block soon,

perhaps if its strating from the muscles in my neck it will help.  I'm willing

to try most anything.  ij

Your degenerative cervical disks and stenosis are likly the cause. Sure, meds

can be a cause of headaches and everyone responds differently to meds. But my

strongest suspicion is your neck problems. They are KNOWN causes of headaches.

Ultram aka Tramadol does not have Tylenol, only the Ultracet does, It is ultram

with Tylenol. Ultram works on the opiate receptors in your brain to create pain

relief, because of this, It does create withdrawls and physical dependancy,

though not usually as strong as an opiate. Ultram IS a narcotic, but it is not a

controlled substance because it is not an OPIATE. It is a synthetic narcotic

created in a lab. The great thing about Tramadol is that is can work like an

opiate without the strong tolerance and dependance issues. I have been taking

the same dose of Tramadol for 5 years now and it still works, but if I taper

down, I get chills and sweaty and achy, like I'm getting the flu. You do have to

taper your dose before coming off of it. Especially as taking Tramadol can lower

your seizure threshold, which in people who do not suffer from seizures or take

many other meds that lower the seizure threshold, is not generally a cause for

concern. Abruptly

coming off the med would certainly be cause for concern. ---

Your right Ultram is NOT SUPPOSED to be physically addictive. But, it is.

Found that out a number of years ago, the hard way. I was taking it on a regular

basis for Fibromyalgia pain.

Ran out by accident and it just happened to be over a long weekend.

Ended up having all the same withdrawal symptoms you would have if you were a

freaking drug addict. Couldn't sleep, couldn't be still felt like hammered crap.

After my lovely little withdrawal scenario I discussed it in detail with my new

pain doc.

Turns out for years doctors thought Ultram/Tramadol was not addictive, which is

why all sorts of doctors were taking it for pain. Non-narcotic, right?

They were WRONG!!!

Hey Ivan,

May want to consider massage therapy. Sounds exactly like your headache is

stemming from your muscle tension and nerve impingement.

Massage therapy might just help.

those then the headaches came til finally they didnt leave for almost 10

days. That's when chiro sent me to neurologist. He  gave me methylprednisone

I am currently going to PT. It is suppose to be helping with cervical recovery

Your Chiro is probably right about it being too much activity. Especially if he

is doing exercises with you.

The TENS therapy and massage have actually seemed to help more than anything

else.

I would really look into the massage and trigger point therapy. I would do the

massage weekly for a month, then bi-weekly for another month then once a month

thereafter. You may get great relief from this. Do a little research on trigger

point therapy. Many of us experience tremendous pain due to the presence of

trigger points in our bodies. We can learn to tackle them at home too. I have a

great book called " The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook " that helped me eradicate

the trigger points in my back after surgery. They were causing horrible spasms

up my spine and headaches. Trigger points in the neck cause horrible migraines

and headaches. Now when they flare up, I can nab them early. ---

Ivan,

Yes, these are called chronic daily headaches and are a B to get rid

of. You get them by taking those types of drugs

Howdee all,

Does anyone here who suffers from regular headaches suspect that the

anti-inflammatory he or she is taking is the cause? Or from continual use of

ultarcet/tramadol? I've heard about rebound headaches but it the info I read

said you get them if you take these meds for the headaches instead of

arthritis realted issues.
