What is Ultram?

I have been taking Ultram for about 6 months. I was up to 200mg a day. Besides taking away my pain, it also made me happier. I didn't understand why until I investigated the drug and found that it actually works as an SSRI. I am now weaning myself off because I do feel that I was getting addicted. Not so much because it took away my back pain but because it made me happier. Over the past six months it seemed as though I had to up the dosage every month or so to get the same affect. I do not want to be addicted to any medication which is why I am going off of it. Also, it does give you a false sense of well being. If one is on a pain killer for 18 hours out of the day, how do you know if you have something going on in your body that needs to be addressed. Just wondering if anyone else experienced similar feelings.

suboxone is a very strong narcotic, I would definitely not reccommend using it to get off tramadol.(that's kind of like using heroin to get off oxy's)
I would try the tramadol er (extended relief) 100mg pills. they peak after 12-15 hours and wear off after 24 hours (the regular ones peak after 1-1.5 hours and wear off after 6 hours). I've found that even chewing or crushing the ER's won't give you a buzz which makes them a better choice to try to taper off with. Trust me, I know tramadol is a real bitch to get off of, good luck |

suboxone is for opiate dependence...telling someone to take 100mg extended release pill and chew it to taper down is just plain stupid by chewing it its no longer extended release...why don't you just overdose people THINK ABOUT IT !!!

Sorry to contradict you but its no where near or even close to as heroin. The ananlogy you used; is way off. Suboxone is indeed a strong med. It is not a full agaonist opiate such as oxcy or herioin, it is a partial. It simply fills or almost fills your receptors to wart off w/d's and cravings. No high, no possibilty of building up a tolerance, therefore, no need to go higher and higher up the dosing scale to get the same relief. I am a big fan of suboxone as it has kept me oxcy free for 10 months. Not one oxcy, vic, or perc has passed my lips since. Before sub, I would take 4-5 80's a day, same amount of roxis if I didnt have oxcy, or 10-12 10mg lortabs. Probably close to 3-4 thousand pills in two years. Wow, never did the math on that till today. I am schocked my liver hasnt moved out. Anyway, your off on your analogy of subs. The sub website tells all you need to want to know about it. Take Care. |

Eli, you're crazy and you don't know what you are talking about. Suboxone is one half of a normal opiate and unless you gobble them all up in one sitting, you'll be just fine - no high, good-to-go.. Suboxone is an excellent choice for opiate receptor drug aversion. |
You didn't read my post correctly, slow down and read the words carefully. I pointed out that chewing the tram ER's doesn't give you a buzz (meaning that the ER is still intact). This is a good thing if you are trying to quit because it means you can't get a buzz from the ER's. If you are going through a sleepless night trying to taper down it is very tempting to just pop a few regular trams to get a buzz, with the ER's you will not get a buzz even if you chew a handfull of them. Do you really not understand what I am saying? That makes them a good choice to taper down with... |

If you are on 4-5 80 oxy's a day then YES suboxone is definitely a good choice. Did you say no high with suboxone????? Maybe if you're coming off of an insanely high dose of narcotics but for me suboxone rockes me 10x more than shooting an entire 80 oxy, and it lasts for 24hours. Got to go to work, I'll be back to help weed through some more of the BS printed here. Also you missed my analogy...heroin is to oxy as suboxone is to tramadol. In other words suboxone is much more hardcore drug than tramadol. |

I highly doubt the previous post either this person is full of BS or they have no Idea what their talking about...I do know if you are opiate free you will get a buzz from the subs but I doubt as "good" as shooting(I.V.)an 80 but people are different so maybe I am wrong...would'nt be the fist time....and SHELLY Its great that you know all about the subs have a good day my sub buddy !!!

The subs can be a lifesaver to many people hooked on opiates but before you use suboxone to get off of tramadol I would reccommend researching it very well. And I don't just mean researching the science behind it, you should also read a lot about people's exeriences with it.
heroin-detox dot com has many different views from people who have used suboxone, some good and some not good. My personal reccomendation is that suboxone is a much more serious drug than tramadol. |
|

I don't even know if suboxone will work for tramadol...I've never seen any information that it will work(just someone mentioning it on here))but I do know it works for opiates and would/will recomend it to anyone wanting to get off opioids

Ah, I reread your post and I see what you were trying to say now. I personally never got a buzz off suboxone but I guess it may be possible for a non tolerant opiate individual. But then if you have no tolerance, why take subs in the first place? Subs are meant to be used as a med to get off opiate dependency. They certaintly did that for me. Thank God. |
|
|
I meant to say if you STILL have a tolerance that subs are a good choice. No more tolerance for opiates is what got me to subs in the first place. I am a bit confused this morning I guess.LOL
|
|
|
Or I had a high tolerance, whatever. You know what I mean.
Damn, maybe I should go back to bed. LOL. |
|
|
pretty funny shelly I get what you mean!!!
|
|
Yeah I usually get around to making a point sooner or later. LOL. |

Hey guys, Ultram is synthetic seratonin, non-narcotic and non-addictive. Just put the damn things down. They suck anyway!
|
|
|
you got that right I tried them a long time ago and they did was make me feel really weird(more than usual anyway)
|
|
|
If Ultram doesn't work and is more trouble than anything what is an alternative? I am searching for a reasonably acccessible warm & fuzzy pain medication. The warm & fuzzy is as important as the pain killing.

So is the road to addiction. . .

Warm and fuzzy leads to cold and shivering. Dependency is a bitch and the withdrawals and detox are worse. Aleve is a surprisingly effective pain reliever... and more importantly, non-habit forming. Party on Garth. |
Judge it!
