Question 1

im on ultram er 100mg, how often does it release a dose of the medication and approximately how much? same questions for ultram er 200mg.

Accepted Answer

Continuously: As does the 200 mg dose.

It is dosed every 12 hours, so figure the original dose/12 hours in mg.

Question 2

i was on pain medication for years was abusing it now im of feeling better now taking ultram instead of nacartics is that ok or addictive?

Accepted Answer

Ultram is an opiate: Ultram has habit forming potential as it contains opioid (narcotic) like activity and may be abused. If you no longer have pain you should get off this medication.  If you still have pain as well as a history of addiction to narcotics, discuss your options with a pain management/addiction medicine specialist.

Question 3

is there any pain medication i can take if i am allergic to ultram, nsaids, vicodon , and percoset. taking antihistameine does not relieve any symptom?

Accepted Answer

Allergies Sev Meds: What type of reaction did you have with Ultram "all" NSAIDS, Vicodin, &amp; Percocet? Many people confuse true allergies to meds  with standard side effects -such as nausea. 
The type of pain makes the difference with treatment options. You're young so you must think about long term effects on your liver &amp; kidney. Gabapentin. Lyrica, (pregabalin) Cymbalta, Topamax, Elavil, Pamelor are examples of other meds for tx

Question 4

i have clay colored stools for four days. have not changed my diet. and the only medication i take are probiotics and ultram. is that normal ?

Accepted Answer

Clay colored: No this is not normal you may have an obstruction of your bile duct

Question 5

what drugs are like ultram/tramodol?

Accepted Answer

Not sure of question: I'm not clear on what you're seeking - a non-narcotic pain reliever or specifically one in the class w/tramadol.Tramadol is pretty much unique in the way it affects brain's pain receptors w/out all the side-effects of opiates.Other less addictive pain meds are NSAIDs, anti-depressants, nerve stabilizers like Lyrica (pregabalin) or Neurontin, etc.If you need to change meds, talk w/ your doctor before doing so.

Question 6

is ultram pain medicatin a type of narcotic?

Accepted Answer

Ultram, or tramadol: Works on the same receptors, the mu receptors, but is not a true narcotic. It is considered a narcotic-like pain medication. It can be extremely helpful treating pain and does not have the same abuse potential as narcotics. Hope this helps!

Question 7

hello doctors, can ultram show up as meth on a drug test?

Accepted Answer

No: there are no reports of any such false positives with tramadol to my knowledge, or in the literature.  I checked several authoritative sites and cannot find any references to this.  I found that on drug bulletin boards, many people (all anonymous, ? authority) say that it does show up as methadone.  It definitely does not cause false positive for methamphetamine.  Meth can mean either.

Question 8

i stopped taking ultram cold turkey on 8/9. i have a drug test for a new employer on 8/15. im 5'4" 265 lbs. will it be out of my system by then and me not fail my drugtest?

Accepted Answer

Should be fine : The half life of Ultram is about 8 hours. It should be undetectable after a few days. Also, most drug screens don’t test for Ultram. It is not chemically related to either opiates or semisynthetic narcotics. Maybe your employer tests for it. I don’t recall having ever seen it done.

Question 9

how safe is garcinia cambogia if u take celexa xanax (alprazolam) and ultram? also i have about 30 pacs a day. is this drug safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Garcinia cambogia is a supplement that is supposed to suppress appetite. There are no known interactions with xanax, (alprazolam) Celexa or ultram.

Question 10

why do drugs like prozac (fluoxetine) and ultram that affect serotonin cause you to sweat more? how can i deal with the sweating better?

Accepted Answer

Stop the combination: Serotonin syndrome when the two medications are taken together. Serotonin syndrome can be serious and even life threatening. It is the result of high levels of serotonin in the body. Serotonin syndrome is characterized by having at least three of these listed symptoms: tremor, shivering, agitation, diaphoresis fever, hyper-reflexia incoordination or myoclonus.Stop taken the two madication together.
