Good morning all!

Hi i posted my question early this morning and i thought i would post again for more advice. I have been taking ultram 5omgs since aug.29th. I ran out of them yesterday and tried to get my refill and the pharmacy said my insurance would not cover it till the 21st of this month. My question is if i go without them for a couple days will i have wd symptoms? I talked with dimboy last night (he is great)and he said that ultram is very addictive and should try to stay away from them . Im going to try but the pain is so servere in my spine n shoulder that i have to take somthing. Naproxen does help alil but hurts my stomach so bad. I already have been addicted to vicodin after taking them for 3yrs so i dont want to take anything like that again. Does any one know what would help with pain thats not addictive?i have read these posts for a month and all of you has really helped me so much. Thanks ~michele~

I would try heat/ice, 800 mg motrin, hot tub, maybe ask for lidacain patches.   It depends on how much ultram you were taking but, yes, generally we do have some wd symptoms when stopping.   I used ultram to come off vicodin and my wds, although milder, lingered for weeks.  It was worth it to me because it allowed me to work.  Do you have anything to help you sleep?

Best of luck
