Hello there! Tramadol ( ultramUltram Ultram er ) is addictive as well....eventhough doctors might say that its not because its classified "narcoticDrug abuse like" drug. When was your last pill? are you feeling any WD's?
if you can deal with the pain...please dont take ultramUltram Ultram er...its so nasty! i was addicted to ultram and getting off of it was not fun.
Hi I have not had any ultram since 8pm yesterday. So no w/d yet. Im just really afraid to take anything habit forming again. It was so hard geting off the vicodin. but i havent wanted any vicodin since ive been on ultram. Anyway thank you for your help. I am gonna try to stop taking ultram. I want to stay away from everything opiate or like opiates.by the way how long does it take to see the w/d symptoms after taking last ultram? Thanx again. ~michele~
It really depends....if you took your last yesterday, you should be feeling some discomfort now....but you know what, DONT think about it....its 90% in your head....Ignore it and deny it..you will be ok :)
