Hep C Tx and tramadol or ultram

[14cheri]

I am in wk 16 of my 24 wks. The headaches and joints pains are getting worse. Has any tried ultram or tramadol? I read somewhere that they help the pain and they give you more energy. That sounds great if they wk. I'm going to the dr tommorrow, was wondering weither to ask about them

hi i was on the ultram and yes it did work without that drugged up feeling, however to my luck because of zoloft i was told could not take it as it can cause seizures, i had taken it for about a year and had no seizures, but you know how the docs are. i wish i could still take it for pain (wish i did not have to take any pills), but for me i could not work with the type of pain i have, and the ultram was like a miracle for me...make sure you tell doc about ALL medications that you take..
good luck

I took tramadol the last 24 weeks of my treatment, but it only worked together with  tylenol 2 capsules tramadol one tylenol pill.

It helped a lot with my mood aswell.

I didn`t took any other meds beside soc and that during tx.
The doc prescribed it because of terrible headache that I have had for months

Good luck with the rest of your treatment.
