Ultram ER...took one..never again

[againnot]

My dr. just gave me a sample of Ultram ER, 200 mg.  I took one 2 hours ago, and STILL feel nausaus, dizzy, creepy...and still in pain.  I'll take the back pain any day of the week than to ever feel like this again.  What a horrible, nasty drug.  He wanted to give me the vicodin again, and I said no thanks...tapered off of that twice and never want to go thru that again either.  I'll stick to the tylenol, ice, and that's it.  Can't take aleve or things like that  because of stomach problems.  
Will this yicky feeling last all day long because it's extended release?

LOL yes it does effect everyone different it never made me sick .It seems to be a very odd drug some it does nothing at all for ,some make sick ,and other high and you never know how its going to effect you .That is one of the dangerous things about it .

yeah, 3 days to get it out! started feeling a LITTLE better after two, but 3 days to be rid of that garbage!

You felt this way for 3 days from only one stinkin' pill?  wow.  Just goes to show the potency of this stuff!

I too had once been given a sample of Ultram ER - and just too warn you, I had that creepy (almost dirty) feeling for almost 3 days. . .I've done some reading about it (and Avisg is the expert, so maybe I'm mistaken), but from my understanding, the reason that it makes some people feel that way (and is SUPPOSEDLY non-addictive) is because it is a synthetic opiate (lab manufactured) as opposed to "natural" opiates such as vicodin, lortab, etc.  Just a thought. . .

Thanks for all the comments.  It's hard for me to understand why this could be a DOC because of this yicky, sickening feeling.  I guess it works different for everyone.
They can put a man on the moon, but can't make something for pain that isn't addictive, habit forming, or kills the lining of your stomach.  Go figure.

Its my DOC yes because you to the slow release you may not feel great until tomorrow.

I would definitely not take it again, its very addictive. Hope you feel better soon.

I have heard this is the Non-addictive pain medication.  Then I have heard it is addicting.
I had a prescription of Ultram for my GI pain, but something "told" me not to try it.  I read the side effects on the pamphlet, and threw them away.

I hope the feeling goes away soon,
