Ultram

[Beth105]

Hey guys, my Dr. gave me Ultram to take for this weekend before I get my epidural injections on Monday. I can't take my motrin because it could bruise my back and cause bleeding. If I take this as prescribed, should I be OK? He prescribed me 125 50 mg., that is a lot.I will not take all those, what do you guys think?

Tramadol (Ultram) is a mu agonist that is substantially less potent than morphine as an
analgesic (more than 100 fold less active). This product also has peripheral analgesic
actions. Tramadol has high oral activity and is metabolized by cytochrome-mediated
oxidative-O-demethylation to the corresponding 3-phenol which is more active than the
parent drug. The phenol is glucuronidated and eliminated. A fraction of the tramadol
dose is also metabolized by cytochrome-mediated oxidative-N-demethylation to less active metabolites.
Tramadol is Not a narcotic , but is synthesized.

omg really my doctor gave me ultram for the back pain and I'm on sub is that the same what kind of dr is he?

two words. flush them. you know you won't be taking them for pain if they are staring at you. one pill down, and that path your brain has created for addiction, will be opened right back up. endorphins galore. you get one bit of pleasure from that first pill.... bye bye to the other 125. good luck babe. you've made it so far! keep going!

for someone fighting to stay clean.... you should not even have them in the house...just my opinion..if i had made it as for as you have[i haven't],why tempt yourself

at the end of my heavy drug abuse i didn't take pills any more to relieve pain, i took them to get high. i was on tram's too and they are bunk if you ask me. they didn't take away my pain, they didn't make me high and the w/d was worse than the hydro's, what's the point. my addict brain was like "what's the point, i didn't even get a pay off." they are not worth it. i know what chronic pain is, i struggle with it every day and still struggle to not use pills, it's one day at a time. i would stay away from the tram's if i were you. god bless, christina

Thanks guys, I know what I need to do! I was only gonna take them for a few days but I guess I'll only take them if the pain is completely unbearable. I'm in a bad situation too, my other half just told me he doesn't want to be w/ me anymore..............bummer. Thanks for the advise, I'm trying to stay positive.   -Beth
