Fibromyalgia Support Group

i honestly never felt like it done me that good . i took it about seven years been off it about month cant see difference but never took as much as i could and vioxx was my drug two . i had about two months worth when they recalled it . inever turned it in like they said i took it.i took celebrex for about four months now it sure has helped the sorness of my body.

I was on Tramadol for a few months...It seemed to help in the beginnig, but stopped working for me. I started having bad sweating and not much pain relief. My Dr. switched me to Neurontin (Gabapentin) and it helps alot. Good luck, I know it works for others here.
:)

i take ultracet three times a day. it is 37.5 mg of tramadol and 325 mg of apap (tylenol)
i helps me function, however it allows a lot of breakthrough pain.

works very well for me.. take it every 4 hours around the clock if needed.. takes the edge off and doesnt make me feel loopy.. been on it for a long time now... :)

I don't remember my dosage but I do remember that it helprd a lot. My Ins doesn't cover it now so I can't take it any longer. Besides it shouldn't be taken with Prozac anyway. Oh, well. :(

Have you tried Lyrica? I know some ppl haven't had any luck with it, but I've recently started on it and so far so good. Just thought I'd mention it.

Sue, Ultram is the med that really helps me the most. I started out taking 1 tab ( i believe it is 50mg) anywho there is only one strength of Ultram... but I started taking 1 tab 1-2 times a day, and it really helped... fibro was much less at that time. I now take 1-2 tabs three times a day. Keeps things tolerable most of the time. For break thru pain I use Lortab. Many time Ultram will give you a bit of a "buzz" or light headed feeling of some sort. It helped with the pain so much I kept it up and that feeling passed in about 2 weeks. I have taken Ultram now for 5ish years. Hope this helps...

I have been on Tramadol for over a yr now. I take 300 mg a day. Each pill i have is 50 mg so i take 6 a day. They say DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN 400 mg a day. It worked really well at first. Start your dosage low maybe 1 pill a day then u will eventually build up a tolerance and you can up your dosage a pill. Thats how now i am on 300 mg a day. I can get 180 pills a month for $12 @ WalMart. they added it in my area Walmart to that $4.00 generics list so that helps so much. If you check around, like here Giant Eagle Pharmacy has the $4 generics too but Tramadol is NOT on there. I learned that the hard way LOL. Good luck to you and i hope that it helps you.

I take Tramadol 100 mgs every night at bed time so that pain does ot wake me up! I also take Seroquel at bed time so I can sleep all night.

I take Tramadol also if I am having a painful day!

I have been taking it for over a year now and it seems to take the edge off..I have percocets for it the pain is intolerable but I try not to take them..

Hope

Have been on it since the second of jan. and I has helped me alot but if I take it too late in the evening I can't sleep. I am on 50mg. every 4 hours or as needed.
