ultram Er

Hi Jori, i was prescribed ultram er for my pain, be honest with you, i didn't feel anything. i was hoping to feel buzz or something. i discontinued, now taking oxycontin 20 mg and motrin 800, works great. you have to try few meds to see which one works for you, only you and your doctor can figure this out.. if you dont' mind asking, where is your pain?

my pain is everywhere, but mostly in my shoulders, down my arm to my fingers, and in the muscles sitting right next to my spine. Which as you can imagine is like 10 times more painful than anywhere else.

Jori, this is a good drug for me because it goes to work on the musculo-skeletal system, which is where much of my pain either originates or is referred to. It doesn't have any sedating effects on me at all. It does help me a great deal because it attacks my pain as opposed to making me feel buzzed. It is not a med that you take and 10 minutes later you are dancing the lambada, it takes time to have enough in your system to provide overall and sustainable relief. Continue to take it properly for a few days and see if you don't begin to feel better. Some on this forum have reported that it either made them sleepy or didn't give any pain relief. You must give it a chance to work. I hope you are feeling much better soon.
