Side effects:: Drug tolerance

Date: Aug 31, 2010
Advice & Tips: Easy to take if you're already taking meds regularly. Elevates mood AND relieves pain. Tolerance builds pretty quickly, I was a max 400mg/day for a couple of years and had to move to Roxicet, but still took Ultram. It is addictive. Withdrawal can be very hard. It can change personality.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Side effects:: Dry throat, Dry mouth (xerostomia), Sleepiness, Difficulty thinking, Nausea, Headaches

Date: Aug 07, 2010
Advice & Tips: Been taking this every day since last winter, helps to take the edge off, does not take the pain away, but definitely makes it more tolerable. Medicaid screwed up my paperwork, so going cold turkey on this and like four other meds. Not sure which withdrawals are from what, but I feel like hell. Pain through the roof, depression, exhaustion. Very difficult. Hope they get it fixed soon, though I am not sure which meds I will continue, I am afraid of this happening again, and I have been completely non-functional for over a week now.

Date: Dec 16, 2009
Advice & Tips: Makes me nauseous, hence the naausea meds with it. Still nauseous, even with the meds, but bearable. Dulls the pain, or makes me stupid enough not to care. Do not like to drive or take the kids out by myself on this dose, as it makes me absent minded and makes it hard to concentrate. Not sure is this is the med or the fibro, but either way its annoying.

Date: Nov 06, 2009
Advice & Tips: Takes the edge off for awhile, but gives me a wicked "hangover" headache when it wears off. makes me pretty nauseous and very tired, usually take it and go to bed.
