Advice & Tips
Tramadol (Ultram) is a very good treatment for all-over pain, such as that associated with Fibromyalgia. I stopped taking it simply because I no longer have health insurance, and could not afford to see my doctor. Just a warning - Tramadol does affect serotonin levels in the brain, so if you are taking anything such as an anti-depressant, please be careful!
In the beginning this medicine made me ITCH like crazy. It also made me dizzy, drowsy and increased my brain fog. I only take it when I absolutely have so much pain that I can't move. It does kill the pain, but I do NOT really like how I feel the first hour or so after it kicks in.
