Painfully watching it destroy dad
Ultram worked well for moderate pain control (Ultram ER did not work, it seemed to have no effect). I was very satisfied with this medication until I had a seizure after starting the medication again at a higher dose after stopping (I was also taking Zoloft at the time, which I was told by my doctor didn't interfere with Ultram, but I have my doubts).

It works good but it's not for me I feel terrible!!
Anxiety, feelings of panic, sweating on my face, breaking into a sweat while in bed, feeling like I'm going to die. A year and a half ago, I went to the ER because I felt like my heart was beating strangely also, I was sweating profusely. While being examined, my heart rate dropped to 30 MPM and the nurses had to dry me off as I was sweating everywhere. They hospitalized me for a day and a half. Blood tests, ultra sounds, and tread mill stress tests were done but, nothing was found. The Doctors told me it was just one of those unexplained things.
After three days UTI was worse. called the PA She called in another round UTI was still there she was going to prescribe another drug and I decided to go on natural route flushing it out with water cranberry juice herbs hoping I'd get better on my own.
Anxiety, night terrors, personality change, emotionality, tics
I am very careful about how often I take this so that my doctor will not worry that I am abusing the medication.
