Comment:
I have ankylosing spondylitis and 8 to 10 grade pain for 49 years.I'm 69 years old. The Ultram that I Was taking in full strength(2 pill every 4 hours)was the only thing that helped me. Now I get 1 pill every 8 hours and my grade 10 is back! Thanks to the Government. NOW THAT GOVERNMENT ARE THE DOCTORS!

Comment:
I have to take this when I get back spasms, but the medicine is almost as bad as the back spasms. It causes vomiting, nausea, and a terrible headache that lasts up to 24 hours after taking it. I wonder if an enteric coating would help abit. My doctor offers no alternative.

DO NOT USE THIS DANGEROUS MEDICINE!! I can't believe this medicine is still on the market. I was prescribed this med back in 2002/2003 for pain after surgery, it didn't work and made me feel worse then I did before I took it. Stomach pain,nausea,vomiting and severe headaches. The worst part though were the grand-mal seizures I had while taking this medication.They would come out of nowhere

I have pain in my intestines caused by side effects of hormone therapy. Tramadol works great for me. Only one 50mg tablet a day takes away all pain.

Comment:
Had the worst UTI in my life. Er gave me this in my IV then sent 4 pills home with me. It relieved the pain so I could sleep. Thank goodness I no longer need this drug but would take it again for severe pain if needed. I rate it as as a positive drug for pain.
