What are the side effects of ULTRAM ER?
I’ve had to take Ultram on and off for years, since it first came out. It isn’t very strong (I’ve also had to use morphine, fentanyl, and methadone at different times in the past–at higher doses than the person above me, actually), but for mild/moderate pain, it’s fine. It can make you feel high at first–taking it with food will stop that. I never felt high, but some people do. I did get dizzy when I first started it, but if I ate with it for the first few days I was OK. It can make you sleepy, so be careful driving until you know if you’re going to get knocked out or not! With an extended release pill like Ultram ER, it’s really best to take it as it’s directed. This will send a steady stream of pain relief into your system. It’s much harder to treat pain if you wait until you start hurting–the medicine has to catch up instead of keeping a steady pace. Did that make sense? I’m trying to say that it has to work harder and is less effective if you wait until you hurt. Don’t worry if
