What is Ultram Er
TramadolThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryTramadol is a prescription drug used to treat moderate to severe pain. It is a synthetic opioid that works by activating the μ-opioid receptor, as well as affecting neurotransmitters involved in pain modulation like serotonin and norepinephrine. Tramadol is often considered a safer alternative to other opioid medications due to its lower potency and good tolerability. However, it still carries the risk of developing tolerance, dependence, and abuse, and can also cause overdose, respiratory depression, seizures, and serotonin syndrome if used in higher doses or with other opioid medications.

Effectiveness
How Ultram Er Affects PatientsTramadol is a painkiller that works by changing how pain is processed in the central nervous system. It can cause side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, constipation, sweating and itching. It is less likely to cause a histamine release compared to morphine, and will not have a major effect on heart rate. It can cause respiratory depression, meaning slower breathing, and can reduce the ability to cough. It can also cause miosis (small pupils) and seizures in some cases. Tramadol can also cause a rare but potentially life-threatening reaction if taken with certain drugs, like antidepressants or migraine
How Ultram Er works in the bodyTramadol is a drug that helps reduce pain. It works by interacting with the body's opioid receptors, which are responsible for pain perception. It also helps to block or reduce the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, two neurotransmitters involved in pain. Tramadol's primary metabolite, M1, is 6 times more potent in reducing pain than tramadol itself. Tramadol can also affect other pain modulators, such as alpha2-adrenoreceptors, neurokinin 1 receptors, voltage-gated sodium channels, transient receptor potential cation channels, muscar

Ultram Er Reviews: What are patients saying about Ultram Er?
5Patient Review
7/18/2010 Ultram Er has been a total godsend. It's alleviated my pain to the point where I can still work, which is amazing given how bad things were before. The only downside is that if I miss a dose, I start to feel jittery.
5Patient Review
10/26/2013 Ultram er helps with sleep and pain management so I can do daily activities, just like cleaning. It does lose it's effect after a while and needs to be reevaluated for dosage. Over all this works great.
4.7Patient Review
11/14/2015 Ultram ER was prescribed to me by a pain specialist, and it has been an incredible help. Not only does it manage my pain, but it also got rid of my restless legs syndrome entirely! The generic doesn't work as well, unfortunately, so I have to get the brand name which is way more expensive. But relief from this much suffering is worth any cost.
4.3Patient Review
6/29/2011 This medication works well for me. On days when the pain is bad, I take 200mg and it helps a lot. On good days, I only need 100mg. It's much better than taking narcotics.
3.7Patient Review
3/17/2010 I found that the side effects were less manageable at night, so I switched to taking it in the morning. This seemed to help quite a bit. Additionally, while it doesn't completely erase my pain, it does allow me to be more active throughout the day which is great. Although, I have noticed that my heart rate seems to increase at times.
3.7Patient Review
3/25/2010 I was taking this medication for some major pain I have been in for some time now.
3.3Patient Review
8/9/2011 This medication helps me sleep and lowers my blood pressure.
3Patient Review
2/26/2010 Tramadol has been a godsend for chronic pain relief. It's much easier on my body than traditional painkillers, and I haven't experienced any major negative side effects besides occasionally having to pee and feeling drowsy.
2.7Patient Review
5/21/2011 I've been dealing with chronic back pain for two years now, and I switched to Ultram ER about eight months ago. At first it was effective, but now it's losing its potency.
2.3Patient Review
4/17/2010 I've been taking this medication for three years to manage my fibromyalgia pain. At first, it was very effective; however, now it has all but stopped working for me.
2.3Patient Review
3/9/2011 I've been using regular ultram, but the extended release does nothing.
2Patient Review
6/30/2011 I didn't finish the course of this medication because I got sick to my stomach after just two doses. It's a shame, because it did help with my back pain. Additionally, it made me very drowsy.
2Patient Review
11/12/2015 I experienced slight relief from PAD after taking the maximum dose of Tylenol.
1Patient Review
5/14/2014 I'm an ex-athlete who has had five knee surgeries, three of which were total knee replacements. Tramadol has helped me immensely and I've even been able to go back to coaching soccer. I take a maximum of 150 per day and have found it to be extremely effective.
