Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Hello everyone. I have been using Ultram or Tramadol(generic) for pain/fatigue for a couple of years. Has anyone else tried it, and what were the results? It was the first med that helped my neuropathic pain in legs/arms/general, and also helps with fatigue. It is absolutely amazing, but you have to be careful to take it every 4-6 hours or so, because it does cause some " rebound " pain that is a bit worse than what I started with. It has a short acting serotonin component that wipes out fatigue. Right now, I am taking 3 a day, but have taken as few as 1 at bedtime. When I first began taking it, I was concerned about addictive qualities, so I had to see if I could stop taking it easily. And I did stop for a year or so (after 3 days of increased pain and irritability, all withdrawal symptoms were over.) For me, the downside is worth the hours of the day without pain and feeling like I can get things done!! Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
