How long does it take to become addicted to tramadol ultram?

Emiko

I hurt my foot recently, and my doctor put me on this. Well, I've been taking more than I should at once, and I would like to hear anyone's opinion.

Contrary to an answer I saw given to you, Tramadol is not listed as a narcotic drug (yet). It is an opiate based medication that is used to control mild to moderate pain, and has proven very effective. However, if you are having to double up, then you should discuss other options with your doctor, simply because he knows you and your injury and can tell you what is best as far as making your injury heal properly.There isn't really a time frame regarding addiction. Some people can just become addicted to the fact that they are taking meds. Everyone is different, but I can tell you some signs of addiction that should help you to evaluate your use.1) Taking medication earlier than the time frame prescribed.2) Taking extra medication.3) Not being honest with physician about your consumption of the drug, or about your pain.I think the best way to determine if you have an addiction or are becoming addicted is to be truly honest with yourself. It is easy for you to convince yourself that you need the drug if you are not being logical about its use.Good Luck

Ultram is a wide spectrum pain reliever but like any drug if taken NOT according to the prescription it can be ineffective and potentially quite harmful. I have been on this drug for the past 2 years due to MS and have not noticed side effects similar to an addictive medication. Have a talk with your local pharmacist or physician follow the directions as written,otherwise the drug will be ineffective.

There is not a set time limit for addiction or dependence. You say that you have been taking more than you should, are you doing this because you are in more pain than the ultram is helping with, or are you taking more to get high? Be honest with yourself.Either way, you need to speak with your doctor. Be truthful with your doctor about your level of pain, and how much ultram you have been taking, and how often.

What is tramadol? is it dangerous to take?

Alene

a friend of mine has given me this pills, called tramadol, and she said i'll be in a great mood if i take them. what is tramadol? is it a psychedelic drug?



Bulah

no, its a stimulating opiate. Yes, it generally will boost you mood. no, its not physchedelic or hallucinogenic.Its not terribly dangerous, but as with any drug, it has its risks.DO NOT TAKE IT IF YOU ARE ON ANTI DEPRESSANTS. You risk serotonin toxidrome.Chances are, if your opioid naive, it will make you feel somewhat queasy, give you constipation and cause unusual dreams if you attemp to sleep under its influence. It's generally quite safe, and is OTC is some countries... But your probably best to avoid taking any drug that you dont know the very basics about...i.e. asking if this opiate is a psychedelic...EDIT the lowest dosage in the literature when taken alone in a person with no seizure dosage for causing a seizure was 700mg...F**kwit below me can stop his over drama, yes?



Bernard

If you aren't bothered by minor adverse effects like seizures, it won't be much of a problem.
