I was prescribed to take ultram ER and tramadol for back pain. I was at my nephews baseball game, woke up in an ambulance. I had a grand mal seziure. At the Emergency Room, I was told that I had overdosed because the ultram and tramadol are the same thing and I was over medicated. The same dr. prescribed both meds, at the same time. I did not do any research because at the time I had trust in my physicians. Now I go out of town to do my dr ing.
The doc put my Mum on these about 3 weeks ago for back pain. Within 3 days she felt sick, had a lot of dizzy spells and her feet and legs broke out in rash, itched, weeped and swelled up pretty bad. She stopped taking it as we all said it had to be the tramadol as she was ok before. I had a look on the internet and the side efffects are pretty bad, it is in fact a synthetic morphine (opiate) and a lot of people were still “ill” with after effects for days after they stopped taking it. My Mums feet are still a bit swollen now!
Nearly.
I was prescribed it by the doctor at Accident and Emergency despite it being in my notes that I was taking amitripyline antidepressant. It came without an instruction or directions leaflet.
The following night I spent the whole night shaking, couldn’t breathe and my muscles were contracting, which made it feel like my joints were about to dislocate. The room was spinning and I was sweating profoundly. I really thought I was going to die.
Got to love the British NHS
This hasn’t happened to me but it did make my blood pressure go really low! I was really dizzy, sick, really peculiar feeling! I only take it now when my pain is bad at night, I daren’t take it during the day, I rely on less powerful pills in the day
