Any chance of getting different meds? I've had some weird reactions that ended just with a slight change in the prescription.

Of course, this great advice isn't gonna help you get through the rest of the night...:O :D

Yeah probably. The doc just called these in for me this afternoon. Just something to get me through until the MRI on thursday. But now that I think about it 40 pills are a lot to pop between now and then, but whatever.

I have never taken these before to they are way small and are the generic for ultram.

Yeah, ultram makes me itch too. It's a common side effect.

A sense of euphoria is also a side effect. Stuff can be dangerously addicting. I'm normally a very reserved aloof guy, but when I had to take Ultram all that was stripped away and I thought everything was "Great" and everyone was "great."

If Satan himself had been present I'd have found something nice to talk to him about.

Really? Thats kindof scary. I'm a little concerned now that the doc gave me so many.

Can you take Benedryl? It might help with the itching.

I know what you mean. I can tolerate alot of pain normally, but when you are on the verge of completely breaking down and bawling like a bawl bag, they yeah I'm gonna pop something stronger than an advil.

Just paint yourself with calamine lotion. Then, you'll be a pink, euphoric, painless thing and everybody likes those.:D

I took Ultram for awhile.

I was cooking at home and realized I had nicked myself with the chef knife when I looked down at the small pool of blood I was standing it.

Scary medication IMO.

See it's having the exact opposite affect on me. I feel really "high", but I will sleep for like two hours then I've been wide awake cleaning the house and working ever since.

Today is going to suck.

lil - that doesnt sound at all like the reaction i have - everybody's different but you really might wanna call the doc or at least the pharmacist - tramadol knocks me the EFF out.....and does wonders for the pain

mrs jk had an allergic reaction to a prescription and the symptom was itching

when I was on the hydrocodone, the itching was the first symptom down the road to hapiness.:) ;)
itchy part didn't last long, then it was good times.
