Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you
to continue taking Ultram.
Side effects may include:
Agitation, anxiety, bloating and gas, constipation,
convulsive movements, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness,
dry mouth, feeling of elation, hallucinations, headache,
indigestion, itching, nausea, nervousness, sweating,
tremor, vomiting, weakness
Avoid Ultram if it has ever given you an allergic reaction.
Also avoid Ultram after taking large doses of sleeping
pills such as Halcion, Dalmane, and Restoril; narcotic
pain relievers such as Demerol, morphine, Darvon, and
Percocet; or psychotherapeutic drugs such as antidepressants
and tranquilizers. And do not take Ultram after drinking
excessive amounts of alcohol.
warnings
If you have stomach problems such as an ulcer, make
sure your doctor is aware of them. Ultram may hide the
symptoms, making them difficult to diagnose and treat.
Ultram can cause mental and physical addiction. If you've
ever had a problem with narcotic painkillers such as
Percocet, Demerol, or morphine, you should avoid Ultram.
Withdrawal symptoms may occur if you stop taking Ultram
abruptly. Such symptoms include anxiety, sweating, insomnia,
pain, nausea, tremor, diarrhea, and respiratory problems.
A gradual decrease in dosage will help prevent these
symptoms.
Do not take more than the recommended dose of Ultram,
since larger doses have been known to cause seizures,
especially if you have epilepsy or are taking medications
that also increase the risk of seizures. Among such
medications are almost all antidepressant drugs, plus
narcotics and major tranquilizers such as Loxitane and
Stelazine.
If you have liver or kidney disease, be sure your doctor
knows about it. Your dosage may have to be reduced.
If you have any kind of breathing problem, use Ultram
with caution or take a different kind of painkiller.
Ultram can impair respiration, especially if taken with
alcohol.
If you have experienced a head injury, consult your
doctor before taking Ultram. The medication's effects
may be stronger and could hide warning signs of serious
trouble.
Dose
The usual starting dose for chronic pain is 25 milligrams
once a day in the morning. The daily dosage is then
increased every 3 days until it reaches 200 milligrams
taken in four doses of 50 milligrams each. After the
phase-in period, Ultram may be taken in doses of 50
to 100 milligrams every 4 to 6 hours, depending on the
severity of pain. If rapid pain relief is needed, the
phase-in steps can be skipped, though side effects will
be more likely. The maximum dosage under any circumstances
is 400 milligrams a day (300 milligrams for those over
age 75).
For people with kidney problems, the usual starting
dose is 50 to 100 milligrams every 12 hours; and the
maximum per day is 200 milligrams. For those with cirrhosis,
the usual dose is 50 milligrams every 12 hours.
Overdose
An overdose of Ultram can be fatal. If you suspect an
overdose, seek emergency medical treatment immediately.
Symptoms of Ultram overdose include: Difficult or slowed
breathing, drowsiness, coma, seizures, cardiac arrest
