> Last year, a pain management specialist prescribed me Ultram for a severe back problem. My pdoc told me not to take it for the exact reasons Elizabeth noted.
Do you have a history of seizures or any other reason to think you're at risk? I think that Ultram is probably okay for most people if taken in the normal dose range. Is your back doing better, BTW?
> Elizabeth, and some of you other folks out there, how do you know so much? (Rhetorical question).
I don't really know that much, but I do try to share what I know when someone has a question. Most of what I know I learned from reading stuff. I've also picked up a lot of "real life" information, about the effects meds have on people and how frequent they are and so on, in support groups (including online ones such as this one). I think that doctors would benefit a lot from reading this stuff.
