Ultram
Overdose
Ultram overdose, either alone or in
combination, is a major cause of drug-related deaths.
Caution with Ultram
Statistics show that fatalities caused by Tramadol
or Ultram overdose within the first hour are not
uncommon. We warn patients taking Ultram not
to exceed the dose recommended by their physician.
To avoid Ultram overdose, you should avoid Ultram
® when taking large doses of:
-
Sleeping pills, such as:
- Narcotic pain relievers, such as:
- Demerol
- Morphine
- Darvon
- Percocet
- Psychotherapeutic drugs, such as:
- antidepressants
- tranquilizers
- sedatives (including alcohol).
Drug overdose ranks as the second-leading
cause of accidental death in the United
States, according to the Center for Disease Control
(CDC, 2004).
- In general, respiratory depression is the most
severe, and possibly lethal, reaction associated
with opioid and Ultram overuse.
- Naloxone can reverse some, but not all, symptoms
caused by Ultram over-dosage; however, the risk
of seizures increases with naloxone administration.
- Federal law prohibits sharing controlled narcotics
like Ultram ® with others. Each patient and illness
responds differently to treatments.

Are You Addicted to Ultram ®?
You probably have a dependency if:
- You feel ill physically, when you discontinue
Ultram ®.
- You require larger doses to achieve the same
effect.
- You take Ultram ® more often than prescribed.
- You feel ashamed about your Ultram use.
- You don’t find pleasure in doing simple
things.
- You act indifferently to family, sexual relations,
or outings.
Your dependency tends toward addiction
when:
- You pursue various doctors or hospital emergency
rooms.
- You commit illicit acts in order to purchase
Ultram ®.
- You buy medicine on the street to obtain a
supply.
The above signs indicate your Ultram use has reached an
addictive level and risks danger
of an Ultram overdose.
If you increasingly use opiate
drugs or
Ultram pain relievers, seek medical attention. The
