Ultram Withdrawal

Ultram withdrawal comprises severe symptoms when abrupt cessation occurs after prolonged use.

“A sudden discontinued supply of opiates will cause often unbearable withdrawal symptoms including irritability, profuse sweating, abdominal cramping and diarrhea,” states detoxification anesthesiologist, Dr. Clifford A. Bernstein, M.D. “This agonizing withdrawal is the reason most of those with dependencies cannot stop taking the drugs.”

Ultram ® is a narcotic-like, synthetic painkiller similar to opiate drugs. Although it delivers less narcotic effect and dependence liability than opiates, product information warns Ultram ® “may induce psychological and physical dependence of the morphine-type”.

Dependent patients who experience withdrawal when they discontinue using Ultram ® will find that Ultram withdrawal symptoms match those of narcotic opiate medication.

When discontinued abruptly, the effects of Ultram withdrawal often include:

• Anxiety
• Diarrhea
• Goose bumps (piloerection)
• Hallucinations (occurs rarely)
• Insomnia
• Nausea
• Pain
• Rigors (fever chills)
• Sweating
• Tremors
• Upper respiratory symptoms.

Additional withdrawal symptoms typical of prolonged opiate use may also occur, including:

• Aches and pains
• Cold- or flu-like symptoms
• Headaches
• Loss of appetite
• Mood swings
• Sleep difficulties

In addition to treating acute or chronic pain and mood disorders, tramadol knows some recreational drug use due to its euphoric effect similar to that of opioids. However, Ultram’s potency is not as intense. The likelihood of overdose symptoms (convulsions) also makes it  dangerous for unsupervised, non-medical use. Higher than normal therapeutic doses can cause seizures, which may explain its limited use as street drug.  High doses also affect sleep patterns.

Ultram ® also lessens the withdrawal symptoms of more addictive opiates (like hydrocodone or oxycodone), since its degree of usage can be more easily lowered.

Withdrawal from any prescription medicine—and especially opiate-based ones — poses a difficult process. Ultram withdrawal, specifically—like overdose — can cause damage to the lungs, heart, brain, liver and kidneys. Please note that health-compromised patients, because of  their drug dependency and overuse, may also risk an agonizing, or sometimes fatal, withdrawal if not supervised by experienced medical professionals.

Only safe and responsible detoxification combined with the latest medical technology can decrease the associated risks of Ultram withdrawal. The majority of conventional detoxification procedures use older protocol that may inflict patients with an unwarranted, dangerous, and painful withdrawal syndrome.

We consider painful Ultram withdrawal as avoidable, and Ultram dependency as both treatable and reversible. The Waismann Method of Rapid Detoxification is effective, dignified, safe and humane.
