I keep hearing that Ultram is the "non-narcotic" alternative for those who have substance abuse problems but when I read more about it I keep seeing warnings about taking it if you've ever had a problem with narcotic pain relievers. What's the deal? I thought Ultram wasn't addictive? At least that's what I heard when I asked all my addict friends about it.

I keep hearing that Ultram is the "non-narcotic" alternative for those who have substance abuse problems but when I read more about it I keep seeing warnings about taking it if you've ever had a problem with narcotic pain relievers. What's the deal? I thought Ultram wasn't addictive? At least that's what I heard when I asked all my addict friends about it.

Relying on word of mouth information can be filled with many inaccurate and untrue statements. If you listen to recovery addicts tell it, they may say if it's a non-narcotic drug than it will be safe for them to take. Actually, an addict is an addict, and the problem is themselves, not the drug in question. Taking more of any drug that is prescribed to you can be dangerous, including Ultram.

If you're suffering from real chronic pain, see your doctor and ask about Ultram. However, if you have a substance abuse problem, I suggest you get help as soon as possible. Having less impact on the body, and the more affordable price makes its recent popularity very apparent. It is unlike other prescription medications, as it will not cause problems with the kidneys and liver, even after extensive use. That would be a trade off of one problem for another.

The issue with "chronic" pain is that it will be a part of your life for the rest of your days. This brings in a number of considerations that you don't need to think about with short term pain situations like broken bones or dental work. If you're suffering from arthritis or back strain you could be taking two to four doses of medication every day from now on.

Some main concerns for patients that need to take pain relief medication are cost, side effects and addiction. So if you're an addict, then simply, you're an addict. It really won't matter what type of drug you take, you'll most likely abuse it. Go get professional help for your addiction, maybe a twelve step program would be helpful. If you're in it for the long haul than consider taking a non-narcotic as an alternative. Ultram will not do damage to the kidneys or liver and you will find it very affordable from online pharmacies.
