Dear Joshua, I have been taking Ultram for severe pain due to Crohn's Disease for the past five years. I have had issues with withdrawal and dependency and feel that I am unable to stop using this drug. Ultram is effective in controlling my daily pain and allows me to function, I am happy with it's results. I had to stop using for about a week because I was unable to refill due to financial issues. During that very painful, horrific week, I experienced terrible withdrawal, i.e., most severe symptoms were sweating, nausea, vomiting, tremors. I do not use any other substance, have never had a problem with dependence before using Ultram. Please contact me with any information you have. Thank you.
