I have no idea how big this forum is but I would appreciate if someone here would be willing to email me with some information. I have been doing research on a medication called Ultram, or more specifically its newer version Ultracet. I was in a car accident over the summer and about three months ago I started on Ultram 2 times a day. I was just upgraded to Ultracet a month ago and told to take it up to 4 times a day. I have been only taking it for one month at 2-3 pills a day..however two weeks ago I stopped sleeping and have been aching, having chills, stomach aches, overeating, under eating, experiencing extreme nervousness, and hot/cold flashes. I went in for a blood test but I have a sinking feeling it is going to show up normal. Is it possible that I could be addicted in so short a time at such a low dosage? If so, how do I stop this evil stuff without dropping out of all my classes (or maintaining some semblance of a life?!).
