I am in the middle of one of the worst episodes ive had. started in nov still going strong. I tried a new drug called ultram for 4 days last week,taking 50 mg every 4 hours round the clock.I was having 1-3 headaches a day most reaching level 10 pain. with the ultram i was having 1-2 a day but none over a pain level of 6-7.I stopped taking it for two days (due to the fact my insurance company wont pay for it) and was back to three a day level 10. Needless to say i spent my own money after ending up naked and weeping on the bathroom floor at 3:oo am. after takin it for a full day i had one headache last night and with oxygen it lasted 20 minutes pain level 5. Having suffered for 13 years, i no its to early to think this is MY answer but it is a little hope. any info or feedback on this drug would be appreeciated.
